MEMORANDUM
TO: Timothy Hansley
FROM: Terry Foegler
".... DATE: August 16, 1995

i SUBJECT: Hard Road/S.R. 257 Intersection Improvement
-
As you may recall, the 1994 Capital Budget provided a $200,000 allocation for the Hard
Road/S.R. 257 intersection improvement. This figure was a pre-design estimate based purely
upon the City's then recent experience at the Tuller Road/S.R. 257 intersection. As we
proceeded in the design process in late 1994 through the first half of 1995, we recognized that
the project was significantly bigger in scope than the Tuller Road/S.R. 257 project and would
cost significantly more. I failed, however, to provide Marsha Grigsby with the appropriate
updated project estimate when the Capital Budget was presented to Council this past winter of
1994. Therefore, the 1994 Capital Budget inadvertently contains the older, outdated estimate.
Our subsequent submittals to Council, including the information submitted for the current Five-
Year CIP review, have reflected the appropriate updated estimates. It should be emphasized that
all of the capital budgeting and programming work during 1995 have fully considered and
included the proper estimate for this project.
You had also asked me to summarize the key differences between the Hard Road/S.R. 257 and
the Tuller Road/S.R. 257 intersection improvements to help better explain the significant cost
....;"'~ differences in these two projects. I have reviewed this information with the design engineers,
and it is summarized as follows:
.,. . The Hard Road intersection improvement includes over $60,000 for the reconstruction
of stone walls impacted by the proposed widening.
. The Hard Road intersection improvement includes extensive curb, gutter, and
underground storm drainage improvements not required at the Tuller Road project.
These more expensive drainage improvements were needed in order to mitigate the
impacts on abutting residential properties along Riverside Drive and to implement the
needed improvements within a more constrained right-of-way area. These drainage items
added an additional $72,000 to the total project cost.
. The Hard Road intersection improvement required additional embankment and excavation
on the east side of Riverside Drive at an estimated additional cost of $44,000.
