The preparation of plans and specifications and call of bids for construction of the local improvements are based on Council Action on April 11, 2005 pursuant to Section 7.160(5) of the Eugene Code, 1971. The City Council formed the Local Improvement District (LID) for this project on June 8, 2009. Construction of the project has been completed, final actual costs have been tabulated, and final assessment costs have been calculated. The property owners were notified of the proposed assessments and the pending assessment hearing ten (10) days prior to the hearing as required by Eugene Code. Bids were opened on May 19, 2009, with Babb Construction Co. dba Delta Const. Co. and dba Delta Concrete as the low bidder. The property owners were notified of the public hearing regarding formation of the proposed LID and a hearing was held on May 27, 2009. Additionally, on June 22, 2009 the Eugene City Council approved a plan to reduce the assessable costs on three local improvement districts that were formed in 2009. (Crest Neighborhood Street Improvement Project, the Chad Drive Extension Project and the Elmira Road/Maple Street Improvements were the LIDS that benefitted from lower construction bids and budgeted funds that could be applied to street improvements.) Chad Drive Extension (Old Coburg Rd) assessable costs were reduced by approximately $63,658 that resulted in a front —foot reduction of $1 8.54 per front foot. At that same meeting the Eugene City Council authorized modifications to the interim financing rate and the finance period. Property owners who chose City Financing will be able to finance their assessments for 10 or 15 years. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The street improvements consisted of 44 -foot wide paving (two 11 -foot wide travel lanes, a center turn lane with landscaped medians, and two 5 -foot wide bike lanes) with curbs and Findings and .Recommendations for Final Assessment — Job 3923 Page I
