Background
Flowerfield Road, which lies within the corporate boundaries of both the City of Lexington and the City of Blaine, has exceeded its service life and has deteriorated to a point where it is difficult to maintain in a drivable condition and needs to be reconstructed.
The proposed joint project between the City of Lexington and the City of Blaine will reconstruct Flowerfield Road from Lake Drive to Lexington Avenue. The work will consist of reclaiming the existing bituminous pavement, spot concrete curb and gutter replacement, installation of new concrete curb and gutter where not already present, minor storm sewer improvements, aggregate base, installation of new bituminous pavement and appurtenant construction.
The estimated total cost of the project is $656,060.00. The estimated cost split is $347,660 for the City of Lexington and $308,400 for the City of Blaine. The City of Blaine costs are proposed to be funded by approximately $107,650 assessed to benefitting properties over a 10 year period and the remaining portion of approximately $200,750 to be paid from the City's Pavement Management Program Fund. The project is necessary, cost-effective, feasible, and will result in a benefit for the properties proposed to be assessed.
Recommendation
By motion, adopt the resolution.
