Statement of Purpose
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE: This resolution renews the multi-year Joint Powers Agreement C20604 with the DECC Authority for the operation of the Minnesota Slip pedestrian draw bridge during year 2024, for an amount not to exceed $50,380. The increase of $3,680.00 over 2023 is based on the implicit price deflator (IPD) for Minnesota governmental purchases as required by the agreement.
The City published the original request for proposals in November 2005, and invited eight vendors to submit proposals. The DECC was the only vendor to submit a proposal. Both the City and the DECC signed a contract for the 2006 and 2007 operating seasons. In 2008, both parties signed a new contract, which has since been renewed annually. The DECC has been operating the bridge for the City since 2001.
