City Council Regular Meeting Minutes February 10, 1998 Page 5 1 Mayor Ranallo declared the public hearing open at 7:23 P.M. 2 Bob Moberg, RCM explained that the total cost of the 1998 Street Improvement Project is 3 $700,265.17. The construction costs are $533,674.45 and the engineering and administrative 4 costs are $166,590.72. 65%of the total cost is attributable to the street construction, 25-30%to 5 the water main costs and the remainder to the sanitary storm sewer. 6 The City will pay 65% of all costs associated with the street construction. The remaining 35% 7 will be assessed to the affected homeowners. The assessment for street construction will be 8 $31.18 per lineal foot of frontage. This is $3 less than was estimated last fall at the 9 neighborhood meetings for this project. City policy is to assess the water main construction at a 16 flat fee of$400 per connection. The overall cost of the water main installation will be $191,000. 11 The 60 residents affected will be assessed $24,000 and the City will pay the remainder. 12 Of the total projects cost of$700,000, $181,000 will be assessed to property owners and the City 13 will finance the remaining $520,000 through the bonding program. 14 The anticipated schedule of the project is very similar to that of the 1997 Project on 35'Avenue 15 and Roosevelt. In that project, construction started on May 20 and between July 10 and 15 all 16 the utility work was completed and the streets were,repaved. Between July 15 and September ,l 17 the restoration work was completed. 18 Mr. Moberg displayed a copy of a bulletin which RCM will distribute door-to-door during the 19 construction process. This bulletin will include updates and provide telephone numbers of 20 primary contacts for the project. 21 Ms. Kozarek asked if RCM was coordinating this project with WSB. She questioned if this 22 project was consistent with the recommendations of the Flood Task Force. 23 Mr. Moberg stated this street reconstruction project was essentially identified at about the same 24 time that the Storm Water Task Force was first forming and has proceeded somewhat 25 independently. The storm water improvements included in this project will only replace existing 26 facilities. It is expected that projects after the 1998 Project will be coordinated with WSB. 27 Ms. Kozarek suggested it would make sense economically to coordinate WSB and RCM and to 28 reassess what is being done with the storm sewer improvements. 29 Mornson stated the two firms are coordinating. WSB's report has been submitted to RCM. In 30 this case,the project was started last June. WSB did not suggest any work be done in this 31 specific project area. 32 Cavanaugh stated it was his understanding that next year's street project will be looked at in 33 relation to the WSB report.
