item and the regular agenda is a public hearing and this is a resolution ordering improvement approving plans and specifications and ordering advertisement for bids for the one hundred and twenty first Pleasant Street and trail improvement project and miss Jen des Rood our city engineer is presenting good evening and welcome so as you mentioned this is the public hearing for 121st Street and pleasant trail and public improvement project okay so tonight we'll talk about the process overview for ordering the project a project overview and describing the need for the project this is a special assessment project so we'll talk a little bit about the methodology and then open for the public hearing so the process overview the council ordered the preliminary report in February we held a neighborhood meeting in April and then tonight is the public hearing for the project and then in June will award them come back and award the project in the summer and fall will be construction and then I have two dates here for substantially complete we're hoping that they can get through with the work this year but it may carry on into next year and so there's sort of two options for that if it were to carry on we'll do assessments next year if we can get it wrapped up this year we'll do assessments with this year's assessments and then the assessment hearing so here's the project overview one hundred and twenty first street from the frontage road to the end it would be a reclamation project and then on Pleasant Avenue that would be a full reconstruction and as you'll see in the following pictures there's the street has sunk quite a bit and that's due to 9 foot of peat that's beneath the surface so we have to do some soil Corrections with a geotextile of fabric and then trail replacement um on both sides are both streets well in conjunction with the project there'll be some storm sewer lining and then there's a few monitoring wells that we can close at the same time as long as we're having a contractor and in the area so this picture on the left is Pleasant Avenue looking south and I took it quite a while ago in the winter so that is frozen water in the gutter goes out into the street cred aways and then you can see the trail it's a dark picture I took it in the morning this is all ice over the trail and then all ice in the gutter this picture on the right is the intersection of pleasant 121st also taken in winter conditions and maybe some flying happening but you can see a lot of water held into the street and not draining very well and that's due to the poor the sinking of the street so our project costs we have we're going to propose using a deed grant that we have been awarded a portion of it so 210 ish dollars per Matt the deed grant special assessments in the amount of the $172,000 ITF 190 mm and then storm utility and water utility for those well closures and the storm lining so it's about a $650,000 project for special assessments will only be assessing for the street rehabilitation and construction the sewer and all of the other components that are not going to be part of this special assessment and we'll base the special assessments on the rates that we have published for our fee schedule so it'll be based on the frontage of Jason to the street and then the remainder of the project cost will be paid for by the grant and ITF and this is our special assessment P back just directly from the policy with ranging from one year to 15 year payback all of these assessments are over $2,000 so they'll be in that 15 year range and if we do the special assessment this year the interest rate will be at 5% if we hold off until next year it'll be whatever the interest rate is at the time the two rates were proposing for the reclamation is 49 69 per foot and for the reconstruction 6861 we did have a neighborhood open house inviting the for property owners that are adjacent and we had one of them attending that property owner had a lot of interest in surrounding projects particularly the 35w bridge project and didn't really show much concern about this project he recognized that there's a definite need and other than that and no other comments were received okay any questions for mr.
