Title
Main Street Streetscaping Project Update (B)
This item is a request to update the City Commission on the progress of the Main Street Streetscaping project and request input on some design elements.
Explanation
On April 21, 2011 the City Commission approved the reallocation of $1,616,984.73 in gas tax funds to the Main Street Streetscaping and Lighting project. These funds were savings from previous projects already constructed.
The first phase of the project will address the inadequate lighting in the corridor. The second phase will address landscaping and hardscaping elements in the corridor. An estimated $481,000 will remain for the construction of Phase 2.
This presentation will focus on the second phase of the project and will discuss the conceptual design and associated costs.
Fiscal Note
Estimated funding in the amount of $481,000 will be available from remaining gas tax funds based on the construction bid plus 15% contingency for Phase 1 of this project.
Recommendation
The City Commission: 1) approve the conceptual design of Phase 2; and 2) direct staff to proceed toward final plans.
