PUBLIC WORKS 08-11-10
The Board considered the approval of a cooperation agreement with    Baldwin City to reconstruction Route 1055 (6th Street) from US-56 Highway (Ames Street) in Baldwin, to one mile north to Route 12 (State Lake Road). Keith Browning, Director of Public Works, presented the item. Both the City of Baldwin and Douglas County have earmarked funds for these improvements.

The proposed share cost arrangement is as follows:
- Baldwin City pays 100% of sidewalk costs, 50% of remaining construction costs, 100% right-of-way acquisition and utility relocation costs within the city limit, and 50% of engineering design and construction inspection costs.
- Douglas County pays 50% of construction costs less sidewalks costs, 100% of right-of-way acquisition and utility relocation costs in the unincorporated portion of the project, 50% of engineering design and construction inspection costs.

The total project costs for Baldwin City is $1,730,400 and Douglas County $1,490,440 for a total of $3,220,800. According to Browning, these estimates are conservative and include 10% construction contingencies. Douglas County has allocated $1,300,000 in the CIP fund for this work. Douglas County will administer the project.
