SUMMARY
Staff has updated the cost to support design, construction, inspection, and construction management for the development of Concept 1 of the Main Street complete streets project. The current cost is approximately $5.1 million ($4.4 million construction cost) and includes a 5% contingency. The grant that funds the project provides approximately $1.7 million. Thus, there is a budget shortfall of approximately $3.4 million.
The Safe Routes for Seniors (SR4S) project is currently contemplating improving the intersections of A Street and Main Street, and C Street and Main Street, among other intersections in the Downtown. Staff is proposing to construct these two intersections as part of the Main Street Project, with funding, currently estimated at $1M, paid for by the SR4S project. This will reduce the budget shortfall to $2.2M. Staff recommends limiting the scope of the project as outlined in the report to further reduce the cost.
