SUMMARY: This project provides for the widening of the north side of Mitchell AvenUe between "B"

RECOlVIMENDATION
It is recommended that the CiB, Council, at their meeting of October 6, 1997, adopt Resolution No. 97-96
approving the plans and specifications for the Mitchell Avenue Widening Project between "B" Street and
Newport Avenue and authorizing the City Clerk to advertise for bids.
FISCAL IMPACT
The Engineer's construction estimate for this project is $73,150.00. The 1997-98 FY Capital Improvement
Program Budget allocates $65,000.00 for the construction of the Mitchell Avenue widening from CDBG
funds. Although the current Engineer's estimate indicates a shortfall of $8,150.00, the actual shortfall, if
any, xvill not be known until the bids are opened. In the event that the lowest responsive bidder's price is
above the amount budgeted for construction, funds can be transferred between project tasks with
authorization from the City Council. The fight-of-way .task is expected to end with a surplus of nearly
$60,000, which in whole, or part, can be transferred into the construction task account:
BACKGROUND
This project will widen the north side of Mitchell Avenue by several feet, beginning at Newport Avenue and
continuing approximately 30 feet north westerly of "B" Street. The new improvements will include: curb,
gutter, sidewalk, drive entrances, curb access ramps, storm drain improvements and a street light. Also
included is the removal and replacement of failed pavement areas and a complete asphalt pavement overlay.
On February 3rd and June 2nd 1997 the City Council approved the three (3) purchase agreements for part-
takes of the private property which was needed to construct the street improvements. Council had also
previously approved a total compensation of $22,900 for the purchase of the 3 portions of private property.
As of September 26, 1997, all three properties had been successfully acquired, thus providing the additional
public right-of-way necessary for construction of the proposed improvements.
