BACKGROUND The project design and bidding was initiated as a result of a Poll Petition by the City in November 2003. The petition requesting the local improvement district was signed by property owners who represent 71% of the assessable frontage within the boundaries of the proposed Local Improvement District (LID). The City Engineer initiated the preparation of plans and specifications, pursuant to Section 7.160(8) of the Eugene Code, 1971 on February 20, 2004. The project has brought Debrick Road up to full City standards and meets the current and future pedestrian, bicycle and vehicular needs. Bids were opened on June 21, 2005, with Babb Construction Co. dba Delta Construction Co. as the low bidder. Property owners were notified of a public hearing regarding formation of the proposed LID and the public hearing was held on June 23, 2005. The City Council passed a resolution forming the Local Improvement District (LID) on July 18, 2005. Construction of the project has been completed, final actual costs have been tabulated, and final assessment costs have been calculated. Based on the low bid received, the costs listed below were the estimated assessment costs calculated at the time of the formation of the LID. L:\CMO\2006 Council Agendas\M060508\S0605083.doc
