ATTACHMENT D Public Works Engineering City of Eugene M 858 Pearl Street EMORANDUM Eugene, Oregon 97401 (541) 682-5291 (541) 682-5032 FAX Date: January 15, 2008 To: Mayor Piercy and City Council From: Mark Schoening, 682-5243 City Engineer, Public Works Engineering Subject: Financial Plan for Funding Improvements to Crest Drive, Friendly Street and Storey Boulevard Capital Cost The total estimated capital cost to implement the conceptual design recommended by the Crest Drive Community Team (CDCT) is $5,750,000. Approximately $2,600,000 is assessable to properties abutting Crest Drive, Storey Boulevard and Friendly Street. The Morse Ranch owned by the City will have an estimated assessment of $238,000. Approximately $3,150,000 of the total cost is non- assessable and will be funded by the City. Of the $3,150,000 non-assessable cost, $1,650,000 is for street improvements and $1,500,000 is for storm drainage (conveyance and water quality) improvements. Operation and Maintenance Cost Even as unimproved streets, Crest Drive, Storey Boulevard and Friendly Street receive routine maintenance including pot-hole patching, striping, traffic sign installation and replacement, snow removal, inlet cleaning and intersection illumination. Once the streets are improved they will be added to the City’s pavement management system and included in the inventory of improved streets for future capital preservation. The most significant new cost associated with operation and maintenance is the labor, equipment and materials needed to maintain seven new medians, two new traffic circles and approximately 4,000 linear feet of water quality swales. The incremental increase in annual operation and maintenance of these facilities is estimated at $45,000. This cost will be incurred annually upon the completion of construction in FY10.
