Council approves ODOT supplemental agreement increasing city share and a $30,400 right‑of‑way contract
Summary
Council approved a supplemental ODOT/ACOG agreement for the Eastern Avenue project that raises the city’s share by about $775,000 (project costs rose from ~$2.2M to ~ $3.4M) and accepted $453,000 in additional ODOT funds; council also approved a $30,400 Pinnacle contract for right‑of‑way acquisition for the I‑35 Commerce Center.
The council approved a supplemental and modification agreement for an Eastern Avenue project after staff said project costs increased from approximately $2.2 million to just over $3.4 million, raising the city's cost share from 20% to 36% and increasing the city's obligation by about $775,000. Staff said ODOT provided an extra $453,000 to offset part of the increase and recommended approval; the project is scheduled to bid in October.
Council also approved a $30,400 right‑of‑way acquisition services agreement with Pinnacle Consulting Management Group, Inc. to support water and sewer installation for the I‑35 Commerce Center industrial park. Staff said Pinnacle will help acquire four parcels and property interests necessary before utility work can begin.
Staff presented the funding implications and schedule; council approved both agreements by roll call so staff can continue with right‑of‑way acquisitions and final project bidding preparations.
