Summary

Blue Earth County agreed to an intent-to-cost-participate agreement with the City of Mankato to reconstruct County State Highway 26 (Industrial Road), covering prorated project development and design costs; the board approved the agreement by voice vote.

Public Works staff described an intent-to-cost-participate agreement with the City of Mankato to reconstruct the segment of County State Highway 26 known locally as Industrial Road. The county's participation will cover project development and design costs and will be prorated based on the total anticipated project cost; a cooperative construction agreement would follow once project plans and a final engineer's estimate or bid amount are available.

A commissioner recommended approval and moved the agreement; the motion was seconded and carried by voice vote. Staff said the agreement is consistent with previous cost-sharing arrangements for road and utility design and that a future cooperative construction agreement will specify final cost shares after bids are received.
