Twenty-one firms were notified or inquired about the RFP. All interested vendors were able to submit question for a pre-proposal meeting that was held on January 27 th. Ten firms participated in the pre-proposal informational meeting where responses were given to all submitted questions. Many of the vendor responded favorably to the pre-proposal meeting, and we feel that it improved the quality of the proposals received. The deadline for submitting proposals was February 10, and eight proposals were received. A committee of six staff from the Website Redesign Core Team (representing Marketing and Community Engagement; Recreation, Education and Natural Resources Management; and Information Technology) reviewed and ranked the proposals. The proposals that ranked the highest demonstrated an ability in both technical design and in blending technology with organizational brand. Based on the proposal review, four firms were invited to an interview which included a 15 minute overview presentation, followed by 45 minutes of questions by the interview panel. Following the interviews, firms were ranked by the interview committee based on their content strategy and plan for migration, approach to improved search functionality, recommendations for 3 rd party integrations, overall project management and project fee.

Waste Management, Randy s Environmental, and Aspen Waste also had requested bid information, but did not submit a bid. Staff did not expect interest from many haulers due to the geographical size of the Park District as well as the requirement for collection of all three waste streams (trash, recycle, and compost). Bidders were required to submit cost per container based on type of waste, size of container, and location. The total bid was determined by multiplying per container costs by the estimated number of pickups per year. The total for Republic Services was $123,932. In 2015 the Park District s actual expenditures for waste hauling were $105,999. The total for 2014 was $85,813. Waste hauling is expensed to various budgets including special revenue facilities, and the Scott/Three Rivers budget. Per specifications, hauling, labor and administrative costs will remain constant for the twoyear contract period. Tipping fees charged by waste processing facilities, state taxes, incineration fees and Hennepin County solid waste management fees are considered pass through expenses and are subject to adjustment during the second year of service. The Agreement gives the Park District flexibility to increase or decrease numbers of containers or container size and type, frequency of pickup, as well as to add or delete locations for service. The Park District will only be billed for actual services received. Republic Services, formerly Allied Waste, has served the Park District for the past fifteen years. The Park District has been satisfied with the quality of the service and recommends awarding the contract for waste hauling to Republic Services for a two-year period of May 1, 2016 through April 30, 2018.

As staff continues moving forward with public engagement, we would like to provide an opportunity for the Board to review other potential names and reaffirm its previous direction to move forward with Great River Regional Park or provide new direction to staff on an alternative name. Staff offer the following names for Board discussion and consideration. Great River Regional Park Gathering Waters Regional Park Great Mississippi Regional Park Mississippi Gateway Regional Park Upper Mississippi Regional Park Staff recommend utilizing the following considerations when considering new park and trail names. Reflect regional or state significance Not cause confusion Reflect the main draw of the park Be welcoming

25 Working Concept Diagram Staff will provide a brief presentation on the natural resource and recreation development concept planning process including what ideas are currently under consideration, what ideas staff recommend removing from further consideration, and a general concept bubble diagram of the park. Next Steps Over the next eight weeks staff will continue to refine and develop the recreation develop concept plan with the goal of presenting a recreation development concept with ballpark estimates and operation consideration to the Board in May. In addition, staff will continue to engage the community, neighbors, and targeted under represented community groups (people of color, people 45+ years old, household income of $50,000 or less, and high school education level or less). Staff intend to share the concept bubble diagram to ensure that any new opportunities or concerns are identified now and can be addressed during the planning process rather than after a recreation development concept is solidified. In addition, continued engagement, specifically with the underrepresented community groups, helps build and maintain our relationship with these community groups and helps ensure that their needs and ideas continue to be addressed throughout the planning process.

