TITLE
A RESOLUTION APPROVING AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF
PUEBLO AND SHORT ELLIOTT HENDRICKSON, INC., FOR PROFESSIONAL
SERVICES ASSOCIATED WITH THE DILLON DRIVE /1 -25 OVERPASS "AIR -
RIGHTS PERMIT" STUDY — PROJECT NO. 07 -054 (DT0802)
ISSUE
Should the City Council enter into an agreement with Short Elliott Hendrickson,
Inc., for the purpose of performing professional services associated with the
Dillon Drive /1 -25 Overpass "Air- Rights Permit" Study.
RECOMMENDATION
Approval of this Resolution.
BACKGROUND
Recent growth on the City of Pueblo's north side adjacent to 1 -25 will necessitate
the connection of Dillon Drive across the interstate at approximately Mile Post
103 with the potential for a future connecting interchange. The "Air- Rights
Permit' Study is the first step in the process of creating a new flyover and is
necessary to obtain the required permit from CDOT. The long -range
transportation plan is to provide for a split diamond interchange at Dillon Drive
and I -25.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The City has received a grant from the Federal Highway Administration for
$5.427 million to pay for the study and design of a flyover and to construct that
portion of the flyover with the remaining funds. A concurrent Council action
approves the acceptance of said grant of up to $800,000 and transfers a
previously authorized $200,000 (Ordinance No. 7464 dated August 13, 2007)
from the City's Reserve Account Fund into the project account (DT0802). The
grant has a 20% local agency (City) match requirement. The City's 20% match
for the study will initially be funded from the General Fund Reserves Account,
however revenues from the North Pueblo Urban Renewal Project Tax Increment
Financing (TIF) will be used to reimburse the general fund, subject to approval by
the Urban Renewal Authority.
The cost for the study by a consultant will be negotiated as required by Federal
and State statutes and is currently estimated at roughly $830,000. If the cost of
the study exceeds the amount of funds available from the City's match and that
portion of the Federal grant encumbered by the ordinance, then the City will then
seek additional monies from the General Fund Reserves as 20% match for
additional grant funds.
