The existing curb along Red Fox Road, Grey Fox Road and Northwoods Drive is a 6" barrier design, We recommend the use of 6" barrier curb as it is currently in place throughout the project area and is generally preferred by City maintenance staff. Sections of curb and gutter along Red Fox Road and Grey Fox Road have either sunk or are broken up and are causing water to pond in these areas, The curb and gutter at thcse trouble spots will be removed and replaced as part ofthis project. Although the cost of curb spot repairs is more expensive than removing the entire curb and replacing with a curb machine, the most cost effective means for this project appears to be the spot repair method based upon the quantities of curb identified in the field, The estimated cost for spot repairs along the curb is approximately $30 per linear foot and the cost for removing and replacing the curb by machine is approximately $16 per linear foot. The total amount of curb that has been identified for replacement is approximately 2700 linear feet, which equates to an estimated cost of $81,000, Removing and reconstructing the entire 9200 linear feet of curb along Red Fox Road and Grey Fox Road would equate to an estimated cost of $147,200. The economic comparison clearly indicates that the spot repair method is the most cost effective option in this case, RIGHT-OF - WAY DISCUSSION Based on our review of county property records and field survey, we have determined that a parcel along the northern half of Grey Fox Road is currently under pri vate ownership. As a part of the project, we recommend that the City acquire this parcel in order to complete the right-of- way along Grey Fox Road. The existing roadway is partially located in this parcel and has been functioning as a public street since its initial construction. Exhibit Al illustrates the right-of-way acquisition parcel. No other right-of-way is anticipated to be acquired for roadway purposes, however, some drainage easement may be necessary to bc acquired along the TH51 Frontage Road in order to construct water quality improvements and delineate existing drainage ways, In addition, minor temporary easements for grading purposes may be required along Dunlap Street and the TH 51 Frontage Road, Temporary and permanent easements will be determined in the early phase of final design once the Council has directed staff regarding which alternatives to proceed with, Negotiations will take place with affected property owners prior to the assessment hearing with the goal of obtaining easements before the assessment role is finalized and adopted. The estimated project costs in this report do not include any property acquisition costs. Dunlap Street: The street reconstruction will include the removal of existing pavement, realigning of the roadway within the existing ROW to accommodate driveways, trees, and utilities. The proposed profile elevation of Dunlap Street will be slightly lower than the current elevation to promote better drainage from adjacent properties into the street. In addition, shallow sodded (mowable) swales are proposed along segments of Dunlap Street to intercept runoff from adjacent parking lots prior to entering the street drainage system. Swale areas will be bedded with sand drained by roadway sub drains to promote infiltration of small rain events. Reconstruction of bituminous and concrete driveways will be performed as necessary to meet the new roadway grades, Some existing driveways widths will be narrowed wherever possible without disruption of business access. The roadway will be striped and signed to provide for safe traffic movement and prohibit on street parking. URS 6
