AAY 2 3 1999 Bou 6 F,aUF 936 7 perform the engineering services at a reasonable cost. The estimated costs of construction of the improvements $550,000. .Engineering costs funded by the County.are $30,050 plus right- of-way survey which may be performed by County crews or by the Consultant once preliminary work is accomplished. Costs to the developer total $33,950(impact fee credits). The County Commis- sion approved entering into a Master Agreement with Kimley-Horn and Associates in 1987 after formal advertising and selection under the CCNA. ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS The Alternatives are as follows: Alternative No. 1 Approve a joint County/Developer project to design five lane widening improvements along Oslo Road from approximately 500' west of Old Dixie Highway to US 1. The County's work tasks shall be authorized under a Work Order under a Master Agreement between Indian River County and Kimley-Horn and Assoc. at a cost of $30,050. The developer would perform certain work tasks and receive impact fee credits of $33,950. Once engineering and right-of-way acquisition is complete, District 6 impact fees and gas tax revenue would fund construction. Alternative No. 2 Implement only signalization of Oslo Road/Old Dixie Highway at this time without road widening. If this is performed, the County would have to remove these improvements in 1996 when five laning is scheduled. RECOMMENDATION AND FUNDING It is recommended that Alternative No. 1 be approved. Funding at this time in the amount of $30,050 would be from District 6 Road Impact Fees (balance on 4-30-89 is $541,414.34 and $96,000 is presently uncommitted to projects). A formal Work Order and Master Agreement will be forthcoming. Director Davis informed the Board that the Helseths have concerns. They live on both corners of Oslo and Old Dixie and own just about all of the property -along the length of the project west of the railroad track. Their concerns are due to the fact that there is a garage structure on the north side of Oslo in close proximity to the project, and their elderly mother lives in the house to the north of the roadway. They would appreciate it if we would not 5 lane the section west of Old Dixie at this time. Director Davis noted there is some flexibility to maybe drop out a lane or two to the west of Old Dixie, and he felt that could work for probably a 4-5 year period. We still could implement the ultimate section east of Old Dixie, and he believed we can design with the Helseth's interests in mind. 54