99 REQUEST FOR BOARD ACTION Meeting Date: 03/31/16 Business Item: Unfinished Item Number: 6A Division: Office of the Superintendent Originating Source: Boe Carlson, Superintendent Agenda Item: Legislative Update Superintendent s Recommendation: NO ACTION REQUIRED; THIS ITEM IS FOR INFORMATION AND DISCUSSION. Background: The Superintendent (or designee) and the Chair of the Intergovernmental and Community Engagement Committee, will provide a verbal update to Commissioners on current Park District legislative initiatives. A copy of the 2016 Legislative Platform and Legislative Procedures are attached (References 6A-1 and 6A-2). Relationship to the Vision The Request for Action supports the following element(s) of the Vision Plan: Protect the region's water and natural resources Inspire people to recreate Connect people to nature Create vibrant places Collaborate across boundaries Relationship to the Policy Statement The Request for Action supports the following element(s) of the Policy Statement: Policy I - Purpose of the Park District Policy II - Form of Government Policy III - Role in Intergovernmental Affairs B. Role in the Regional Recreation Open Space System C. Intergovernmental Relations D. Legislative and State Agency Relationships

100 2016 Minnesota Legislative Platform February 18, 2016 BONDING Three Rivers strongly supports the Metropolitan Regional Park System s request for $11 million in State bonds to improve and expand the metropolitan regional parks system. The Metropolitan Regional Park System s request for $11 million in State bonds would be matched with $7.3 million in Metropolitan Council bonds, creating $18.3 million to be distributed as sub-grants to regional parks implementing agencies, including Three Rivers. The bonds would provide $3.9 million to Three Rivers Park District for capital projects to construct and improve the facilities around the Park District, including:»» Bassett Creek Regional Trail in New Hope and Crystal»» Twin Lakes Regional Trail in Brooklyn Center»» Nine Mile Creek Regional Trail in Edina»» In-park trails»» Trailhead development»» Boat ramp redevelopment»» Parking areas and general pavement rehabilitation SALES TAX EXEMPTION Three Rivers strongly supports implementing the sales tax exemption for special districts effective July 1, The K-12 bill enacted in the 2015 Special Session contained a provision that delayed implementation of the sales tax exemption for special districts (including Three Rivers Park District) for one year. The tax exemption will save Three Rivers Park District approximately $660,000 each year that it is in effect, thereby reducing the property tax burden on suburban Hennepin County taxpayers. DRAFT CLEAN WATER, LAND AND LEGACY AMENDMENT FUNDING Three Rivers supports funding the Conservation Partners Legacy Grant program with money from the Outdoor Heritage Fund. The Lessard-Sams Outdoor Heritage Council has established the Conservation Partners Legacy Grant program to encourage and support local conservation efforts. These grants have allowed Three Rivers Park District to restore 430 acres of woodland habitat and more than 250 acres of prairie habitat within the Twin Cities metropolitan area.

101 INVASIVE SPECIES MANAGEMENT Three Rivers strongly supports state funding for programs to manage the spread of invasive species. The spread of invasive species such as the emerald ash borer, zebra mussels and invasive carp into Minnesota present serious threats to natural resources, including Park District lands and water bodies. The Park District supports efforts to control the spread of invasive species that threaten the native populations of the region s and state s ecosystems. Three Rivers partners with other governmental agencies, such as watershed districts and watershed management organizations, to conduct rigorous inspections of watercraft entering and exiting waterways within our service area. The Park District partnered with the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources to rehabilitate the Coon Rapids Dam to serve as a barrier to invasive aquatic species. Three Rivers has undertaken an ash tree management effort to mitigate the effects of emerald ash borer infestation once it ultimately arrives in our parks. The mission of Three Rivers Park District is to promote environmental stewardship through recreation and education in a natural resources-based park system. The Park District was created in Since then, it has grown to encompass over 27,000 acres of parks and trails and serves nearly 11 million visitors annually. WATER QUALITY/WETLANDS PROTECTION Three Rivers is committed to taking a sustainable approach to the protection of water bodies and wetlands. Three Rivers Park District continues to face serious issues of water quality within its lakes, rivers and other bodies of water. The ongoing degradation of water quality deteriorates recreation opportunities and the investments that have been made in parkland. Three Rivers supports and leads sustainable programs to address water quality, including:»» Aquatic invasive species management»» Total maximum daily load (TMDL) studies of water bodies»» General water quality improvement projects DRAFT MAY MAY Join us for DAY AT THE CAPITOL! Three Rivers Park District s annual Day at the Capitol event will be held on Monday, May 2, beginning at 12:30 p.m. at Leif Erikson Park. Please stop by and visit us!

