The purpose of this action item is to gain council approval to commence the planning and <br />engineering of the Fox Street Project. <br /> <br />2. Background. At the April 11th, 2022 Council Work Session the Council provided direction for 2023 <br />street projects. The streets being considered for 2023 are Fox Street (Brown to Orono Orchard) and <br />Townline Road. Due to the complexities of the Fox Street Project we are proposing to break the deign <br />effort in to two parts. A preliminary design and then a final design. <br /> <br />3. Neighborhood Input. In November of 2021, the city received a petition from 11 of the Fox Street <br />residents requesting the city consider a dedicated bike and pedestrian lane. Subsequently city staff <br />received calls from two residents expressing concern with pedestrian or bike modification to the right of <br />way. <br /> <br />4. Scope. Preliminary design for this road will consist of wetland delineations of abutting wetlands; <br />development of scoping options and analysis of feasibility of inclusion of pedestrian facilities. <br /> <br />5. Engineering and Design Cost. Bolton and Menk has provided a scope of services for a fee estimate <br />not to exceed $62,300 (Exhibit A). <br /> 6. Funding. The engineering as well as the eventual projects will be funded with a combination of the <br />Pavement Management and Stormwater Fund. <br /> <br />Fund Cost Estimate Est. 2022 End of Year Fund Balance <br />Pavement Fund $ 1,003,800 $ 61,630 <br />Stormwater Fund $ 150,570 $ 1,579,927 <br />Total $1,154,370 <br /> <br />7.
