PREPARED BY: Adam Breest, Parks, Recreation, & Forestry Director
REPORT DATE: October 30, 2018
ADMINISTRATOR'S REVIEW/COMMENTS:
No additional comments to this report: ______________________________
See additional comments attached: _________________________________
EXPLANATION: Since 2016 the Village of Little Chute and City of Kaukauna have been working
together on the Fox River Boardwalk planning in good faith. As the project becomes more of a realty
staff feel it is now time to enter into an intergovernmental agreement with the City of Kaukauna. I have
provided a draft agreement for discussion.
ATTACHMENTS: Draft Intergovernmental Agreement for the Fox River Boardwalk.
RECOMMENDATION: Discussion Fox River Boardwalk Intergovernmental Agreement
AGREEMENT
This Agreement is between the Village of Little Chute (herein “Village”) and City of
Kaukauna (herein “City”). The Village and City may be referred to herein individually as “party”
or collectively as “parties”.
Background Recitals
WHEREAS, the Village and City are entering into this Agreement as an
Intergovernmental Agreement authorized by § 66.0301 Wisconsin Statutes; and
WHEREAS, the purpose of the Agreement is to establish terms and conditions for the
joint ownership, construction, and maintenance of a multi-modal pedestrian bridge (herein
“Bridge”) to cross the Fox River and connect the Village trail system with the City trail system;
and
WHEREAS, the parties anticipate receiving a substantial portion of the initial construction
cost in the form of grant funds and to fund the balance of initial construction cost, and future
maintenance cost, from their respective municipal budgets;
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree to the following terms and conditions:
1. Grant Funds. The parties anticipate receiving grant funds from Fox Cities Greenways,
501(c)(3) entity for a minimum of 80% of the total design and construction cost of the
Bridge, and possibly other grant or charitable sources, but if a minimum of 80% of the
costs are not received by the parties in this manner, the Termination provision in
paragraph 8 below shall apply.
2. Grant Fund Segregated Accounts. All grants and contributions received for purposes
of the Bridge shall be deposited in one or more segregated accounts to be exclusively
used for the Bridge by the Village and City in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement unless this Agreement is terminated as set forth below in paragraph 8. All
grant funds received for this purpose are deemed jointly owned by the Village and City
regardless of which segregated account the funds are maintained in.
3. Budgeting for Construction. The City and Village will each budget and pay for up
to a maximum of 10% each for the total design and construction cost of the Bridge
based upon the condition that at least 80% of such design and construction cost are
received by grants or other contributions.
4. Joint Ownership. The Bridge will be jointly owned equally by the Village and City,
an undivided 50% each, as tenants in common.
5. Kaukauna/Fiscal Agent. In recognition that bond financing is a probable requirement
for the economic feasibility of the Bridge project, it is agreed that City of Kaukauna
will act as the fiscal agent for all reasonable and necessary purposes associated with
bond financing, and statutory compliance therewith.
6. Maintenance Decisions. All decisions with regard to the maintenance, repair, or
replacement of the Bridge or its components (“Work”), including but not limited to the
nature, scope, timing, and cost of such Work shall be determined by mutual agreement
between the Village and City. If such repairs are necessary and the City and Village
cannot agree on the necessary details to perform the Work, the matters in issue will be
submitted to GRAEF Engineering (GRAEF-USA Inc.), Green Bay, Wisconsin, whose
decision shall be deemed a final arbitrated decision binding on both parties.
7. Maintenance and Repair Costs / Annual Budgeting. All costs for repair,
maintenance, and/or replacement associated with the Bridge for labor and materials
shall be shared and paid for equally by both the Village and City at 50% each. The
Village and City each agree that they will annually budget $1,000 for purposes of
Bridge maintenance and repairs as part of their annual budgeting process for purposes
of covering either current or future maintenance and repair costs which budgeted funds
shall be maintained in segregated accounts and used solely for purposes of this
Agreement. If these budgeted funds or reserves are insufficient the municipalities agree
to increase their budgets as necessary.