103 REQUEST FOR BOARD ACTION Meeting Date: 03/31/16 Business Item: Unfinished Item Number: 6B Division: Planning, Design & Technology Originating Source: Jonathan Vlaming, Assoc. Supt. Agenda Item: Approval of Trailway Cooperative Agreements for Bassett Creek Regional Trail Superintendent s Recommendation: MOTION TO AUTHORIZE THE BOARD CHAIR AND SUPERINTENDENT TO ENTER INTO A REGIONAL TRAIL COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT FOR THE BASSETT CREEK REGIONAL TRAIL WITH THE CITIES OF NEW HOPE AND CRYSTAL, PENDING FINAL LEGAL COUNSEL REVIEW. The following information was prepared by Stephen Shurson, Landscape Architect. Background: At its October 8, 2015 meeting, the Park and Trail Operations Committee reviewed and released for public review the schematic design alignment for the Bassett Creek Regional Trail (BCRT). Subsequently, the schematic design was reviewed by the New Hope City Council at their October 19 workshop session and the Crystal City Council at their October 20 workshop session. A public open house for the project was held on November 12, At its regular meeting on October 22, 2015, the Board authorized staff to negotiate trailway easements required to complete the BCRT in New Hope and Crystal, with the understanding that finalized permanent easements and cooperative agreements would be brought before the Board for approval at future meetings. Since that authorization by the Board, staff has been working collaboratively with the City staffs of New Hope and Crystal to finalize the trail design, obtain necessary private Trailway easements and develop Trailway Cooperative Agreements for each City (References 6B-1 and 6B-2). The terms and conditions defined by both of the Trailway Cooperative Agreements include: Rights granted to the Park District for design, construction, operation, and maintenance of a regional trail on city-owned property. Rights granted to the Park District to acquire easements from private parties as needed to provide a continuous and contiguous trail corridor. Staff and General Counsel from both the Park District and the Cities of New Hope and Crystal have reviewed the terms of the agreements. At this time, the Crystal Cooperative Agreement has been finalized, while a few minor details remain to be finalized with the New Hope Cooperative Agreement. If approved by the Board, these agreements will be considered for approval by the Crystal City Council on April 5, 2016 and the New Hope City Council on April 11, 2016, pending final legal counsel review.

105 Reference 6B-1 CITY OF NEW HOPE AND THREE RIVERS PARK DISTRICT BASSETT CREEK REGIONAL TRAIL: TRAILWAY COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT This agreement (the Agreement ) is made and entered into this day of 20, by and between the Three Rivers Park District, a body corporate and politic and a political subdivision of the State of Minnesota ( Park District ), and the City of New Hope, a Minnesota municipal corporation ( City ). WHEREAS, Park District is a political subdivision of the State of Minnesota authorized by statute to acquire, establish, operate and maintain park and trail systems; and WHEREAS, Park District promulgates master plans for the development of park facilities including trail systems; and WHEREAS, Park District s master plans are submitted to the Metropolitan Council for approval; and WHEREAS, Park District s First Tier Trails, Greenways, and Parks Master Plan includes the Bassett Creek Regional Trail ( Trail ) through the City; and WHEREAS, City provided a resolution of support for the Bassett Creek Regional Trail Master Plan on August 8, 2011; and WHEREAS, Park District prepared a specific master plan for the Trail in cooperation with the City that was approved by the Metropolitan Council on January 11, 2012; and WHEREAS, Park District Board of Commissioners adopted the Bassett Creek Regional Trail Master Plan on February 16, 2012; and WHEREAS, Park District and City desire to cooperate to obtain and/or transfer property rights, design, construct, reconstruct, operate and maintain a continuous and contiguous Trail corridor located in the City employing their own powers; and WHEREAS, this agreement defines the roles and responsibilities for each party for the Trail through the City; and NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, City and Park District agree as follows: March 17, 2016 Page 1

