(Local Road Funds) (District IV) [CDD-CP# 07- 37] Project No.: 0662-6U4077 DATE: March 11, 2008 PAGE: 2 of 2 FISCAL, IMPACT: There is no impact to the County General.Fund. The estimatedproject cost is$2,200,000 which will be funded by Local Road Funds (100%). REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS AND BACKGROUND: The project consists of the repair, maintenance, and minor alteration of existing public facilities involving no expansion of use beyond previously existing conditions. The purpose of the project is to remove and replace the failed rubberized asphalt overlay covering Treat Boulevard (approximately 3,170 feet in length ) to improve structural integrity and ride quality on Treat Boulevard. In addition,the project will bring all curb ramps within the project area tip to Americans with Disabilities Act(ADA) standards. The repair of the existing rubberized asphalt overlay consists of minor pavement grinding down to 0.2 ft over the entire area,the reconstruction of substandard curb ramps where needed, a 0.2 It pavement overlay with conventional asphalt concrete, striping installation, and pavement marking along the entire project length (3,170 feet). Any affected utility covers, monument lids, and manhole covers will be adjusted to finish grade. A pedestrian island will be reconstructed with new ADA standard curb ramps and retrofitted with detectable warning surfaces. To alleviate any possible traffic disruption,schools,residents,and local businesses will be notified about the project a minimum of one month in advance of construction. In addition, a press release will be run in local newspapers detailing the construction hours and dates at least one week prior to construction. Once construction begins, additional traffic control measures will be implemented to alleviate potential traffic disruption including using flaggers, signage, clear traffic delineation and possibly k-rail around the pedestrian island reconstruction. The contractor will also notify local emergency response services of the project prior to initiation, and provide at least two passable lanes in both directions at all times during constriction. Work will only occur in non-commute directions during the hours of 7:00 am to 5:00 pm, and all construction. activities will switch when necessary to the non-commute direction; ensuring no obstruction to commute traffic during commute hours. Work will start in the morning on the non-commute side of the roadway,then beginning at approximately 3pm,all debris and construction related equipment will be removed from the construction areas and shifted to the opposite side of the roadway before the commute changes directions to ensure all lanes are open in the commute direction.In addition,construction activities will be confined to a maximum of two lanes in one direction at any given time. No tree removal will be necessary. In order to minimize damage to any nearby trees, any roots exposed during excavation will be cut cleanly, and tree branches will be trimmed as necessary. Real property transactions, including right-of-way acquisition and temporary construction easements may be necessary in support of this project. Utility relocations may be.necessary in support of the project. CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION: Delay in approving the project will result in a delay of design and construction and may jeopardize funding.
