Project Cost and Funding Summary Preliminary project cost estimates have been prepared for the proposed improvements and the alternatives discussed in this report for the consideration of the Council. Project costs shown below include costs for engineering and construction inspection and administration. 20% is included in the pathway costs and 25% for bridge costs (due to high complexity of bridge construction). The following is a summary of the estimated project costs for the recommended improvements and alternatives. Item Description Bridge Improvements Option A Bridge Improvements Option B Bridge Improvements Option C Proiect Cost $ 60,000 $ 80,000 $200,000 Sidewalk Improvements (6 foot Bituminous) Sidewalk Improvements (6 foot Concrete) Sidewalk Improvements (8 foot Bituminous) Sidewalk Improvements (8 foot Concrete) $ 54,400 $ 78,700 $ 69,100 $101,500 Bridge Enhancements - Ornamental Railing Bridge Enhancements - Decorative Lighting Bridge Enhancements - Form Liner Surface Treatment Bridge Enhancements - Painting Bridge Enhancements - Six Pilasters $25,000 $10,000 $10,000 $ 5,000 $ 5,000 Sample Total Proiect Cost: Bridge Option A+ 6 ft bit walk Bridge Option B + 6 ft concrete walk + Railing Bridge Option C + 8 ft bit walk + Railing + Lighting + Form Liners $114,400 $183,700 $319,100 Proiect Fundinl!: All of the improvements described in this report are eligible to be funded out of the City's State Aid account since County Road E is designated as a County State Aid Highway. The current State Aid fund balance for Arden Hills is approximately $500,000. The project is proposed to be funded entirely from the City's State Aid funds however, the Council may elect to utilize other funding sources such as the non-assessable street fund or the general fund. Since the proposed improvements benefit the City as a whole to a greater degree than the abutting residents, the use of residential assessments to fund the improvements is not recommended. The costs shown above do not include annual maintenance costs such as snow removal and potential maintenance of bridge improvements. The Council may consider requesting Ramsey County to maintain this facility (especially bridge improvements) and requesting abutting residents to remove snow and mow along the sidewalk in lieu of City staff. 19 URS
