Home Browse Search

at North Game Farm Road. The project will improve safety for all modes of transportation, provide stormwater quality treatment and improve drainage conveyance. Bids were opened on May 19, 2009, with Babb Construction Company, d.b.a. Delta Construction Company and dba Delta Concrete as the apparent low bidder. Ten bids were received with the low bid approximately 33 percent below the Engineer’s Estimate. The property owners of the 13 properties that would be included in the LID were notified of the pending LID hearing ten (10) days prior to the hearing as required by Eugene Code. The LID formation hearing was held on May 27, 2009, to review the bid information, confirm whether the LID should be formed and to identify any special conditions that should be included in the resolution forming the LID. Four people representing three properties attended the hearing (see Hearings Official’s Minutes). One property owner submitted a remonstrance (4% of the assessable frontage), but that property is subject to an irrevocable petition. Financial and/or Resource Considerations Based on the low bid received, the costs listed below are the total estimated costs plus contingency for the local improvement district. Paving 10-foot (per front foot) $116.11 Paving 7-foot (per front foot) $81.28 Sidewalk and drive aprons (per square foot) $6.17 Wastewater (per square foot) $0.41 Wastewater service (per each) $3,317.45 Total Estimated Assessable Cost $ 635,963.37 Total Estimated City Cost: w/o Low Income Subsidy: $ 1,830,375.50 Total Estimated Project Cost $ 2,466,338.87 The non-assessable City share for this project will be funded from Transportation SDC’s, Stormwater SDC’s and Federal Transportation Funds through the Surface Transportation Program-Urban (STP-U) funds. The non-assessable costs the City will pay for include additional width of paving, intersections, medians, bike lanes, street lights, traffic signals, and non-assessable storm drainage system costs. Assessments will be levied following the completion of construction. Following the levy of assessments, a 10-year payment plan through the City, is available to all property owners within the improvement district as identified by Eugene Code, Chapter 7. Two property owners responded to the notification regarding the availability of the Low-to-Moderate Income Street Improvement Subsidy program. At this time it appears that two owners qualify for this program. If the project goes forward, there will be one more opportunity for property owners to apply for the program at the time of final assessment, currently estimated to be in early 2010. RELATED CITY POLICIES The Municipal Charter, Chapter IX - Public Improvements provides the regulatory framework for public improvement procedures and assessments. The Eugene Code, Chapter 7 – Public Improvements prescribes the process for the initiation of an assessment project, formation of a local improvement district, and computation and allocation of assessments to benefiting properties.
