City of Missoula, Montana Item to be Referred to City Council Committee Committee: Public Works Committee Item: Special State Projects FY 10 Russell Street: North Ave through Longstaff, mill and pave Date: June 2, 2009 Prepared by: Brian Hensel Initiated by: Brian Hensel Action Required: Approve and authorize the Mayor to sign an agreement with Montana Department of Transportation (MDT) for City of Missoula Street Maintenance Division to perform large scale paving projects on State Routes as described on the attached Appendix C and in accordance with our state route maintenance contract. Recommended Motion: The committee recommends the City Council approve and authorize the Mayor to sign Appendix C of the State Route Maintenance Contract. Timeline: Referral to committee: June 8, 2009 Committee discussion: June 17, 2009 Background and Alternatives Explored: In the past the City of Missoula and MDT have annually performed large scale street maintenance projects on State routes within City limits. These projects are permissible under our maintenance contract between MDT and the City. Financial Implications: These projects provide an opportunity for the City and MDT to benefit by improvements realized by a new street surface on busy routes within City limits. These special projects short-cut the complicated and protracted process normally associated with State contract work. MDT compensates the City for all work performed including labor, equipment costs, materials, and sub-contractors. Attachments: Appendix C (FY 10)
