Meeting Date 9/13/83
ITEM TITLE: Resolution /4 /Authorizing the expansion of the scope of
the CIP project for the improvement of Allen School Lane
between Allen S ool Rgad and Surrey Drive
SUBMITTED BY: City Engineer ��, (4/ hs Vote: Yes No X )
Director of Pub is Works Operation ,e______—
REVIEWED BY: City Manager(
Included in the CIP program is a project to complete the missing improvements
on Allen School Lane between Allen School Road and Surrey Drive (south side
only). Improvements include construction of street paving, curb and gutter,
and sidewalk. These improvements are along the school route for elementary
school children.
RECOMMENDATION: That the Council authorize the City Engineer to expand the
scope of the project to include construction of a 12' driving lane on the
north side of Allen School Lane between Allen School Road and Surrey Drive.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable.
DISCUSSION:
A review of the project site prior to finalizing the construction plans for
the improvement of Allen School Lane showed that the northerly half of the
street is deteriorating rapidly and is failing in many places. The existing
pavement appeared to be a thin layer of asphalt on the existing ground.
Rather than spend several thousands of dollars to improve the southerly half
of Allen School Lane and place a thin overlay on the deteriorating northerly
half, we are recommending that a 12' wide portion of the northerly half of the
street also be reconstructed at this time and a proper pavement section
installed. The Director of Public Works also concurs with this
recommendation. This is anticipated to increase the project cost
approximately $7,000; however, we believe it is a necessary expense.
Increasing the scope of the project will result in a 32-foot wide pavement
which matches improvements to the east. The improvements will provide for
parking along the south side of Allen School Lane and one travel lane in each
direction.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There are not sufficient funds available for construction of the improvement
of Allen School Lane in the current CIP program to construct the proposed
expanded project. The current amount budgeted for construction and
engineering expenses is $15,900. It is anticipated that the construction and

engineering expenses for the proposed project will be approximately $26,000.
Staff will request an additional appropriation of funds after receipt of bids
at the time contract is awarded by Council . This project is funded with LTF
and Gas Tax funds. Additional funds are available in the unappropriated Gas
Tax funds.
