Council workshop moves Jefferson and Main sidewalk work and budget amendment to council
Summary
Staff proposed using downtown TIF funds to install sidewalks, curb and gutter at Jefferson and Main in front of a new building; estimated cost about $47,000 and staff recommended working with the nearby contractor Understall Construction; council voted to forward the item to full council.
Staff described a downtown TIF-funded sidewalk and curb-and-gutter project at Jefferson and Main in front of a new building owned by a local developer.
The estimated cost for the sidewalk work was cited as about $47,000. Staff said TIF is intended to fund infrastructure such as sidewalks and curb-and-gutter repairs downtown and recommended working with Understall Construction because of proximity and comparable unit costs from similar recent work. "So I'm proposing to work with the developer, Understall, construction to put in the sidewalks and curb and gutter... It's about $47,000 for that," staff said.
Council members asked whether the work needed to go out to bid; staff said the proximity, prior work and similar unit costs supported the recommended approach. A motion to send the TIF-funded sidewalk and budget amendment to the full council was made and passed on voice vote.
What happens next: the item will be scheduled for a formal council vote where members will consider final approval and any contractual arrangements.
