� <br /> � profiles and access road connections for all six (6) alternates. In addition, it was recognized in <br /> the course of the study that it was important to determine how the six (6) alternates tie into the <br /> overall roadway system for this area to ensure overall continuity. The added work has required <br /> HLC to expend more time than originally estimated for the study. For this reason HLC has <br /> asked for an amendment to the agreement to offset its additional costs. <br /> The additional cost associated for increasing from three (3) to six (6) alternates is $10,210. <br /> This increases the agreement amount from $39,779 to $49,989. This matter has been <br /> discussed with the Forsyth Village Administrator, who is in agreement with recommending the <br /> increase in the agreement amount. The grant will pay for 80 percent ($8,168) and the City and <br /> Village will each pay 10 percent ($1,021) of this additional cost. <br /> When the feasibility study is completed the next step in the process will be to have an <br /> Intersection Design Study (IDS) completed. This study will determine the design details for the <br /> intersection and is required by IDOT prior to proceeding with final design and construction. <br /> POTENTIAL OBJECTION: No known objectors. <br /> INPUT FROM OTHER SOURCES: <br /> Input on this matter was obtained from Cheryl Lehman, Village of Forsyth Administrator, and <br /> Gregg Foltz of Homer L. Chastain &Associates. <br /> STAFF REFERENCE: <br /> The Director of Engineering and Infrastructure, Steve Swanson, will be in attendance at the City <br /> Council meeting to answer any questions of the Council on this item. <br /> BUDGET/TIME IMPLICATIONS: <br /> This project was not budgeted in the City's FY 03-04 Capital Improvements Fund. The City's <br /> share for the remaining amount of about$1,200 for this study will be available in <br /> the Capital Projects Fund through savings on other projects by the end of the Fiscal Year. <br /> The study is expected to be completed by July of this year. <br /> attach: 7 <br /> cc: John Smith, Assistant City Manager of Public Services <br /> Matt Newell, City Engineer <br /> Phil Wilhelm, Municipal Services Manager <br />
