Agenda - Public Works Committee - 06/18/2013

Home

• Functional class = collector • Traffic volumes = < 2,000 ADT (450 to 1,250 ADT in 2009) • Design speed = 30 mph • Parking = one side only (opposite on -road bike lane) The 2013 estimated costs to reconstruct Andrie Street and 164th Lane using the design originally proposed in 2008, excluding concrete sidewalks, is $1,620,000. For comparison purposes, the estimated cost in 2008 was $1,270,00. These costs do not include indirect costs for engineering, administration, financing and legal costs, which typically add about another 20% to the project costs. The 2013 estimated costs to reconstruct Andrie Street and 164th Lane adding a 5 foot wide on -road bicycle lane is $1,740,000. Again, these costs do not include indirect costs for engineering, administration, financing and legal costs, which typically add about another 20% to the project costs. The difference in estimated 2013 costs between the original design and the design utilizing an on -road bicycle lane is roughly $120,000 based on preliminary estimates. Alternatives - Alternative #1 - Provide a recommendation to Council directing staff to update the 2008 Feasibility Report based on the original 2008 street reconstruction design (excludes sidewalks). This option should be chosen if the Public Works Committee feels the project should not include sidewalks or other pedestrian facilities. Alternative #2 - Provide a recommendation to Council directing staff to revise the 2008 Feasibility Report to reflect the inclusion of on -road bicycle lanes, in place of sidewalks. This option should be chosen if the Public Works Committee feels the project should not include sidewalks but should include an on -road bicycle lane as an alternate pedestrian facility. Alternative #3 — Motion of other, or do nothing. Funding Source: At this time there are not sufficient funds in the MSA account to fund any of the improvements. As such, funding would need to be provided using special assessments, bonds, adoption of a franchise fee, or a combination thereof. In other words, the City should consider the long-term comprehensive street reconstruction funding program prior to ordering this project. However, if alternative #1 or #2 is chosen, no funds would need to be committed at this time and staff would have additional time to complete the long-term street reconstruction funding program as required to address the funding shortage for these improvements while completing revisions to the Feasibility Study. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approving alternative #1 or #2. Action: Approve alternative #1, #2 or #3.
