Introduction
On September 19, 2005 the City Council adopted Resolution 05-113, Authorizing the Preparation of
Plans and Specifications for the School Street/High School Parking Lot Signalization Improvement.
These plans have now been completed.
Discussion
Since the inception of this proposed project, it has been anticipated that the School District would share
in half of the cost of the construction. Preliminary discussions have been held with School District
officials in the past regarding this concept. In order to get a firm cost with which to get a formal
agreement with the School District, it will be necessary to bid the project. Therefore, the City Council is
being requested to authorize adoption of a resolution approving the plans and specifications and ordering
the advertisement for bids. It is anticipated that bids would be opened on March 28, 2006 and could be
presented to the City Council at a meeting in April after discussions with the School District.
Financial Impact
It is anticipated that the City's share of this project which will be approximately one-half the cost, will be
between $75,000 - $100,000.
