Subject:
Vierling Drive Utility Extension Project 2017-10 between County Highway 69 and Taylor Street.
Policy/Action Requested:
Approve plans and order advertisement for bids for the Vierling Drive Utility Extension Project 2017-10.
Recommendation:

Approval of the action requested.

Discussion:

The 2017-2021 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) includes the Vierling Drive project between County Highway 69 and Taylor Street for the construction of street, utility, sidewalk and trailway improvements. This project is needed to provide access to the adjacent parcels and to complete this missing segment of the east-west collector street, Vierling Drive.

 

The project was programmed for 2017; however, only the utility portion of the project is being advanced at this time in an effort to provide the availability for the utility connections to adjacent pending developments yet in 2017. It is expected that the roadway portion of the project will follow in the spring of 2018.

 

The plans for the Vierling Drive utility extension project are advanced (see attached plan sheets) and the project is ready to proceed with public bid solicitation. The current estimate for the total project cost including both roadway and utility work is $1,500,000 (see attached 2018 CIP sheet).

Budget Impact:

This project is being funded through the Capital Improvement Fund and with the proceeds from the sale of the adjacent city-owned property. Additionally, the roadway improvements could partially qualify for Local Road Improvement Program funds from the State that are currently being applied for.
