RECOMMENDATION The staff recommends that the City Council approve a payment of $330,000 to AHTD for land acquisition and utility relocations for the Gregg Avenue widening project between Township Street and Fulbright Expressway. BACKGROUND The City has adopted a resolution with the Arkansas Highway and Transportation Department to enter into an agreement for the widening of Gregg Avenue between Township Street and Fulbright Expressway. AHTD will construct the new roadway at their cost in exchange for the City reimbursing AHTD for right-of-way acquisitions and utility relocations. Once the project is complete, the City will accept for future maintenance the entire section of Highway 180 from N. College to the Fulbright Expressway, which includes Township Street between N. College and Gregg Avenue, and Gregg Avenue from Township Street to the Fulbright Expressway. Any improvements to Township Street will be the responsibility of the City. DISCUSSION The City's cost share portion of this project has already been budgeted for in two separate 2004 CIP projects: 02129 (Gregg Avenue Waterline Relocation) and 04010 (Gregg Avenue Right -of -Way). The waterline design is already well underway by contract with Garver Engineers, and the right-of-way costs are addressed in this current agenda request. BUDGET IMPACT This $330,000 expenditure has been budgeted in the 2004 CIP as Project #04010 (Gregg — Fulbright to Township ROW). The entire 2004 budget of $360,000 has been carried forward to 2005 and is available for this payment to AHTD. # # # 1 • • RESOLUTION NO.

The amount requested in this letter inadvertently included funds for the relocation of the City's water facilities. Relocation of the water facilities will be handled by the City at no cost to the Department. The amount due for utility adjustments has been revised to $185,000. The cost estimate for right-of-way acquisitions remains unchanged at $145,000. As previously agreed, the City is responsible for all costs relative to right-of-way and eligible utilities. In order for the Department to proceed, please submit a check in the amount of $330,000 (made payable to the Arkansas State Highway and Transportation Department) to this office. If you have any questions, please contact Kay Crutchfield in our Right of Way Administrative Section at (501) 569-2333 or Ralph Williams in our Utilities Section at (501) 569-2146. c: Assistant to the Director Programs and Contracts Planning and Research Right of Way (2 copies) District 4 Engineer Fiscal Services (2 copies) Job 040420 "C" File 0` truly, Robert L.
