4 COUNTY ROAD H SIDEWALK PROJECT This project is essentially complete. There is a punch list of minor items that need to be addressed. Staff anticipates that these punch list items will be completed in the next week or two and that SEH will be submitting a letter recommending acceptance and final approval by the end on this month. As a note, there was a recent water main break along County Road H, which resulted in the loss of a small portion of this sidewalk. This will be repaired and replaced, as weather permits, next spring. CITY HALL REHABILITATION PROJECT This project was discussed at the April 5, 2004 City Council Work Session. At the work session Staff brought the City Council around the portion of the building that houses the Police Department. There was not enough time to go through the entire building. On May 17, 2004 a complete walk through review of City Hall was conducted with the City Council. This project is currently in the Design and Development stage. On October 11, 2004, the City Council approved Resolution No. 6370 approving and authorizing the execution of a Letter Agreement with SEH for the Development of Plans and Specifications for the City Hall Rehabilitation Project. Staff has been meeting weekly with the project architect and design team to go over the construction plan, room by room. These meetings will help in defining a more accurate and probable construction cost for the critical improvement components of the renovation. The Police Department will be undergoing a complete renovation so considerable time will be spent addressing their space needs. Staff is also looking into ways to stage this project in a way that will avoid relocating employees off site. The Police Department will need to relocate due to the total renovation in that part of the building. The overall schedule would be to complete bidding documents by the spring of 2005, with construction starting late spring to late summer with completion in approximately 7 months. Because this project involves mostly interior remodeling, a late season start may be more advantageous for receiving favorable bids. The project architect anticipates that there may be more contractor interest with a late season start. There has been a lot of employee interest in this renovation project to make City Hall a more efficient and enjoyable work environment. TRUNK HIGHWAY 10 NOISE WALL / BERM PROJECT On June 7, 2004, Ulteig Engineers presented a draft report which had draft designs and cost estimates for Phase One of the Trunk Highway 10 Noise Wall / Berm Project. Phase One starts in Ardan Park where the existing wall terminates and runs easterly past the LaPort Neighborhood to Jackson Drive. Phase one is then broken down into three segments: Segment "A", the area adjacent to Ardan Park, Segment "B", the wetland area east of Ardan Park and west of the LaPort Neighborhood, and finally Segment "C", the LaPort Neighborhood. For segment "A", the report called for extending the existing wall approximately 432 feet to the east and then tying it into a berm - at an estimated cost of $213,758.05. For segment "B", the report called for a berm - at an estimated cost of $89,177.00. For segment "C", the report called for a 15-foot high wall - at an estimated cost of $347,690.20. These were “construction costs” only and did not include engineering, administration, staff, and landscaping costs.
