RECOMMENDATION(S): (CONT'D)

DIRECT the Director of Department of Conservation and Development to file a Notice of Exemption with the County Clerk, and

AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to arrange for payment of a $25 fee to the Department of Conservation and Development for processing, and a $50 fee to the County Clerk for filing the Notice of Exemption.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Estimated Project cost: $920,800. 82.6% Highway Safety Improvement Program Funds, 17.4% Local Road Funds.

BACKGROUND:

The purpose of this Project is to provide systemic safety improvements to deter speeding along this stretch of the roadway and as such improve driver safety. The improvements include installation of rumble strips and delineators along the center of the road, reconstruction of the median, upgrades and replacement of signage for improved visibility, installation of speed advisory signs, and a surface overlay to preserve the integrity of the roadway. Project construction is expected to occur in spring 2020 and take approximately 30 working days to complete.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Delay in approving the project may result in a delay of design, construction, and may jeopardize funding.
