EURA discusses State Street beautification plan, timeline and $350k–$500k estimate
Summary
Board reviewed the State Street beautification layout and schedule; members discussed removing parallel parking on the north side, center turn lane options, bike-lane widths, permitting with ACHD, procurement timelines and a project estimate of roughly $350,000 to $500,000 (including contingency).
The Eagle Urban Renewal Agency spent a substantial portion of its Dec. 16 meeting on the State Street beautification project, reviewing the current layout, construction timeline and budget estimate.
Chair presented a layout that restores a center turn lane, removes parallel parking on the north side and connects a multi‑use pathway directly to the curb to reduce costs. He said the design review board recommended landscape input and a possible increase to the north‑side bike lane; the board pledged to refine striping and lane widths to meet standards.
On timing, the chair said engineering plans are expected in mid‑January (the chair mentioned Jan. 19 and Jan. 21 as milestone dates) and the project would then be submitted to agencies for review. Counsel recommended issuing final contract documents before soliciting bids to reduce bidder risk and described procurement options (low‑bid versus qualifications‑based) and typical bid periods of 30–60 days. Board members also discussed ACHD contractor bonding and licensing requirements for right‑of‑way work.
On cost, the chair summarized the estimate as roughly "$350 to $500" (the transcript clarifies that the estimate was $350,000 then increased by a 33% contingency to nearly $500,000). He said the City of Eagle may provide limited assistance such as conduit work for power and water and possibly historic light fixtures, but significant city funding was not expected. The chair said construction would likely begin after the community event Eagle Funday to avoid overlap.
Board members asked that staff adjust the published timeline to reflect agency review and the decision to wait until after Eagle Funday.
