RECOMMENDED CITY COUNCIL ACTION:

ITEM SUMMARY:
· This Resolution approves a list of neighborhood streets east of US 75 to be included in the 2014-2016 Infrastructure Initiative program.
· The Capital Improvement Program includes $7 million for the 2014-2016 Infrastructure Initiative Program. Staff recommends proceeding with the following projects:
o Cole Street: located southwest of the Town Center and bounded by Bass Street and College Street. Estimated cost $1.7 million.
o Hall Street: located northwest of the Town Center and bounded by Graves Street and College Street. Estimated cost $2.2 million.
o Railroad, Murray, Kincaide, and Bumpas Streets: located southeast of the Town Center and bounded by Fitzhugh Street and Anthony Street. Estimated cost $3.1 million.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
· The Infrastructure Initiative program began in 1999 to rebuild streets, water mains, and sewer lines and to improve drainage in the portion of McKinney located east of US 75.
· Previous phases of the Infrastructure Initiative program have had individual projects recommended by the 1999, 2002, and 2006 Bond Committees. The 2010 Bond Committee did not recommend a list of individual projects.
· Staff from Engineering and Public Works reviewed the 2011 Pavement Management Report by Fugro Consultants, Inc., which included pavement condition ratings for all roadways within McKinney and a work plan to prioritize roadway maintenance. Staff also reviewed requests for street reconstruction received from citizens.
· Potential projects were reviewed by staff and were considered using the following criteria:
o Geographical Distribution: recommend projects that are distributed evenly among the neighborhoods located east of US 75.
o Pavement Condition: recommend projects with poor pavement condition that were recommended for full reconstruction by the Fugro work plan.
o Downstream Storm Water Capacity: recommend projects that have adequate downstream storm water capacity.
o Storm Water Conveyance Method: recommend projects that do not currently have enclosed storm sewer systems.
o Utility Condition: recommend projects with poor water/sewer condition based on repair history and staff knowledge.
o Property Density: recommend projects with greater density of immediately adjacent properties.
o Roadway Network: recommend projects that provide connectivity beyond the immediately adjacent properties.
· The attached matrix demonstrates the relative ranking of the three recommended projects compared to other potential projects.
FINANCIAL SUMMARY:
· No expenditures are authorized by this Resolution.
· Individual design contracts will be negotiated with qualified engineering firms and presented to City Council for approval at a later date.
BOARD OR COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
