In the case of R &S 53 (revised), R &S 60 and R &S 61, previous appropriations and project progress are noted. For those projects which have or will utilize the services of a consultant, said firm is identified. Please note that nearly all figures quoted here- in reflect estimates of costs. R & S 53 - Sample Street, Olive to Chapin $ 200,000 00 Design by Murphy Engineering, Inc. Design has been completed and has been submitted to the State Highway Com- mission for their review and approval. The State must hold public hearings on the Environmental Impact and Design of the project. Once held and if approved, the City will then be allowed to pursue the necessary right -of- way purchases. The attached appropriation reflects the estimate of the Members of the Common Council February 7, 1979 page 2. R & S 53 - Sample Street, Olive to Chapin (continued) Acquisition costs, namely $200,000.00. Construction funds reflecting the City's 30% match to programmed Federal Funds will be appropriated at a later date, once right -of -way acquisition has been initiated. R & S 60 - Orange /Colfax Connector $ _3051000.00 Design by Cole Associates An additional sum of $13,000.00 is required to pay the cost of the revisions to the plans and environmental reports which resulted from the utilization of the recently acquired South Shore right -of -way which lies between Colfax Street and LaPorte Avenue. An additional sum of $12,000.00 is required to address the cost of final right -of -way acquisition. The City's 30% of the construction costs shall be addressed by the balance of the requested appropriation, namely $280,000.00 - plus the previously appropriated $200,000.00 in C.D. Funds. R & S 61 - Michigan Street /Main Street Connector 200,000 00 Design by Murphy Engineering, Inc. Engineering plans are completed and presently under review by the State Highway. An additional amount of $70,152.00 is estimated to be required to complete the necessary right -of -way acquisition. An additional amount of $129,848.00 is estimated to be required to address the cost of construction. Construction will commence immediately upon completion of right -of -way acquisition. R & S 7903 - Ireland Road, Fellows to U.S. 31 83,500.00 To be designed by K.Kaser Associates In order to relieve an extremely conjested traffic problem along Ireland Road which has resulted from the recent development of numerous retail and commercial facilities, it is proposed that this section of Ireland Road be widened to five (5) lanes. All related fees are included in the $83,500.00 estimate. R & S 7904 - Ironwood to Pleasant 106,600.00 To be designed by City Engineering Dep t. The present intersection at Ironwood and Pleasant is not of sufficient capacity to address current traffic demands. Recently approved commercial developments at this location, plus the additional traffic to be detoured to Ironwood Road during the reconstruction of the Twyckenham Bridge will serve to further aggravate this situation. Widening and improved channeli- zation,together with new traffic signals are proposed with this $106,600.00 request. Members of the Common Council February 7, 1979 page 3. R & S 7905 - Lincoln Way East and Twyckenham Drive $ 110,000 00 To be designed by Clyde E. Williams & Assoc, The present intersection at Lincoln Way East and Twyckenham Drive is presently not of sufficient capacity to address current traffic demands. Approval of this request will allow the City to pursue the improvement of this intersec- tion via widening, channelization and signalization, in conjunction with the County's Projects. This $110,000 reflects the estimated cost of engineer- ing and 30% of the estimated cost of construction. R & S 7906 - Miami Street Viaduct Lowerinq 220,000 00 To be designed by Lawson - Fisher Associates The present viaduct on Miami Street is severely restricted with respect to clearance height. This restriction limits the usage of Miami Street by trucks and related vehicles. The demand for additional clearance will be even greater during the closing of Twyckenham Drive for the bridge reconstruct- ion. Improvements similar to those completed in 1973 on the Main Street viaduct between South Street and Bronson Street are anticipated. The estimate for the cost of engineering and construction is $220,000.00. Should you have any questions or require additional information, please contact me at your earliest convenience.
