Council approves $125,090 HDR supplement to study Birmingham Road realignment and RCE grant readiness
Summary
Council approved a $125,090 supplement to HDR Task Order No.7 to study a less-costly in-line realignment for Birmingham Road and to provide grant-writing services for the federal Railroad Crossing Elimination program, bringing the Task Order to $235,220.
The council approved Supplement No. 2 to HDR Engineering's Task Order No.7, increasing the task order by $125,090 to study an inline alignment option for Birmingham Road to remove an at-grade railroad crossing and to provide grant-writing services aimed at Railroad Crossing Elimination (RCE) federal funding. Staff explained that prior flyover concepts proved cost-prohibitive given topography and right-of-way constraints, prompting the alternative study.
Supplement No. 2 allocates approximately 75% of scope and fees to grant-writing services (pre-NEPA readiness, benefit-cost analysis and RCE application preparation) and 25% to the alternative alignment concept plan. Funding will come from budgeted City Capital Sales Tax funds; council approved the resolution by roll call (record shows an 8-0 vote).
