SUMMARY:
The municipal boundary between the City of Littleton and the City of Centennial on East Orchard Road is approximately 600 feet east of Broadway. Each city is responsible for maintenance of the street within its jurisdiction.
The City of Centennial initiated pavement and concrete rehabilitation on a segment of East Orchard Road between South Pearl Street and Broadway. This work consists of the removal and installation of curb and gutter, as well as asphalt patching and full-width milling and overlaying of the street surface. Portions of the project lie within the jurisdiction of each city. The City of Centennial is managing this project.
The City of Littleton agreed to reimburse the City of Centennial for its share of the material and labor costs.
PRIOR ACTIONS OR DISCUSSIONS:
This subject has not previously been discussed with council.
ANALYSIS:
Staff Analysis
Both cities realize a cost savings in undertaking projects of mutual benefit. Joint projects such as this result in a higher-quality finished product versus being constructed independently. Joint projects also reduce the public impact by taking place concurrently.
Council Goal, Objective, and/or Guiding Principle
This project meets Goal 2: Financial Sustainability/Objective 4: Identifying, assessing and prioritizing long-term capital needs through its inclusion in the Public Works Department’s 2019 Pavement Management Projects. This project further meets Goal 2: Financial Sustainability/Objective 5: Identifying, assessing and prioritizing funding for capital needs by leveraging strategic cooperative projects with partner agencies when the opportunities arise. By undertaking this project together with Centennial, the city will realize a cost savings and high- quality seamless construction.
Fiscal Impacts
The city will reimburse the City of Centennial for the portion of work within Littleton in the amount of $118,196.05. Staff anticipated this project when planning its 2019 budget, and funding is available in the Capital Projects Fund.
Alternatives
Should this agreement not be approved, the city would need to undertake the work within Littleton independently, at a much higher cost than if completed as part of the joint project with Centennial. This would also result in double the traffic impact for the same project.
