L� <br />KINGS HIGHWAY IMPROVEMENTS - OSLO ROAD TO 26TH ST. - <br />KEN4LEY-HORN - AMENDMENT NO. 4 <br />The Board reviewed the following memo dated 11/22/96: <br />TO: <br />James Chandler <br />County Administrator <br />THROUGH: <br />James W. Davis, P.E. <br />Public Works Director` <br />FROM: <br />Terry B. Thompson, P.",E)' <br />Capital Projects Manage <br />SUBJECT: <br />Amendment No. 4 <br />Kings Highway Improvements <br />Oslo Road to 26th Street <br />DATE: November 22, 1996 <br />DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS <br />Kimley-Horn Associates, Inc. is under contract with Indian River County to perform <br />professional services for improvements to Kings Highway. The attached Amendment No. <br />4 provides for the relocation of Lundberg Road and the design of landscaping <br />improvements in the medians of Kings Highway in the vicinity of SR 60. <br />Lundberg Road is currently located within the right-of-way of the Main Relief Canal. On <br />October 29, 1996 the Board approved a land exchange to relocate Lundberg Road away <br />from the Main Relief Canal bridge. The relocation resolves a traffic safety issue and <br />provides better accessability to adjacent property. Amendment No. 4 provides for design <br />of Lundberg Road at its new location. <br />Amendment No. 4 also provides for the design of landscape and improvements in the <br />Kings Highway medians between 16th Street and 26th Street. The SR 60 Task Force has <br />not finalized the SR 60 Corridor Plan, but the final plan will include recommendations for <br />landscaping the medians of SR 60 and major cross streets. If the medians of Kings <br />Highway are going to be landscaped and irrigated, it would be the most cost effective to <br />include this work in the Kings Highway Widening project. <br />Attached is an opinion of probable cost for the up -front installation cost and the annual <br />maintenance cost of two (2) different landscaping options. The Public Works Department <br />prefers Option 1 because it includes a 1' band of pavers around the landscaped area <br />which provides a clean maintenance edge. Option 2 uses sod instead of pavers. If the <br />sod is not edged regularly, the grass will creep into the landscaped area and create <br />additional maintenance costs. <br />Compensation for Amendment No. 4 is as follows: <br />Lundberg Road $31,900.00 <br />Landscape Design $11.500.00 <br />Total $43,400.00 <br />This increases the maximum amount for Roadway Design from $571,860.00 to <br />$615,260.00. <br />RECOMfdIENDATIONS AND FUNDING <br />Staff recommends approval of Amendment No. 4 in the amount of $43,400.00. Staff also <br />recommends that the medians be landscaped without sod, Option No. 1. <br />Funding is from Account 101-158-541-067.30. <br />64 <br />DECEMBER 3, 1996 <br />BOOK 99 PndW <br />
