Summary:
Summary
The City will be constructing roadway and culvert improvements on 102nd Avenue North at its Public Works Facility. The roadway in this area crosses Cross Bayou Canal.
As part of the improvements, the existing culverts will be re-sized to allow passage of non-motorized boats while meeting County drainage criteria. The existing culverts within the Canal, which is maintained by the County, will be removed and replaced with culverts that may be navigated by small non-motorized boats in conjunction with the City proposed roadway and culvert replacement.
Construction:
• Construction costs are estimated at $800,000.00. The County will pay fifty percent (50%) of the anticipated $800,000.00, which is $400,000.00.
• City must seek approval by the County for any cost overrun above the total construction estimate of $800,000.00. Furthermore, as part of the JPA, an amendment to the Agreement is required if the County’s share of the construction costs exceed $700,00.00.
Engineering Services:
• The County will pay an amount not to exceed of $62,952.85 for engineering design and $7,500.00 for construction post design services. Therefore, the County will be responsible for paying engineering costs up to $70,452.85 for design and post design services.
The total not to exceed amount provided to the City by the County for construction, design and post design services is $470,452.85.
