Herrera, City Manager <br /> <br />SUBJBCT: Reconstruction and Pavement of Old La Porte Road <br /> <br />In May of this year, the City of La Porte was approached by <br />the firm of Hickham Industries, Inc. about the possibility of <br />paving Old La Porte Road. The eastern portion of this road is, <br />by prescriptive right, a public road, with the western portion <br />owned by Bickhaa. Due to the deteriorated condition of the <br />entire road, Hickha. Industries, Inc. planned to reconstruct and <br />pave their portion of the road; and suggested to the City that it <br />would be in both parties' best interest if Hickha. paved the <br />City's portion as well. <br /> <br />After discussion, an agreement was reached to allow paving <br />all of Old La Porte Road. Hickha. Industries, Inc. agreed to <br />receive quotes, hire, and supervise a contractor for <br />reconstructing and paving the road according to the <br />specifications reco-.ended by an engineering firm retained to <br />investigate the existing road conditions. Hickham Industries, <br />Inc. agreed to aaintain their portion of the road, and to execute <br />ease~nt8 for existing and future water, sewer and drainage <br />facilities. <br /> <br />The City agreed to prepare plan/profile drawings for the <br />road and drainage i.provements. The City also agreed to perform <br />drainage maintenance, supply any base aaterial needed on the <br />public portion of the road to match the proposed profile, and to <br />..intain the public portion of the road. Approxiaately one <br />hundred fifteen (115) tons of additional material was needed, for <br />a total cost to the City of One Thousand Two Hundred Ninety-Four <br />Dollars and Ninety Cents ($1,294.90). Estimated cost to <br />reconstruct and pave the public portion of the road is Thirty <br />Thousand Dollars ($30,000). <br /> <br />This is an excellent example of public/private partnership, <br />and an indication of Hickham's commitment to the co..unity. <br />Hickham Industries, Inc. should be commended for this outstanding <br />contribution to the City of La Porte and its citizens. <br /> <br />RTH:sg <br />
