This project is to provide improvements at the Potter Avenue railroad crossing to obtain the final quiet zone within the City. The following is a description of the improvements included in the project: installation of 180 LF of 3’ concrete median as well as 346 LF of 30” concrete curb and gutter. Road items include earthwork activities to widen Potter Avenue along the east side with the installation of a 18” RCP culvert with flared end sections as well as installing 1,232 SY of 6” aggregate base and 1,130 SY of 4” asphaltic concrete paving to replace 400' of existing pavement. The contract time allotted for the project is 30 working days to Final Completion.

This scope of services is to manage the construction contract along with inspection, testing and surveying that will widen the crossing and construct the items necessary for the quiet zone implementation.

The construction management fee equates to 18.9% of the construction contract award or approximately $1,438 per day of construction.

The funding for this project has been allocated from the 1% Optional Tax Account 201-10-05-419-70-47403. The budget for the City's 50% match for the project is $400,000. WYDOT will invoice the City for 50% of the BNSF crossing/signal improvements which are estimated to be a total of $259,392.00 resulting in the City's share of $129,696 for the WYDOT facilitated portion of the project.

At the current time, the City's total contribution to the project is estimated to be $274,832.

I move for Approval of a Professional Services Agreement for Construction  Management Services Associated with the Potter Avenue Quiet Zone Improvements with KLJ, in the Amount of $43,146.00 (1% and WYDOT Grant Funded Project).
