the date of the benefit hearing. Notice was given in accord with Article 1105b,
Vernon's Annotated Civil Statutes.
An independent appraiser has provided a report that documents the enhancement
to property values which results from the improvements. Based on standard City
policy, the City Engineer's estimate, and the advice of the independent
appraiser, the division of estimated construction cost is:
Property owners' share of cost: $ 71,589.51 (16%)
City's share of cost: $382,490.49 84%
Total cost: $ 54, 80.00 0O7%

Street and Storm Drain Improvements to Brandies Street from Lawnwood to
Brandies, Lawnwood Avenue from Brandies to DeCosta, and DeCosta Avenue
from Lawnwood to the dead end.
DISCUSSION:
On August 29, 1989, the City Council awarded a contract to Architectural
Utilities, Inc., in the amount of $971,891.60 and 80 working days to complete
an outfall storm drain system to serve the East 1st/East 4th Street Urban
Systems Project. This storm drain installation was combined with the
reconstruction of Brandies from Lawnwood to East 1st Street and Lawnwood from
Brandies to DeCosta as provided for in the 1986 Capital Improvement Program.
Appropriate trench repair and street surfacing was provided for DeCosta Avenue
from Lawnwood to the dead end.
During the placement of the storm drain in DeCosta, it was found that the
sanitary sewer system in DeCosta was badly in need of replacement and was
located so as to make the storm drain installation extremely difficult. Removal
and replacement required 600 feet of new sanitary sewer mains and service lines,
9 service taps, provision for sewage pumping during the replacement, and 906
square yards of HMAC pavement for additional street repair in DeCosta. Due to
the nature of the subgrade soil in the area, the use of cement stabilization in
lieu of lime stabilization was determined to be more appropriate. The contractor
agreed to perform the additional work for a total of $60,377.67 and 56
additional working days. Engineering staff has reviewed the additional cost and
time and finds it to be reasonable for the work done.

transfer, funds for this expenditure will be available in the capital budget of
