Attached is the tabulated list in order of priority. H. Carlos Smith previously prepared plans and specifications for five (5) of the top eleven (11) streets prioritized by Council. These streets are Bois D'Arc - #1, San Jacinto - #2, Lomax Drive - #3, Shirley Lane- #6, and E. Fieldcrest - #11. Eighty five percent (85%) of the engineering fee has been paid. . The Public Works Department feels that these streets should be contracted, • and that two (2) additional streets, W. Sunset Ridge - #~+, and North "L" - #5, have plans and specifications prepared so that they can be contracted also. Casts for engineering and construction can be broken down as follows: Balance of previous engineering (15~) $ 3,338.00 Cost to upgrade plans prepared 6,700.00 Field survey to design two new streets 3,000.00 Engineering fee for new streets ~ 7,75.00 Construction staking for all streets ~ 8;000.00 TOTAL ESTIMATED ENGINEERING COST $ 28,513.00 Estimated construction costs for contracting these streets is as follows: Total cost with 2 course surface treatment $~+57,~+00..00 Total cost without 2 course surface treatment x+05,600.00 Because the Public Works Department has all equipment needed to apply 2 course surface treatment; I recommend that the City perform this function. With a 10,000 gallon heated storage tank, the City can pave each street as it is ready. I recommend that the City construct the following streets: Browning - #7, Ohio - D to E - #8, Nugent - E to >+00' South - #9, and N. 1st - Madison to Barbour's Cut - #10. Additional streets can be paved if•time and money permit. • ~~
