The project cost estimate outlined in the C.I.P. is $580,000. Of this project cost, $100,000 was estimated for land acquisition and $110,000 was estimated for sewer and water utility construction. The City has completed negotiations to acquire an additional site along Sunfish Lake Boulevard, identified as the Sauter property. As part of those negotiations, the City has agreed to allow Mr. Sauter to develop a portion of the Makens property. With development plans pending, the City will need to authorize the additional street and utility work south of the 143rd Avenue NW project. Ebony would be the name of the north- south street and 141s~ Avenue NW would extend to Ebony Street NW. This street and utility work would cost an additional $540,000 as estimated by Hakanson Anderson, the consulting engineer on this project. This money would be for the construction of the street and utilities necessary for the development of this property. It is staff's intent to also expand the scope of the services that would be required of Hakanson Anderson for design, inspection and surveying of the plat for this project. The cost for the additional services due to the project expansion is approximately $70,000 and is included in the $540,000. Due to the complexity of this project as it relates to right-of-way acquisitions and the timing constraints with the pending development plans by Mr. Sauter, it also is staff's intent to hire Evergreen Land Services for the right-of-way acquisition. Per a conversation with Mr. Bud Storm of Evergreen Land Services, they would be willing to work on an hourly basis with a not to exceed amount of $1,500 per parcel for City Council/July 25, 2000 Page 11 of 14
