This allows the municipality to assess each parcel of benefited
property according to the number of lineal feet of 'the parcel that
abuts on a public street.

assessments for all the parties involved. In the Resolution it
will be necessary to determine the cost per lineal foot and the
lineal feet necessary to complete the project. Please note, that
the Council may adjust the assessment in the manner it deems
equitable.

From: Kelly Eldridge, Director of Utility Operations ~ ~/~,~~
Date: May 27, Zoos LEGAi~ ~~P,~RTMENT
Subject:9fh Ave. Sewer Line Extension File: KEMY2708.9thAveSS
This morning, Mr. Qureshi updated the estimate for the. referenced sewer line to $350,000,
due to cost increases. Plans and specifications are ready for advertisement. We could amend
,the P&S to have a Base Bid portion terminating at the PAISD's point of service (estimated at
$240,000), and provide for an Alternate Bid to include the balance of the project (an open-cut
section estimated at $110,000). The base bid portion requires many deep bores under streets,
driveways, and/or pipelines, and will serve only the UBM, the PAISD, Frank Pritchard, and the
Gulf Health Care Center. The Alternate Bid portion would serve the Our Lady of Guadalupe
Church, along with opening up the Ly and Doornbos properties for development.
I have attached a small sketch of the proposed project and two spreadsheets showing the cost
apportionment to the properties served, one for the Entire Project and one for the Base Bid
Portion only. As previously discussed; the City contribution is $100,000, well over the minimum
for a conventional assessment. Becky tells me we have enough money in a Fund 419 account
to cover our costs.
I recommend we begin this project as soon as possible, as construction prices are getting
worse every day.
