MEMORANDUM
August 15, 2000
TO: Michael C. Van Milligen, City Manager
Michael A. Koch, Public Works Director 1/..1;{~
FROM:
SUBJECT: Manson Road Bridge Replacement Project
INTRODUCTION
This letter relates to the purchase of one single-family residence and portions of
properties required for the relocation and reconstruction of the Manson Road Bridge.
DISCUSSION
The Federal Highway Administration has given the City approval of an 80 percent
(80%) grant for the replacement of the Manson Road Bridge, and the engineering firm
of IIW Engineers & Surveyors, P.C. is currently in the design phase of the project.
Construction of the bridge and its approaches is anticipated for Year 2001.
In the initial review of the roadway alignments, several factors had been to considered
including the effect of any new bridge design on the creek hydrology, and how the
new bridge and approaches will conform to the existing homes and surrounding
properties. An additional problem is that the existing bridge must be kept in service
while the new bridge is under construction.
After careful consideration of many alternatives, it appears that the best alignment is
as shown on the attached plan, which requires the purchase of one single-family home
at 1650 Manson Road. In addition, portions of several other lots would be required
as additional right-of-way for the relocated bridge approaches. The City has had an
appraisal performed on the property at 1650 Manson Road, and has negotiated a
purchase price of $84,000 with the owner of the property, John H. Gordon, in
addition to moving expenses and other federal expenses allowable under relocation
assistance for such construction projects.

. RECOMMENDATION
The original capital improvement project for the reconstruction of the Manson Road
Bridge included funds for right-of-way acquisition, but did not anticipate the acquisition
of any homes. Therefore, this matter is being brought to the City Council for specific
approval for the purchase of the home, as well as the balance of the right-of-way
needed for the project. The attached plan will form the basis of the property
acquisition plan which is required by the Federal Highway Administration.
I would recommend that the City Council approve the acquisition of the property at
1650 Manson Road for the purpose of reconstructing the Manson Road bridge, and
the authorize the purchase of the other various portions of properties needed for the
bridge approach relocation.
BUDGET IMPACT
At this time it is uncertain whether federal funds will be available for the purchase of
the home, however, it is necessary that the home be acquired whether or not federal
funds are available. If the funds are available, funding will be in the amount of 80
percent (80%) of the total cost of the property acquisitions for approximately
$67,200.
.
The estimate for the bridge project is $857,800, $686,240 (80%) of which is federal
aid, and $171,560 in City Road Use Tax Funds (20%). If the purchase of the house
is eligible for federal funding, the total federal share would become $753,440, still
under the maximum federal funding for the project of $850,000. The local share
would increase to $188,360.
If federal funds are not made available, the local share would increase to $255,560,
and the additional $84,000 would have to be paid for through the Fiscal Year 2001
street program funds.
ACTION TO BE TAKEN
The City Council is requested to approve the acquisition of the property at 1650
Manson Road for the sum of $84,000.
