PROBLEM/ISSUE STATEMENT
Colton Boulevard is platted but not constructed between Zimmerman Trail and 38th Street West. Colton Boulevard and 38th Street West are classified as Collector Streets on the Functional Classification Map. SID 1382 will construct Colton Boulevard between 38th Street West and Zimmerman Trail. The western section will be fully constructed with curb and gutter, water, storm drain, and multi-use path on the south side. This full section will be from 38th Street West to the undeveloped section south of Colton. Fronting the undeveloped farm land south of Colton, the street will be constructed to 26 feet wide. The rest of the section will be constructed with development of the land south of it. There are a total of 139 properties within the district boundary. Seventeen (17) of the properties front Colton Boulevard, and these improvements are necessary in order for development of the lots. The remaining properties are located south of Colton Boulevard to Grand Avenue in Village West Subdivision, Village West Subdivision 2nd Filing, and Hancock-Grand Subdivision. The subdivision improvements agreement for these subdivisions requires these properties to participate in the cost of constructing Colton Boulevard. In addition to creating the SID, Mayor and Council are asked to consider authorizing and executing a Contract for Professional Services with Kadrmas, Lee & Jackson, Inc. to provide engineering design and construction administration for SID 1382. The contract is in the amount of $162,780.00. Kadrmas, Lee & Jackson, Inc. was selected based on proposals requested from a shortlist of prequalified consultants for this type of work.
ALTERNATIVES ANALYZED
The Council may:
• After holding a public hearing, approve the Resolution Creating SID 1382 and the Professional Services Contract with Kadrmas, Lee & Jackson, Inc.; or
• After holding a public hearing, do not approve the Resolution Creating SID 1382 and the Professional Services Contract with Kadrmas, Lee & Jackson. If the Resolution is not approved, Colton will not be constructed next year. If the contract is not approved, staff will need to re-evaluate options to design the project.
