RE: Main Street Streetscape
RECOMMENDATION: Approve the proposal as outlined in the
letter dated January 15, 199 and
authorize the Mayor to execute an
engineering agreement with Baxter &
Woodman, Inc.
As the City Council is aware, it is planned in fiscal year 1999/2000, to
budget for improvements to Main Street in the business district between
Route 31 on the east, and the railroad tracks on the west.
This year, Baxter & Woodman was hired to investigate storm drainage
problems on Main Street and recommend improvements where needed.
This work has been completed. It is anticipated these modifications will be
done in conjunction with the Streetscape improvements.
In discussing this project with Baxter & Woodman, they consider this
project a prime candidate to receive federal money through the
Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21). The program
calls for a 20% cost sharing by the recipient.
Staff believes this is a good opportunity to expand the project and greatly
enhance the aesthetic quality of the area using federal money. The project
scope is explained in detail in the enclosed letter from John Ambrose of
Baxter & Woodman. This proposal does not include final engineering, but
rather, preparation and submittal of the application for funding through
the TEA-21 Program, and preliminary engineering on the project.
In the future, Baxter & Woodman will submit a proposal for final
engineering that would include preparation of bid documents. The cost of
this work is dependent upon the scope of the project, and until the results
of our request for funding are known, this proposal cannot be finalized.
John Ambrose will be in attendance to discuss the project.
