BACKGROUND:
On June 18, 2002 this Board adopted Resolution Nos. 065329 and 065330, which established minimum road standard options and a priority list for road improvements in the North Fair Oaks area, respectively.
DISCUSSION:
8th Avenue from Middlefield Road to Edison Way and 16th Avenue from end to 772 16th Avenue are the next streets on the North Fair Oaks area road priority list to be considered for reconstruction. The Department of Public Works surveyed all property owners along the streets to determine the minimum road standards to be used in the design of the road improvements. The road standards to be used for 8th and 16th Avenues (two 9-foot wide travel lanes with 2-foot wide valley gutters on each side of the road) are based on the results of the property owner survey. Fair Oaks Avenue is on the priority list with 2-foot wide valley gutters constructed when adjacent streets on the priority list are reconstructed. Valley gutters on each side of Fair Oaks Avenue between 15th and 16th Avenues will be installed as part of this Project.
The Fair Oaks Sewer Maintenance District has requested that work involving affected sanitary sewer improvements be performed in conjunction with this Project. Including this work as part of the Project will minimize disruption to the residents and property owners. The plans and specifications for the work have now been prepared and staff is recommending that this Board authorize calling for bids for the proposed work.
County Attorney has reviewed and approved the resolution as to form.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The estimated construction cost of the Project is $4,900,000. The Project will be financed as follows:
*Reimbursement for the cost of performing work for the Fair Oaks Sewer Maintenance District will be through individual agreements with the utility companies as authorized by this Board.
There is no impact to the General Fund.
