Mayor Fauson closed the Public Hearing and moved <br />that Ordinance #882, Series 1986, be adopted. <br />Mohr seconded. By roll call vote, Ordinance #882 <br />Series 1986, was adopted unanimously. <br />AUTHORIZATION TO OBTAIN BIDS - <br />SOUTH BOULDER ROAD PROJECT <br />Phare explained that the plans and specification <br />for the South Boulder Road project are nearly <br />complete. This project includes "4-laning" and <br />provides left-turn lanes and bike lanes on South <br />Boulder Road from Via Appia to McCaslin B1vd.The <br />current schedule anticipates having the plans and <br />specifications ready for the next Council meeting <br />and therefore, it is advisable to obtain construc- <br />tion bids as soon as possible in order to keep the <br />project on schedule. Once bids are received and <br />analyzed, staff will come back to Council for bid <br />award. <br />Szymanski asked when the project would be <br />complete. Phare anticipates 120 day construction <br />contract and that could be 6 weeks away from <br />commencement. This portion of South Boulder Road <br />would not be landscaped at this time for budgetary <br />reasons. The portion of South Boulder Road than <br />currently does not have medians would not be <br />included in this project. As far as traffic is <br />concerned, this will provide a full pavement <br />cross-section for traffic, bicycles and <br />pedestrians. <br />Mohr questioned what the total projected cost for <br />this phase would be. Including engineering and <br />management fees, the projected cost is slightly <br />over $1 million, Phare noted. <br />Hundley stated that it is not uncommon to be <br />"wrapping up" minor details at the time staff <br />is asking for Counci_1 approval to obtain bids. <br />Phare explained that signalization is a separate <br />project due to the fact the City is utilizing <br />Federal Aid Urban Secondary Funds to offset most <br />of the cost. The signalization project would come <br />approximately a month after the completion of the <br />street paving. <br />Anderson asked if sound barriers were a <br />consideration in the project. Phare explained <br />that the landscaping has been left out. When the <br />actual bids come in, Phare would want to take all <br />things into consideration before making any type <br />of commitments at this time. <br />5 <br />
