3. Accept Grant & Approve Agreement - Three Mile Drive Bike/Pedestrian PathREPORT TO: Doug Russell, City Manager
FROM: Chad Fincher, Director, Parks and Recreation
SUBJECT: Transportation Alternatives Project Agreement UPN 8683 - Three Mile
Drive Bike/Pedestrian Path
MEETING DATE: August 18, 2014
BACKGROUND: The Montana Department of Transportation has approved our MAP-21
TA project application and awarded grant funding for the Three Mile Drive bike/pedestrian path.
The project consists of trail sections both on -system (MDT right-of-way along Three Mile) and
off -system (Northwest Lane). Under MAP-21 TA, off -system trail projects require a local
match. The project amount of $272,500 for preliminary engineering, construction engineering,
and construction of the trail will be paid for with Federal, State, and City funds. The breakdown
is $235,930 in TA funds, $31,390 in State funds, and $5,180 from the City. The City's match
will come from cash in lieu monies received from the School District Central Kitchen project for
sidewalks.
The State will design, advertise for bid, and award the contract to construct an ADA compliant
bike/pedestrian path in Kalispell adjacent to Three Mile Drive. The path will run from Meridian
to the proposed Bypass trail, and from Three Mile Drive along Northwest Lane to the Kalispell
Middle School.
The purpose of this project is to provide a safe and convenient bicycle and pedestrian trail to and
from the Kalispell Middle School and surrounding neighborhoods.
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended the City Council accept the grant and approve the
project agreement with the Montana MDT.
FISCAL EFFECTS: Budgeted in FY 14115 Public Works Special Street Maintenance Fund,
line item #2500-421-430248-354 is $5,180 for the City's match.
ALTERNATIVES: As suggested by COUDCil.

8. The parties understand that it is possible that the estimated cost of the project may be
exceeded once the project is begun. The State will cover cost overruns up to 10% provided the
City will pay the requisite 13.42% local matching share. If costs exceed those shown in
paragraph 4 by more than 10%, the State will discuss options for addressing the overruns,
including but not limited to, using available City CTEP funds and the required local CTEP
matching funds, alternative designs, or reduction in the scope of the project. The 5tate's
Project Manager will inform the City's point of contact beforehand, and as early as possible, of
anything that appears will result in a cost increase, and will discuss the need for any possible
additional costs with the City and will consider the City's comments and concerns for that
additional cost. None of this will prevent, delay, or excuse the City from paying for any
additional costs deemed necessary by State.
9. If payment is not made within that thirty (30) day period, interest on the unpaid amount will
accrue at the rate of 10% per year, and continue to accrue until paid in full. If the City is billed
for additional funds, MDT will not participate in any future funding agreement with the City
until full payment, including interest, is received from the City.
