Subject: AWARD OF CONTRACT-ASSESSMENT PAVING AT TWO LOCATIONS;
'07 RECONSTRUCTION OF TWO LOCATIONS; AND MONTERREY DRIVE
STORM DRAIN CONSTRUCTION, M&C C-2973
On December 9, 1974, the Staff was requested to investigate the possibility
of funding the construction of Project No. 104-24000-238, Assessment Paving
of North Commerce Street and N.E. 38th Street from the proposed Economic
Development Administration Grant for the Stockyards Restoration area. Pro-
jects to be funded by the proposed EDA Grant will be limited to the clearly
defined Special Impact Area which does not include North Commerce Street from
N.E. 28th to N.E. 29th Streets or N.E. 38th Street from the G.C. & S.F. RR
to North Grove Street. According to information available to the City Staff
it is not anticipated that funds from the proposed EDA project can be utilized
for the proposed assessment paving projects.
In addition, the N.E. 38th Street project includes the enlargement of the
drainage culvert which will eliminate potential flooding of the area north
of 38th Street. The Tandy Corporation has reported that some of its facil-
ities at this location have been flooded two or three times this year and
presently a 360,000 square foot building is under construction. The com-
pany is very concerned about the potential for serious flooding of its -prop-
erties unless the existing culvert is enlarged as proposed under the N.E. 38th
Street Assessment Paving Project.
If any additional information is desired, it will be supplied upon request.
Respectfully submitted,
R. N. Line
