The Industrial Corridor has a unique urban geography as the result of the parallel northwest- southeast orientation of three highways and two railroads serving the area. There are several parcels of long and narrow dimension. Properties in the Industrial Corridor are currently served by individual on-site sewage disposal systems under permits from Lane County pursuant to rules and regulations of the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality. There is a mixture of land uses in the Industrial Corridor, although the primary use is industrial. Most of the property in the Industrial Corridor is designated for industrial uses in the Metro Plan. It is the desire of the City that all properties in the Industrial Corridor be annexed to the City by 2010 and serviced by the City (local) and Metropolitan Wastewater Management Commission (regional) sewer system by 2000. Both parties recognized that new development in the Industrial Corridor area should be connected to any available City sewer system at the time of development and receipt of a building permit. Project Description The project includes the installation of 4151-feet of gravity sewer pipe from Beltline Road to Kaiser Avenue. No further extensions will occur to serve properties to the north of Kaiser Avenue; they will be served from a system in Irvington Drive (see attached Exhibit "D" & "H"). As of this date six (6) property owners within the proposed project limits have signed annexation agreements and support the extension of the service. These owners represent ten (10) individual parcels of land and approximately 21 % of the project cost that can be assessed. Staff has received additional support for the project from six (6) more property owners. This information was obtained from a post card mail in campaign and follow up telephone conversations with property owners. This represents an additional 20% of the project cost that can be assessed (see attached Exhibit "L"). Bidding Results Three (3) bidders submitted bids for the 1997 construction project. The low bid was submitted by Eugene Sand & Gravel, Inc. (see attached summaries Exhibit "E"). Staff has throughly reviewed the low bid and have concluded it is acceptable. The low bid is' higher than the engineers estimate but this is attributable to ground water and depth of construction issues. As with previous local improvement districts (LIDs) within the RR/SC area, local wastewater systems development charges (SDCs) will be imposed and collected at the same time as the assessments for the 1997 LID. There are two sanitary SDC components: a local charge to reimburse .the City for its cost to construct major sanitary sewer collection facilities; and the regional charge required by the Metropolitan Wastewater Management commission (MWMC). Revenues from the local charge will be deposited to the City's sanitary sewer user fund and revenues from the regional charge will be transferred to MWMC. Authority to collect in this manner is outlined in Eugene Code (EC) 7.720(1)(c). These fees are subject to change. The Page 2
