A 5th Avenue North Corridor Feasibility Study was completed in 2021. The Study considered the feasibility of a multi-modal trail from North 32nd Street to Main Street along the 5th Avenue North corridor.  The corridor does not contain any roadway improvements. The Study found the project to be feasible, but recommended phasing the project.  WO 23-09 will continue with the planning effort based on recommendations within the Study, developing a 30-percent level design and cost estimate for the section of corridor between the YMCA and Yellowstone Art Museum (Phase I). The 30-percent design is an approved FY23 CIP project.  Funding for final design and construction has not been identified. A 30-percent design cost estimate will allow staff to identify future funding options for final design and construction of the Phase I section of trail. 

The City requested proposals for professional services from the prequalified list derived from the established Statement of Qualifications. Sanderson Stewart was selected for the project using the proposal process. No other proposals were received. 
 

City Council may:

• Approve award of Professional Services Contract with Sanderson Stewart; or,
• Not approve a contract with Sanderson Stewart. If this agreement is not approved, this work will be delayed.

The contract is in the amount of $104,427 and is being funded with Downtown Tax Increment Financing funds and a $10,000 contribution from Trailnet as approved in the FY23 budget.  There are adequate funds to award the contract.
