Purpose/Background:
The Public Works Committee held its regular meeting on January 16, 2018 and discussed the following cases:
1. North Commons Neighborhood Trail or Street Link at Zeolite Street: Parks and Assistant Public Works Superintendent Riverblood reviewed the staff report and stated that the purpose of this case is to assess the Committee’s opinion on the development of a short trail segment to link an existing neighborhood to The COR west of North Commons. He displayed a location map and reported the Park & Recreation Commission recommended that the trail concept be pursued. He explained this short trail link could advance for Council consideration in terms of a mailer for public notification. While the project scope is not fully developed at this time, it is estimated the cost may be less than $30,000 for the bituminous trail, ADA pedestrian ramps, and trees with naturalized pollinator landscape. Motion to ratify the recommendation of the Public Works Committee
to recommend that the City Council notify public via a mailer to gain input on development of a short trail segment to link an existing neighborhood to The COR west of North Commons.
2. Recommend Authorization for Civil Engineering Planning Services for Highway 10 Planning Effort: Community Development Director Gladhill reviewed the staff report and stated that the purpose of this case is to consider recommending that the City Council authorize a work order with Bolton and Menk to perform planning and engineering services related to future Highway 10 design. He stated staff is only seeking approval for Phase 1 (project justification, concepts, evaluation) not Phase II (vision refinement, preliminary design, funding). He explained that staff has already completed three rounds of refining the scope and scaled back on renderings/visualizations, public meetings, and communication assistance. Staff described the scale and magnitude of the project, noting it is a significant investment with total capital costs of the improvements themselves being over $70 million.Staff presented alternatives for the Committee’s consideration and stated staff recommends proceeding forward with the work order. Motion to ratify the recommendation of the Public Works Committee to recommend that the City Council authorize the work order with Bolton and Menk for Highway 10 Planning and Design Services in the amount of $499,855, contingent upon staff sharing the information with the coalition.
