Subject: PROPOSED STREETS REPAVING PROGRAM - 2012

Discussion

In 2006 & 2009 the Public Works Department successfully completed two much needed repaving projects which encompassed (9) streets totaling 3.45 miles. The majority of these streets were originally paved in 1983/84 era.

We are again proposing a 2012 Repaving Project which will include another (4) streets which also were originally paved in 1983/84 and (2) streets that were originally paved in 1991/93. We will also, as requested by Port & Harbor, include the paving of Ice Dock Road and the pavement extension of Fish Dock Road.

Project Costs Estimates

A. Streets Repaving: $542,225 (includes design, admin and construction costs)
B. Port/Harbor Paving: $339,725 (includes design, admin and construction costs)
Total Combined Project: $881,950

Attached please find two spreadsheets with detailed project costs estimates.

Recommendation

1. Expend an amount “not to exceed” $900,000.00 this fiscal year from the H.A.R.P. fund for the design & construction to include grinding of existing asphalt and repave the streets and Port/Harbor work as identified on the attached spreadsheets.

Fiscal Note

Currently the HARP Fund contains approximately $5.19 million dollars as of end of year 2011.
