RE:

City Connecting Link Agreement

Consent Agenda Item January 9, 2007

 

With the completion of the W. 6th Street project (Hwy40), the City is now responsible for the maintenance of W. 6th Street to the K-10 intersection.  This increase of lane miles initiated a revision to the City/State agreement for City Connecting Links (highways within the city limits) which was previously approved in October 2006.  The State made a computational error in the mileage and, therefore, attached is the corrected agreement for the City’s approval.

 

The City Connecting Links agreement basically sets out where City/State maintenance begins/ends and, based on the lane mileage of highway in the City limits, pays the City $3,000/lane mile.  Lawrence has 52.656 lane miles which amounts to $157,698/year, paid quarterly. 

 

ACTION REQUESTAuthorize the Mayor to sign corrected City Connecting Link Agreement.

 

Respectfully submitted,

Charles F. Soules, P.E.
