'lJ EXHIBIT 8 JJ <br /> <br />FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS <br /> <br />SUBJECT: <br /> <br />INSTALLATION OF CURBS AND GUTTERS AND ACCESS DRIVES <br />FOR IDGHW A Y 99 (PACIFIC IDGHW A Y WEST) FROM BARGER <br />DRIVE TO ROOSEVELT BOULEVARD (CONTRACT #94-506) (JOB <br />#2728) <br /> <br />BACKGROUND <br /> <br />The overall improvement of Highway 99 from Beltline to Roosevelt Boulevard was initiated by the <br />Oregon Department of Transportation (OnOT) through its Transportation Improvement Program. <br />The City of Eugene has included the project in its Capital Improvement Program (CIP) since May, <br />1991. The City Council, through its annual adoption of the eIP, authorized staff to proceed with <br />initiation of the design and bidding of the project in accordance with Eugene City Code 7.160(5), and <br />enter into an intergovernmental agreement with the Department of Transportation regarding funding <br />and associated responsibilities. The agreement encompasses the section of Highway 99 north from <br />Beltline to Roosevelt. This project was divided into two phases. Phase one was from Beltline to <br />Barger and was more rural in character. No assessments were levied for the phase one section. <br />Phase two was from Barger to Roosevelt, which is more urbanized and includes construction of curbs <br />and gutters, sidewalks, landscaping, signals, lighting, and some median islands. <br /> <br />The City Council formed the Local Improvement District (LID) for the Phase two area on March 7, <br />1994. The project has been completed and final assessment costs have been calculated. <br /> <br />PRO.JECT <br /> <br />The assessable portion of the improvement included approximately 17,750 linear feet of curbs and <br />gutters, 10,900 square yards of sidewalk, and 3,830 square yards of concrete driveways. <br /> <br />ASSESSMENT <br /> <br />Under City of Eugene assessment policy, improvement costs for the concrete sidewalk, driveways, <br />and curbs and gutters will be distributed to the abutting property owners. OnOT and Lane County <br />have financed pavement restoration, landscaping, lighting and traffic signal improvements. The <br />balance of the cost of the improvements has been financed by the City. Below are the final unit <br />assessable costs. <br /> <br />Sidewalk/Curbs/Gutters/Dri vew ay <br /> <br />$35.00/front foot <br /> <br />Prior to construction, at the LID hearing, the property owners were given an estimate of the assessable <br />unit costs, which was that the assessable cost was not to exceed $35.00 per front foot. <br /> <br />INSTALLA TION OF CURBS AND GUTTERS, SIDEWALKS AND ACCESS DRIVES FOR HIGHWAY 99 <br />FROM BARGER DRIVE TO ROSSEVELT BOULEVARD FINAL ASSESSMENT PAGE 1 <br />
