r AUG 5 19 1 866K P P4E I24 the County's annual contract with Pan American Engineering Company and have Dickerson, Inc. construct a 22' wide 1" asphalt surface for a cost of $43,000. Total cost for the above.work would be $108,000. Minor incidental work, grading, drainage, etc. would be performed by the County Poad and Bridge Department. Any cost overrun could be paid for out of the 1981-82 budget. Hopefully, all right- of-way can be acquired. This paving would relieve heavy maintenance costs 'involved with these roads. Alternative #2: If possible, the unencumbered balance as of September 30, 1981, be carried over to the 1981-82 budget under the same account number. If the priorities of the Board are different than the paving of R.D. Carter Road and Lateral "A" Road or if right-of-way acquisition problems complicate matters, the road paving capability that we have with these funds will not be lost. Alternative #3: Direct the $115,000. to be spent on other than the -above subject roads as approved by the Board. RECOMMENDATIONS AND FUNDING Based upon the specific paving needs as presented in the March, 1981 Roads Workshop, it is recommended that thefollowing roads be paved with remaining funds in the Road and Bridge Department account #004-214-541-35.39. 1. Lateral "A" Road from C.R. 510 (Wabasso Road) to the connection to Schumman Drive leading to the new Sebastian Elementary School - approximate cost for base and asphalt work = $41,000. Other incidental work along the 3,000' length of project shall be by the Road and Bridge Department. 2. R.D. Carter Road (1st Street S.W.) from 27th Avenue to 43rd Avenue. Length of project 1.0 mile. Approximate cost $67,000. for base and asphalt work. Other incidental work to be done by Road and Bridge Department staff. Total estimated cost: $108,000.00 COMMISSIONER FLETCHER PRESUMED THAT LATERAL "A" WAS GIVEN PRIORITY OVER POWER LINE ROAD BECAUSE OF THE RIGHT-OF-WAY SITUATION, AND ENGINEER DAVIS STATED THE ONLY REASON WAS PROXIMITY TO THE SCHOOL. HE CONTINUED THAT WE HAVE MAINTAINED LATERAL "A" FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS AND HAVE SENT EACH PROPERTY OWNER A LETTER REQUESTING THEM TO GIVE US THE RIGHT-OF-WAY. THE RESPONSE HAS BEEN NEGATIVE SO FAR. DISCUSSION FOLLOWED ABOUT ROAD PAVING POLICY. ENGINEER DAVIS INFORMED THE BOARD THAT THE TRAFFIC COUNT ON R.D. CARTER ROAD IS OVER 1,000 VEHICLES PER DAY. IT IS MORE A COLLECTOR ROAD THAN RESIDENTIAL AND THE SAME APPLIES TO POWER LINE ROAD AND LATERAL "A"; ALSO, BOTH OF THESE ARE RECOMMENDED BY THE SCHOOL BOARD AS ONE OF THEIR PRIORITIES. COMMISSIONER SCURLOCK FELT IF THE POEPLE ALONG LATERAL "A" DON T WANT TO COOPERATE, WE SHOULD CONTACT PROPERTY OWNERS ON THE OTHER ROAD AND SEE WHO WILL GIVE US THE RIGHT-OF-WAY.
