EUGENE HEARINGS OFFICIAL FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS SUBJECT: PAVING, CURBS, GUTTERS, STORM SEWERS, AND STREET LIGHTING CONDUIT ON THE WEST SIDE OF BAILEY HILL ROAD FROM STEWART ROAD TO 7TH AVENUE. (JOB #3557) BACKGROUND This project was initiated as a result of a property owner submitting an "Irrevocable Petition" as a condition of land division (Sections 9.033(3) and 9.040(3)), that has occurred on the west side of Bailey Hill Road. The property was divided into three parcels, two of which have new owners. At the time of the division of the property, the property owner was advised that the west side of Bailey Hill Road, between Stewart Road and 7th Avenue, was scheduled for improvement, probably in 1997. At that time, the property owner was advised that he could privately engineer the proposed improvements. The owner choose not to privately engineer the improvements at that time. All three properties are currently in the process of being developed. City staff contacted all three owners to determine if they wished to jointly build the proposed street improvements privately as a public improvement, or through the local improvement process. Two of the three chose to use the Local Improvement District (LID) approach. Staff proceeded with the initiation of the LID, which was supported by the majority of the property owners and property frontage, as the location of the property and the needs of the other property owners made it impractical to allow one property owner to proceed with the private construction option. Development is underway, or will begin shortly on the other two properties. The petition represents property that will pay 100 percent of the assessable cost for the proposed LID. The City Engineer initiated the project, as provided for in the Eugene Code 7.160(8), on May 30, 1997. The City Engineer originally estimated the project cost at $113,000. Affected property owners were notified of the pending LID hearing ten (10) days prior to the hearing as required by Municipal Code. The project was advertised on July 9, 1997, and bids were opened July 22, 1997. The City received three (3) bids for this improvement project. The low bid was submitted by Wildish Construction in the amount of $106,740.50. The high bid was $126,851.00. The total project cost is estimated to be $159,000.65. PROJECT The project involves construction of the West side of Bailey Hill Road, which will widen it from 30- feet to 66-feet, and will include the construction of 725 feet of 36-foot paving, curb, gutter, storm sewers, and street lighting conduit. ASSESSMENT Costs listed below are the estimated assessment costs calculated from the low bid: 22' Paving $ 101.00/front foot Cost to City: $94,676.20 (nonassessable width, street lighting/traffic signal conduit, and storm sewer) Findings and Recommendations - Job #3557 Page 1
