WHEREAS, there are a number of existing unimproved streets in the City of Fayetteville which are in need of paving and curbs and gutters, and a number of existing improved streets which are in need of being widened, and WHEREAS, many of the property owners abutting said streets desire to contribute toward such improvements, and WHEREAS, in order to encourage such improvements and provide standards for same, it is the desire of the Board of Directors to adopt certain regulations, rules and policies governing such improvements, said rules, regulations and policies having heretofore been approved by the City Manager and City Engineer. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE CITY OF FAYETTEVILLE, ARKANSAS: SECTION 1. Paving of Existing Unimproved Streets (Gravel or Dirt). Property owners on existing gravel or dirt streets may secure paving of said streets under the following alternatives and limitations: • A. Concrete curb and gutter; street paving consisting of 6 inch base and 2 inch asphaltic concrete, having an average width of 27 to 32 feet, where possible. (1) Construction Standards. All construction shall meet minimum standards presently established for sub- division§ as contained in Resolution No. 10-61, September 11, 1961; as amended by Resolution No. 7-65, April. 5, 1965. (2) No project shall be undertaken unless it consists of. a minimum of one full block or extends between two street intersections. (3) Petition, Plans and Specifications and Contract. Petitions must be filed with the City Manager in which the property owners indicate their willingness to share (on a front footage basis) the full cost of the project based upon the contract costs for curb and gutter construction and base material preparations, together with the cost for materials of the prime coat and asphaltic surface at ten cents ($.10) per square foot. A deposit of money repre- senting 10% of the estimated property owner cost shall accompany said petition and shall be applied to defray • • • s_ • • • engineering costs in the event property owners do not pledge and pay in their full cost so that the project may be completed. If property owners do fully pay in their full cost, the deposit will be considered as part of their payment. Upon receipt of such a petition, the .City _will prepare plans and specifications for curbs, gutters and base material and request bids from contractors. The low bid price, together with ten cents ($.10) per square foot for the cost of materials for the asphaltic surface, will be used to determine a per front foot cost. A rep- resentative for the petitioners shall be notified of the cost. Petitioners shall then have thirty days within which to deposit the full amount of money.requirred for the project with the City. When the petitioners have paid in to the City the full amount of money required for the project, the City will let contracts for curb, gutter and base rnaterials preparations. Good engin- eering practice will determine whether curb and gutter should be required on both sides of the street. In requesting bids as provided above, the City will also solicit bids for prime coat and asphaltic sur- face material and work. If contractor's bid for such material and work is ten cents ($.10) per square foot or less, City will contract for prime coat and asphal- tic surface as well, rather than undertake the work with City personnel and equipment. In such case this lower cost will be used in computing front footage cost to property owners. (4) City Inspection and Work. The City will do all prime and asphaltic surface work excepted when con- tracted as defined in A (3), supra. The City will also inspect the contractor's work and upon completion of the project will assume full and complete maintenance of the street. (5) Priorities and City Contribution to Property Owner Cost. A project will be carried out if 90% of the total estimated property owner cost is pledged and paid in, and in such case the City shall assume the remaining 10% of the property owner cost. How- ever, those projects in which 100% of the property owner cost is pledged and paid in by the property owners shall receive first priority for construction and completion. B.
