I looked at today's retail values on the SLMs and signs and still looks like this number is appropriate with oversight and construction taken into account. If anyone thinks we should estimate a little higher (say $40K) let me know.
I would go with the higher number. If the City gets a contractor to perform this work (which we would) we have to pay prevailing wage rates and $7,000 for construction seems low to me.
Priority 15: Print the established bicycle route map and classify all streets in terms of their bicycle friendliness
Applicant: City of Morgantown
Total Project Costs: $15,000
Design and Production Estimate: $3,000
City of Morgantown match: $600
Background: Based on approx. 80,000 maps to be printed at 17"x24". Project actually came in around $13000, but the minimum to apply for under TAP funding is $15,000. I feel like 80,000 maps is an awful lot, but may be the only way to get to the $15,000 based on the price quote I saw. We might be able to print less and make a larger map or fancier design or perhaps a rainproof paper?
Priority 47: Covered bike parking at bus stops
Applicant: City of Morgantown (applicant recommended by David Bruffy, Mountainline Transit Authority)
Total Project Costs: $80,400
Design and Construction Oversight: $16080
City of Morgantown match: $3216
Background: Number of locations: 12
Racks per location: 4 at $550/rack (for a total of 8 bikes per location) = $2200
Bike shelter: 4'x12' w/ shelter, concrete pad, and excavation = $4500
Shelter and 4 racks per site: $4500 + $2200 = $6700
$6700 x 12 locations = $80400
or $6700 x 18 locations = $120600
Should we be conservative? Or shoot for the moon with 18 sites?
New Priority not in plan: Trail project in Marilla Park
Applicant: BOPARC
Total Project Costs: $20,000
Design and Construction Oversight: $4,000
BOPARC match: $800
Background: Ella Belling states that this project may be difficult or ineligible to obtain funding for due to ADA provisions that may have to be made for the trails to facilitate those with disabilities through gentler slopes, etc. Feasibility may be difficult, but she recommended looking into the Land and Water Conservation Fund for trailbuilding.
If this trail is intended as just a bike trail then I don't believe it has to meet ADA requirements. It only has to meet ADA if it is a hiking trail as well. Thanks,