8. Repair and Maintenance Contracts. Any contracts with third party contractors for
maintenance or repair of the Bridge shall be entered into jointly by the Village and the
City with such third party contractors, unless the parties agree to alternative
arrangements for purposes of expediency or their mutual convenience on a case by case
basis.
9. Termination. If the parties are unable to receive sufficient grant funds for at least 80%
of the design and construction cost of the Bridge, this Agreement shall be terminated.
However, the grant funds will be retained in one or more segregated accounts for 12
months to determine if alternative mutually acceptable financial arrangements can be
made to proceed with Bridge construction pursuant to a mutually agreed amendment
to this Agreement. If no such arrangements and corresponding amendment can be
made, then the grant funds shall be divided equally between the Village and City and
used for such other lawful purposes as determined in the independent discretion of each
party.
10. Amendments. This Agreement may be amended in writing at any time upon mutual
written agreement between the Village and City.
11. Complete Agreement. This constitutes the complete agreement between the parties
and there have been no other oral representations, warranties, or agreements upon
which either party has relied, unless in writing and signed by the party to be bound.
12. Persons Bound. This Agreement is binding on the parties hereto and their respective
heirs, successors, and assigns.
13. Signatures. Copy signatures transmitted by fax, email or other electronic transmission
and counterpart signature pages are deemed as binding and valid as originals for
purposes of this document.

REQUEST FOR VILLAGE BOARD CONSIDERATION
ITEM DESCRIPTION: Fox River Boardwalk Joint Presentation & Discussion
PREPARED BY: Adam Breest, Parks, Recreation, & Forestry Director
REPORT DATE: October 30, 2018
ADMINISTRATOR'S REVIEW/COMMENTS:
No additional comments to this report: ______________________________
See additional comments attached: _________________________________
EXPLANATION: In 2018, the Village and City of have been working to secure grants and donations
for the proposed Fox River Boardwalk project. In 2018 the Village and City have secured the following
committed funds.
• 10% Village of Little Chute - $330,000
• 10% City of Kaukauna - $330,000
• The Great Wisconsin Cheese Festival - $20,000
• Nelson Family Community Foundation - $650,000
• Outagamie County ATC Fund - $600,000
• Elmer and Grace Hoffman - $85,000
• Stewardship RTP - $14,182.72
• Stewardship Regional - $483,274
• Stewardship Urban Rivers - $89,438
• Stewardship National Park Service - $483,072
TOTAL - $3,080,541.92
We will also be submitting a grant request to the FCCVB and Fox Cities Greenways Inc. We hope that
between these two grants we can achieve our fundraising goal by the end of 2018.
The private donation from Little Chute residents Elmer and Grace Hoffman wanted to share the
following information
“Dr. Elmer (Doc) Hoffman was a Marquette Dental School graduate and practiced dentistry in Little
Chute for 41 years spanning 1945-1986. Grace (Hammen) Hoffman was born and raised in Little
Chute and was married to Doc for 48 years until his passing in 1997. They gratefully enjoyed many of
their wedded years in a home at the edge of Heesakker Park. This gift is an expression of gratitude to
the good people of Little Chute and Fox Valley for their cherished friendship and support of Doc's
practice for so many years.”
2019 is our target year to break ground on this project. Through the previous investigation work that we
have performed with GRAEF we adjusted the estimates to reflect the railroad, river and soil conditions,
current construction costs, and the added site work. The estimated project cost at this point is
$3,277,876.
The next step we would like to take at this time is to enter into a contract to complete preliminary
design, design development, and final design on the boardwalk. This phase would include all aspects of
the final planning up until submitting documents for bidding. This final step will also include an
updated estimate for the project. We would like to begin this work immediately so we can try to stay on
schedule and bid out the project in late February/early March. We will not enter into an agreement with
GRAEF for bidding and construction services until final agreements with the state grant program have
been completed in 2019.
In the 2018 budget, the Village and the City each allocated $50,000 ($100,000 total) for final
engineering and permitting. At this time, we are asking the Village Board and City Council to approve
preliminary design, design development, final design, and reimbursables in the amount of $82,750.
