City Council action is requested on Project No. 30-023171-00, as described
below:
Roadway R.O.W.
Street Limits Width-Feet Width-Feet
Cooks Lane Brentwood Stair 2-36' Lanes 120
(Unit II) Road to IH-30 W/28' Median
Origin of Project
On May 30, 1980 (M&C Cf4548), the City Council approved the 1980-81 CIP and
authorized the Public Works Department to begin engineering design for street
and storm drainage improvements, including the design of Cooks Lane from John
T. White Road to Brentwood Stair.
On August 18, 1980 (M&C C-5219), the City Council authorized the City Manager to
execute a contract with Rady and Associates, Inc., for design services (City
Secretary Contract No. 11246).
The cost of the right-of-way required for this project exceeded the original
estimates and 'the funds that initially were allocated, and thus reduced the
funds available for construction. Consequently, on April 24, 1984 (M&C C-8344),
the City Council authorized the reorganization of the project for advertisement
and construction in the following order as construction funds permit:
1. Cooks Lane I.H. 30 Interchange (Unit I)
2. Cooks Lane from Brentwood Stair Road
to IH-30 Interchange (Unit II)
3. Cooks Lane from I.H. 30 Interchange
to John T. White Road (Unit III)
Bids were received on priority items one (1) and two (2) above on November i,
1984. This communication pertains to priority item two (2) only.
Improvements
This segment of Cooks Lane will be improved with 7" thick reinforced concrete
pavement with attached concrete curb and driveway approaches where required.
Storm drain improvements consist of two reinforced concrete box culverts and 770
feet of reinforced concrete pipe and appurtenances. In addition, required street
lighting will also be installed in a future contract. However, adjacent property
owners will be assessed for the street lighting at this time based on the
engineer's estimate.
Receipt of Bids
The project was advertised for bids on September 27 and October 4, 1984, and the
following bids were received on November 1, 1984, with 270 working days allotted
to complete the project.
