PURPOSE:
City Council approval is requested for a reimbursement agreement with PART for additional improvements to Brush Road performed as part of the construction of the Coble Intermodal Transportation Center.
BACKGROUND:
The Piedmont Authority for Regional Transportation (PART) is overseeing construction of the new Coble Intermodal Transportation Center (ITC) at 8300 W. Market Street. Construction of the site requires the milling, paving, and widening of Brush Road. During the initial construction, it was discovered the existing pavement structure was insufficient to handle the heavy vehicle loading. The consultant engineer determined that the entire roadway needed to be removed and reconstructed in order to adequately accommodate future traffic. The total cost to perform the additional repair is $164,484.00. PART has approached the city and requested participation in the amount of one-half of the additional repair cost. Payment is to be made after all road construction is complete, subject to inspection and approval by the City of Greensboro Engineering & Inspections Department. Brush Road is a municipally-owned street for which the City will be responsible for maintaining after the ITC is completed and finds the additional costs to be reasonable and in the best interest of all parties to construct a long-lasting paved street.
