BACKGROUND: In their current work plan the Northeast Urban Renewal Board (NURB) have identified that the rehabilitation of East Peach, East Tamarack, Front, and North Ida Streets are a priority. Specifically, the board would like to improve existing conditions regarding sidewalks and overall pedestrian safety, storm water drainage facilities, and other areas of deteriorated public infrastructure. In February 2011 the NURB contracted with Morrison Maierle to provide alternative designs for East Peach Street that addressed the existing conditions within the limited right of way of the street. The board was pleased with Morrison Maierle’s efforts and their design for East Peach and would like to amend their professional services contract to include similar work for East Tamarack, Front, and North Ida Streets. Morrison Maierle’s proposed professional services agreement specifically outlines three separate phases to the contract: Pre-design, Preliminary design, and Final design. The intent of the agreement is to involve the NURB, the Northeast neighborhood association, or any other interested members of the public for at least three separate public meetings to collect public input for the project. Once Morrison Maierle has a clear understanding of what the neighborhood would like to see they will develop a design up unto the bidding phase of the project. Once the design is complete, the NURB may elect to budget future work plans to construct portions of the design, or use the documents to seek out alternative funding sources such as grants. 30 At this time the East Peach Street designs are completed. The intent would be for Morrison Maierle to complete the street designs included with this professional services amendment and bring all designs to the City Commission at a future date for adoption as the standard section for these streets. FISCAL EFFECTS: On June 3, 2013, the City Commission approved the NURB’s FY2014 Work Plan and Budget. This budget included $45,000 for engineering design services that will investigate and recommend street and infrastructure improvements for E. Tamarack/Front/N. Ida. This money was added to the $45,000 approved in FY2013, which creates a total of $90,000 for the project. ALTERNATIVES: As suggested by the City Commission.
