The report will also provide a proposed preliminary assessment roll for each of the benefitting properties <br />based upon the City’s Special Assessment Policy for Local Improvements. <br />To accurately scope the proposed roadway improvements the City Council is being asked to authorize <br />geotechnical investigation services. This investigation will review in place roadway structure and soil <br />conditions and provide recommendations on proposed roadway improvements. Staff will get proposals to <br />complete the work from two geotechnical testing agencies, evaluate proposals, and provide a <br />recommendation on who to enter into contract with. An estimated budget based on previous investigations <br />is included in the motion authorizing the City Administrator to enter into a contract in the not to exceed <br />amount presented. <br />A project schedule for the 2024 Street and Utility Improvements is attached and outlines the implementation <br />timeframe necessary to address public involvement, acquire field survey prior to winter snowfall, identify <br />and obtain project related easements, complete the detailed design, and to receive contractor bids to ready <br />the improvements for construction in 2024. <br /> <br />FISCAL IMPACT: $35,400. <br />If authorized, FOCUS Engineering Inc., will prepare a feasibility report in the not to exceed amount of <br />$18,400 for the 2024 Street and Utility Improvements. Staff is also recommending a not to exceed amount <br />of $17,000 for geotechnical investigation services. If the improvements are ordered, the report costs will be <br />charged against the project fund and become assessable to the benefitting properties. Should the project <br />not be constructed, the report costs cannot be assessed. <br />RECOMMENDATION: Staff is recommending that the City Council approve a Resolution Ordering <br />Preparation of a Feasibility Report for the 2024 Street and Utility Improvements.
