Dear Mr. Craig:
The final cost for right of way acquisition for this project is estimated
to be $880,000.00. This is considerably higher than our original estimate
of $678,500.00.
Article III of the above referenced agreement provides the method of appor-
tioning the right of costs for the project. The costs of acquiring certain
parcels, as identified in the agreement, are to be shared equally by the
City and the County. We have enclosed an itemized listing of those parcels.
The estimated final cost is $261,330.55. The City's share would be
$130,665.28
The agreement, however, provides that the City's share would be limited to
$110,000.00 unless the City, upon request of the County, authorized the
expenditure of City funds in excess of said amount. The County of Hennepin
does hereby request that the City of Hopkins share 50% of the cost of
acquiring those parcels identified in the agreement.
Thank you for your consideration.
Very tr. y yours,
Herbert 0. Klossner, P.E.