106 A. Property Rights. 1. Easements City, where it owns fee title and has rights to do so, shall convey to Park District a permanent non-exclusive easement for trail purposes in the form of the Public Trailway Easement Agreement (hereinafter Easement ) attached hereto as Exhibit A for the Trail route previously approved by City and as illustrated in the attached Exhibit B. Said Easement in combination with property rights acquired by the Park District shall provide continuous and contiguous Trail corridor and shall be conveyed within 60 days of the execution of this Agreement. In the event private property rights are required to provide a continuous and contiguous corridor for the Trail or to meet the required Easement width, Park District shall secure necessary property rights except as provided herein. City shall provide Resolutions of Support and authorize the Park District to acquire any property rights as necessary to provide a continuous and contiguous corridor of adequate width through direct purchase or eminent domain. In the event the City has an opportunity through its own municipal powers (i.e. plat approval, subdivision, development agreements, or similar) to secure private property rights necessary to provide a continuous and contiguous corridor for the Trail or to meet the required Easement width, the City shall be responsible to obtain said private property rights subject to the Park District s agreement to reimburse City for amount paid, if any, for said property rights. City shall not be required to obtain said private property rights before City s reimbursement costs are approved by Park District. City shall be responsible for all other associated acquisition costs. The parties recognize that certain segments and road/railroad crossings for the Trail may require agreements with third parties such as the Minnesota Department of Transportation ( MnDOT ) or Hennepin County. The parties to this Agreement shall cooperate to secure necessary permissions to use such crossings, bridges, and right-of-way. In the event that necessary permissions cannot be secured, this Agreement may be terminated by the Park District. Park District shall not be obligated to proceed with any obligation in this Agreement until City has conveyed Easement to the Park District for all areas where City has rights to do so. If City cannot convey Easement by June 1, 2016, the Park District may terminate this Agreement and neither City nor Park District shall have any obligation hereunder. 2. Limited Use Permit: Certain segments of the Easement lie within platted rights-of-way and easement areas where City does not have an interest in real property but does have the legal authority to construct, maintain and operate sidewalks, trails, and other such public ways. In such cases, City shall convey to Park District a Permanent Irrevocable Limited Use Permit (LUP), where it has rights to, for trail purposes. Said LUP shall be executed separately from this Agreement, serve as a license to Park District to construct, operate and maintain the Trail within the LUP area March 17, 2016 Page 2

107 to provide a continuous and contiguous Trail corridor, and shall be conveyed within 60 days of the execution of this Agreement. 3. Changes to Property Rights: In the event City s right to so maintain the Trail within these segments of the Easement or LUP is lost by vacation, condemnation, revocation of license or permit, or otherwise, City will acquire such additional rights, titles and interests as are needed to assure a continuous and contiguous Trail corridor of adequate width through the Easement at City expense. If the loss of such right to maintain a trail within right-of-way areas occurs after construction of the Trail, the City shall acquire such additional right, title or interest and reconstruct the Trail, if necessary, at City expense. The City represents that it currently has the legal right and authority to construct and maintain Trail within such platted rightsof-way. For the segments of Trail Route on private property as illustrated in the attached Exhibit A, Park District shall acquire property rights through direct purchase or eminent domain as necessary at no cost to City. City shall approve and provide a resolution of support to Park District for acquisition of property rights through direct purchase or eminent domain as necessary to provide a continuous and contiguous corridor. In the event the City acquires property rights from private parties to assist the Park District in securing a continuous and contiguous trail corridor of adequate width, the Park District will reimburse City for the amount paid for the property rights, if amount paid is first deemed reasonable by the Park District. If City cannot acquire and convey the LUP to Park District, where it has rights to do so, within sixty (60) days following execution of this Agreement, the Park District shall not be obligated to proceed with any obligation under this Agreement and further this Agreement may be terminated by Park District. B. Financing. A fundamental component of the Trail's financing plan is a $922,880 Federal Transportation Enhancement Fund Program Grant. If for any reason this grant is lost or otherwise terminated, the Park District may, at its sole discretion, terminate this Agreement and shall not be obligated to fulfill any outstanding terms and conditions of this Agreement not previously performed except to return unrecorded property rights and/or take such measures as may be necessary to cancel the property rights. Park District will not reimburse City for indirect City costs incurred by City including, but not limited to, staff costs, costs of consultants and advisors, legal fees, filing fees, permit fees, or any other expense, which do not represent direct approved design or construction costs. City shall not seek reimbursement from Park District for design and construction costs related to the non-regional trail items. C. Design and Construction. Design and construction of the Trail and associated structures and road crossings shall be in accordance with the Bassett Creek Regional Trail Master March 17, 2016 Page 3

