forward with this needed pavement management plan without interfering with the redevelopment vision. In fact, investment in basic infrastructure in this area likely will leverage interest in private redevelopment. This proposed project expands sewer and water in the area and also connects Ferret Street to Bunker Lake Boulevard (new infrastructure in addition to reconstruction of existing infrastructure). City Staff has worked with Bolton and Menk to put together a phased approach that will ultimately provide a cost and preliminary design of improvements in the area. Topographical survey and soil borings are needed prior to putting together a design and cost estimate for the project. A copy of the proposal for the Topographical Survey is attached to this case. The EDA approved this expenditure at the December 9, 2021 Meeting. Once the Topographical Survey is complete, Bolton and Menk can begin work on the Engineering Services for the West Armstrong Redevelopment Area. The Proposal for Engineering Services (i.e., feasibility, preliminary design, plans and specs) for West Armstrong Redevelopment Area is attached to this case and would need City Council Approval. Staff is asking for action by the City Council to authorize Engineering Services for West Armstrong Redevelopment Area (i.e., feasibility, preliminary design, plans and specs) outlined in the Bolton and Menk proposal. Notification: Notification is not required. Observations/Alternatives: Observations: The proposal for Engineering Services for West Armstrong Redevelopment Area (Design / Plans and Specs and Updated Bunker Lake Blvd Feasibility Study) is $49,835.00. It should be noted that the Topographical Survey referenced in this proposal has been removed and is included in the $7,955.00 Topographical Survey which was already approved by the EDA. In this proposal there is also a proposed Feasibility Report Update at the line item cost of $8,160. Staff has spoken with City Engineer Bruce Westby and this feasibility update could be performed in-house by the City Engineering team if there is available staff capacity. Staff would ask for flexibility from the the City Council to fund the entire cost of the study (including the Feasibility Report Update) with the ability to reduce it if the work can be done internally. Proposal for Enineerin Services for West Armstrong Redevelopment Area (Design/Plans and Specs and Feasibility Update) - $49,835 Alternatives: 1) Adopt Resolution #21-349 Authorizing Funding and Ordering Engineering Services for West Armstrong Redevelopment Area (Designs/Plans and Feasibility Update) as presented ($49,835)(EDA Recommendation) 2) Adopt Resolution #21-349 Authorizing Funding and Ordering Engineering Services for West Armstrong Redevelopment Area (Designs/Plans and Specs) excluding the Feasibility Report Update ($41,675) 3) Something else Funding Source: Engineering Services for West Armstrong Redevelopment Area (Designs/Plans and Feasibility pdate� The funding for this action would be the PIR Fund.
