PROBLEM/ISSUE STATEMENT
The Ponderosa School Path project is funded through CTEP with the local matching funds coming from the South Billings Urban Renewal Tax Increment Finance District. The project will connect to the existing trail at Kings Green Subdivision and go west to the Ponderosa Elementary School and then west from the school through Ponderosa Park and connecting to the sidewalk along the west side of Orchard Land near the Sam's Club. Bids were opened on Tuesday March 31, 2015, and there were 3 companies that submitted bid proposals. More time is needed to allow for further bid review and for the CTEP Administrator to review and issue a concurrence letter. Staff recommends delaying project award until the April 27 Council meeting.
