The Department of Public Works has <br />in this median, and it is estimated that approximately 3,500 lineal <br />feet of curb is required. The estimated cost for this construction is $7.50 <br />per lineal foot or $26,250. The City of Fellsmere is having difficulties <br />in maintaining this area due to vandals driving on the median strip and <br />thereby destroying grass, shrubbery, etc. <br />ANALYSIS AND -ALTERNATIVES <br />Four alternatives are suggested for consideration. <br />Alternative 1. <br />The County Road and Bridge Department has approximately 170 L.F. of <br />steel curb forms on hand. The County could temporarily donate the use of <br />these forms to the City.for this Construction. The labor involved in pre- <br />paring the subgrade and setting the forms for the curb construction could <br />possibly be performed by way of a community participation project using <br />volunteer residents of the area and the City of Fellsmere. Concrete and <br />reinforcing steel costs are estimated at $6,000. These. costs could be <br />shared 50/50 between the City and Indian River County. <br />Alternative 2 <br />The County approve this request and fund the $26,250. estimated cost <br />from the Road and Bridge Department budgeted funds. Construction drawings <br />would have to be prepared and bids solicited by the County. <br />Alternative 3 ' <br />The County deny this request and recommend the City of Fellsmere pursue <br />this construction. <br />BOOK 6 PACE 639 <br />69 <br />
