Title
SW 13th Street Bus Shelter (NB)
Explanation
At the August CPUH advisory board meeting, the members approved the Landscape Forms Kaleidoscope bus shelter and Plexus bench for three test sites in the redevelopment area. Staff then presented the CPUH recommendation to the CRA board on August 18, 2008. The CRA authorized staff to pursue only the SW 13th Street test site at the Oakbrook Walk development. A private developer contributed $25,000 to fund this shelter and it was anticipated that no CRA funds would be needed. RTS now estimates that the concrete pad and retaining wall cost has increased to approximately $18,000. A 3 post Kaleidoscope (2 bays) and the Plexus backless bench (3 seat) with 2 arms is estimated to cost approximately $13,880. With only $25,000 available from RTS, a $7,000 funding gap exists for the construction of this project. RTS has requested that CPUH provide funding to bridge the gap. CPUH reviewed this item on December 3, 2008 and approved the funding.
The CRA project number is CPUH-09.04-SC-9999.
Fiscal Note
Funding is available in the CPUH Primary Corridors - SW 13th Street Bus Shelters account 618-W749-W86. The total available budget in this account is $60,000.00.
Recommendation
CRA Executive Director to the CRA: Approve funding the actual cost of the bus shelter and bench installation over $25,000 from the private developer, not to exceed $7,000.
