Meridian Road Project Report-Peccia
Peccia & Associates have completed field work, preliminary design
options, and preliminary cost estimates. The staff has been
involved with the project throughout the process. There have been
concerns about the options in terms of engineering and costs. The
initial costs are considerably different, however, they are quite
different in providing the basic transportation, safety, and
efficiency.
Option 1 will be a combination of a two/three lanes with turning
lanes at a preliminary estimated cost of $3.1 million for the
street improvements.
094 -.

There would be additional cost of approximately $500,000 of City
share of storm sewer improvements. A total project of $3.6 million
would be the result.
Option 2 will be four lanes with turning lanes at a preliminary
estimate of $3.6 million for the street improvements plus the
$500,000 for storm sewer improvements resulting in a total project
of $4.1 million.
The current level of funding for the STP federal funds is
approximately $1.5 million, with a projected annual amount of
funding of $200,000 to $225,000. (The federal funding levels have
been reduced by approximately 17%.)

500,000 In addition to the street construction
cost, add an additional (non inflation
factored) $500,000 from other funds -
enterprise and a long term debt.
The additional problem with the funding will be the allocation of
funds through the T.A.C. Committee. The T.A.C. committee plans for
and allocates the federal funds for the county. These priorities
are set throughout the state for the limited funds in the state
pool. If all of the other cities are proceeding with these
projects and expenditures, the City will not be able to "borrow
ahead". If the other cities are not using their funds, then the
City may get additional funds from the pool for this project.
This would prohibit the City from using State/Federal funds for
future improvements until the City has "caught -up" with the
allocation that the City "borrow ahead". This would mean that for
9-10 years there would be no other projects funded from federal
funds.
It is apparent that due to the scope of this project, the City:
1. cannot fund the street construction solely
from STP funds unless the "pool" is open for
the City;
2. cannot fund the storm sewer improvements from funds
on hand or projected since the City has operations
within this budget; and
3. may not be able to complete the project
without bonding in amount of $2 million plus.
Donahue moved to adopt Alternative 1. The motion was seconded.
There was discussion.
Atkinson arrived at the meeting.
The motion carried with a vote.

utility location. The actual work performed by the subcontractor
