AGENDA ITEM Item No. 11 Date: January 22, 2018 Item Description: Old Crystal Bay Road (CSAH 112-CSAH 6) Design Update Presenter: Adam T. Edwards Public Works Director/City Engineer Agenda Public Works Director/ Section: City Engineer's Report 1. Purpose. The purpose of this action item is to gain council approval to commence design for Old Crystal Bay Road (OCB) between County Road 112 and County Road 6. 2. Background. For some time there have been concerns regarding the ability of OCB to handle the traffic associated with the Orono Public School operations. In particular, OCB and those roads that feed it suffer from heavy congestion during school drop off and pick up times. In 2010 the city conducted a traffic and safety study which was followed that same year by a feasibility study. However the construction project ultimately was not approved. In 2012 a 1.5 inch overlay was applied to this section of road. In 2016 the School performed a traffic study of the internal school facilities and the road corridor which confirmed many of the same issues the 2010 studies had identified. At the April 24, 2017 the work session the council directed staff to look at the road condition and congestion issues. On May 22nd staff presented some options to the City Council's School Committee and received guidance to proceed with requesting the county reconfigure the OCB-6 intersection to right in/ right out and to work toward a long term plan for the road with construction in 2018. In July Council authorized Bolton and Menk to complete a feasibility study of project. On November 27th the Council authorized staff to initiate initial design work. The City and school have held several productive meetings with consulting staff from both the city and school. The school Board will be addressing continued partnership with the city on the project at their January 22"d meeting. Based on initial feedback from the City- School Partnership Committee we believe they will approve moving forward. 3. Scope. The design work will consist of topographic surveying, preliminary design, and detail design for the reconstruction and reconfiguration of Old Crystal Bay Road between County Road 112 and County Road 6 and well as the replacement of associated water, sewer and storm water utilities. 4. Engineering Cost. Bolton and Menk has provided a scope of services for a total fee estimate of $247,500 (Exhibit A) for Design work though Project Award.
