City accepts $2.64 million SDDOT grant to replace Cedar Street bridge
Summary
The commission authorized the city manager to sign a State DOT bridge-improvement grant for the Cedar Street bridge replacement; total project estimate is about $5.2 million with $2,641,500 in grant funds, bidding planned for late summer and construction targeted to begin this fall.
Amy, a city staff member, told the commission the Cedar Street bridge replacement is a long-awaited project and that the city has secured an SDDOT bridge-improvement grant. She said the total project is estimated at about $5.2 million, with the city’s grant award set at $2,641,500. If the commission approved, the mayor would sign and staff would transmit the acceptance within 30 days to remain within the grant deadline.
Amy outlined the anticipated schedule: bidding late summer, construction beginning in the fall, and a goal of completing the work by the end of the following year. She also noted the city will present a construction management/engineering agreement with Banner Engineers for construction administration when that contract is ready.
The commission moved and approved the memorandum authorizing the city manager to sign the SDDOT grant agreement. The motion passed on roll call.