108 Plan, Typical Trail Sections (Exhibit C) and standards and guidelines adopted by the Park District. Park District will have final discretion over regional trail and safe crossing design and the interpretation and execution of engineering best practices. Park District will coordinate and fund the Trail design and construction. Park District may, in its sole discretion, contract with consultants to provide professional services including, but not limited to, design development, bidding documents, construction plans and specifications, contract document preparation, construction administration, and project closeout. Park District shall submit all Trail plans to City for review and approval, provided however, that approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Park District will coordinate the relocation of utilities as necessary to construct the Trail in accordance with this Agreement. Park District shall not be responsible for utility relocation costs within City rights-of-way except for any necessary relocation of city-owned utilities. Park District shall pay for the relocation of any City-owned utilities. City shall enforce its franchise agreements with utility companies and require utility companies to relocate utilities at their own expense. Park District shall be responsible for bidding and construction of the Trail and trail related structures in accordance with approved construction plans and specifications. Construction shall commence following: (1) conveyance to Park District of property rights in accordance with Section A, Property Rights, of this Agreement, (2) Park District and City approval of plans and specifications, (3) establishment of construction funding in the Park District Asset Management Program and/or from other external grants/parties, and (4) fulfillment of all grant/external funding source parameters. D. Permits and Assessments. City shall grant the Park District all City approvals, City permits, and other official City permissions necessary to operate, maintain, construct and reconstruct Trail.

WHEREAS, Park District is a political subdivision of the State of Minnesota authorized by statute to acquire, establish, operate and maintain park and trail systems; and WHEREAS, Park District promulgates master plans for the development of park facilities including trail systems; and WHEREAS, Park District s master plans are submitted to the Metropolitan Council for approval; and WHEREAS, Park District s First Tier Trails, Greenways, and Parks Master Plan includes the Bassett Creek Regional Trail ( Trail ) through the City; and WHEREAS, City provided a resolution of support for the Bassett Creek Regional Trail Master Plan on September 20, 2011; and WHEREAS, Park District prepared a specific master plan for the Trail in cooperation with the City that was approved by the Metropolitan Council on January 11, 2012; and WHEREAS, Park District Board of Commissioners adopted the Bassett Creek Regional Trail Master Plan on February 16, 2012; and WHEREAS, Park District and City desire to cooperate to obtain and/or transfer property rights, design, construct, reconstruct, operate and maintain a continuous and contiguous Trail corridor located in the City employing their own powers; and WHEREAS, this agreement defines the roles and responsibilities for each party for the Trail through the City; and NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, City and Park District agree as follows: March 17, 2016 Page 1

123 A. Property Rights. 1. Easements City, where it owns fee title and has rights to do so, shall convey to Park District a permanent non-exclusive easement for trail purposes in the form of the Public Trailway Easement Agreement (hereinafter Easement ) attached hereto as Exhibit A for the Trail route previously approved by City and as illustrated in the attached Exhibit B. Said Easement shall provide continuous and contiguous Trail corridor and shall be conveyed within 60 days of the execution of this Agreement. In the event private property rights are required to provide a continuous and contiguous corridor for the Trail or to meet the required Easement width, Park District shall secure necessary property rights except as provided herein. City agrees to work with the Park District to provide it such authorizations as it may need to acquire any property rights as necessary to provide a continuous and contiguous corridor of adequate width through direct purchase. In the event the City has an opportunity through its own municipal powers (i.e. plat approval, subdivision, development agreements, or similar, but not including eminent domain) to secure private property rights necessary to provide a continuous and contiguous corridor for the Trail or to meet the required Easement width, the City shall be responsible to obtain said private property rights. Park District will reimburse City for amount paid, if any, for property rights if first approved by Park District. City shall be responsible for all other associated acquisition costs. The parties recognize that certain segments and road/railroad crossings for the Trail may require agreements with third parties such as the Minnesota Department of Transportation ( MnDOT ) or Hennepin County. The parties to this Agreement shall cooperate to secure necessary permissions to use such crossings, bridges, and right-of-way. In the event that necessary permissions cannot be secured, this Agreement may be terminated by the Park District. Park District shall not be obligated to proceed with any obligation in this Agreement until City has conveyed Easement to the Park District for all areas where City has rights to do so. If City cannot convey Easement by June 1, 2016, the Park District may terminate this Agreement and neither City nor Park District shall have any obligation hereunder. 2. Limited Use Permit: Certain segments of the Easement lie within platted rights-of-way and easement areas where City does not have an interest in real property but does have the legal authority to construct, maintain and operate sidewalks, trails, and other such public ways. In such cases, City shall convey to Park District a Permanent Irrevocable Limited Use Permit (LUP), where it has rights to, for trail purposes. Said LUP shall be executed separately from this Agreement, shall serve as a license to Park District to construct, operate and maintain the Trail within the LUP area to provide a continuous and contiguous Trail corridor, and shall be conveyed within 60 days from the execution of this Agreement. March 17, 2016 Page 2

