He said this base and surface has been used throughout, the city with favorable results. There will be a one-year maintenance bond by the contractor at the time of construction; therefore, if there are any maintenance problems within the year following construction, they would'be taken care of by the contractor. The estimated costs of the project are $37,975 for bituminous surfacing, $17,600 for Class V Gravel, $8,725 for Grading and Widening, and $13,000 for restoration and culvert cleaning. $77,300 is the estimated construction cost, plus contingencies, engineering g administrative costs of $19,325 for a total estimated cost for street improvement of $96,625. It is proposed to assess the project using a unit basis. The cost is divided between 52 units for a total of $1,858.17 per unit. At 10% interest for 10 years, the annual unit cost is $302.51. Mayor Gamec said the closest time the city is looking at putting in sewer & water in this area is possibly 15 years, but with possible pollution problems, it could come sooner. Mayor Gamec said construction would start at approximately the end of July or the first of August. Public Hearing June 16, 1980 Page 1
