Statement of Purpose
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE: In October 2012, with assistance from consulting firms Barr Engineering and Limnotech, the city of Duluth submitted applications to the Minnesota Recovery Task Force (MRTF) for funding to stabilize stream banks and remove debris and sediment to protect city property and nearby infrastructure. The grant award of $1,727,419 was one of the first that Duluth received and is set to expire before all of the restoration projects have been completed. This resolution authorizes the extension of this contract of a period of one year to December 31, 2016, with no change in total dollar amount or scope of work. Funds shall be payable from Disaster Recovery Fund 225, Department 125 (Finance), Division 1807 (Parks, Recreation and Other), Object 5303 (Engineering Services), city project no. 1186.