124 3. Changes to Property Rights: In the event City s right to so maintain the Trail within these segments of the Easement or LUP is lost by vacation, condemnation, revocation of license or permit, or otherwise, City will acquire such additional rights, titles and interests as are needed to assure a continuous and contiguous Trail corridor of adequate width through the Easement at City expense. If the loss of such right to maintain a trail within right-of-way areas occurs after construction of the Trail, the City shall acquire such additional right, title or interest and reconstruct the Trail, if necessary, at City expense. The City represents that it currently has the legal right and authority to construct and maintain Trail within such platted rightsof-way. For the segments of Trail Route on private property as illustrated in the attached Exhibit A, Park District shall acquire property rights through direct purchase or eminent domain as necessary at no cost to City. City agrees to work with the Park District to provide such authorizations as are needed for the Park District to acquire property rights through direct purchase or eminent domain as necessary to provide a continuous and contiguous corridor. In the event the City acquires property rights from private parties to assist the Park District in securing a continuous and contiguous trail corridor of adequate width, the Park District will reimburse City for the amount paid for the property rights, if amount paid is first deemed reasonable by the Park District. If City cannot acquire and convey the LUP to Park District, where it has rights to do so, within six (6) months following execution of this Agreement, the Park District shall not be obligated to proceed with any obligation under this Agreement and further this Agreement may be terminated by Park District. B. Financing. A fundamental component of the Trail's financing plan is a $922,880 Federal Transportation Enhancement Fund Program Grant. If for any reason this grant is lost or otherwise terminated, the Park District may, at its sole discretion, terminate this Agreement and shall not be obligated to fulfill any outstanding terms and conditions of this Agreement not previously performed except to return unrecorded property rights and/or take such measures as may be necessary to cancel the property rights. Park District will not reimburse City for indirect City costs incurred by City including, but not limited to, staff costs, costs of consultants and advisors, legal fees, filing fees, permit fees, or any other expense, which do not represent direct approved design or construction costs. City shall not seek reimbursement from Park District for design and construction costs related to the non-regional trail items. C. Design and Construction.

Park District shall pay for the relocation of any City-owned utilities. City shall enforce its franchise agreements with utility companies and require utility companies to relocate utilities at their own expense.

In consideration of the Park District s performance under this Agreement including its maintenance obligations, City hereby agrees that the Park District shall not be subject to assessment by the City pertaining to improvements made on the lands included in, or adjacent to, the Easement or LUP areas. E. Inconsistent Rights. The City, for itself, its successors and assigns, hereby covenants that it will not construct nor grant others the right to construct any structures or improvements on the Easement or LUP areas, which are inconsistent with the rights and interests herein granted to Park District, but the City shall otherwise have the right to use the Easement or LUP area and to grant to others such rights.

Background: The Lake Rebecca Singletrack and Horse Trail project includes the construction of approximately miles of new sustainable Singletrack (mountain bike) trails and the construction or modification of 4.2 miles of horse trails in Lake Rebecca Park Reserve (Reference 6D-1). In February 2014, the Park District submitted an application to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) for a $150,000 Federal Recreational Trails Program matching grant to provide partial funding for reconstruction of sustainable horse and singletrack (mountain bike) trails in Lake Rebecca Park Reserve. Submission of the grant application was approved by the Board of Commissioners at the March 6, 2014 meeting. The Board of Commissioners at their November 20, 2014 meeting passed a resolution accepting the $150,000 Federal Recreational Trails Program grant that is administered through the DNR Division of Parks and Trails. The Grant agreement was finalized with the DNR in December 2015 and remains in effect until June 30, Bid Results: Advertisements for bid for this project were placed in Finance and Commerce and online through QuestCDN.com. Construction documents were issued on February 16, Bids were opened on March 9, There were 14 prime contractor plan holders and 5 submitted bids (Reference 6D-2).
