Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution awarding a minor construction contract for Centennial Trail access improvements under Project No. TR2413, approving a scope refinement, authorizing a total construction budget, approving Budget Amendment No. 26.052, and authorizing the City Manager to execute the Minor Construction Agreement and related documents.

Those studies and subsequent field review identified several localized pedestrian and bicycle access gaps at nearby street connections to the Centennial Trail. These locations show consistent public use through informal "desire paths" but lack durable, ADA-compliant infrastructure.
