Statement of Purpose
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE: This resolution authorizes the third amendment to the grant agreement (City contract No. C24400) with the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (MNDNR) Lake Superior Coastal Program to amend the project scope and extend the term of the agreement. The original scope of work for the grant supported the replacement of the dune-crossing boardwalk near the Lafayette Community Center and that project was completed under budget with grant funds remaining. The City of Duluth and Minnesota’s Lake Superior Coastal Program identified necessary additional work adjacent to the boardwalk to utilize the remaining funds. This amendment does not change the amount of the award. This third amendment will allow for the replacement of decking and stairs that connect to the new boardwalk and extend the term of the agreement to expire on June 30, 2025.
