Ms. Mehelich December 24, 2003 Page Two reference, the pedestrian bridge over TH 169 is 12 feet in width. The style of the pedestrian bridge over TH 10 that we have estimated is similar to the bridge over TH 169 in that it is a concrete through-girder design. Assuming a 15 percent contingency, and 28 percent for overhead items, we have estimated the total project cost for the pedestrian bridge at$570,000. Obviously, there are several other alternative locations and other options that could be utilized in the design. For example, extending the bridge beyond the railroad tracks and having another access point there or potentially having the pedestrian bridge providing direct access into the proposed building at the corner of Jackson Street and TH 10. B. Demolition of the Elk River Municipal Utilities Building In order to get a reasonable estimate of the cost of demolition of the Elk River Municipal Utilities building, I contacted Scott Lodico of Veit Environmental, Inc., and Steve Hosier of Veit and Company, Inc. On Monday, December 1, 2003, I met Mr. Lodico and Mr. Hosier at the Elk River Municipal Utility Building. We briefly toured the building and inspected its construction. Mr. Lodico put together the attached proposal for demolition of the building. He has estimated the demolition cost at $26,000 and $30,000. The big unknown in his cost estimate is how much asbestos abatement will need to be done prior to demolition. When the building is ready to be removed, an asbestos building survey will need to be ID accomplished. The estimated cost of this survey is $1,000. Mr. Lodico has provided a range of abatement costs, depending on what the asbestos survey would find. He has given a range of $13,000 to $28,000. Therefore, the total estimated cost of asbestos abatement and demolition of the building would be between a low of$40,000 to a high of $60,000. C. King Avenue Parking Lot Improvements As directed, we have prepared a preliminary design for the expansion of the King Avenue parking area, assuming the removal of the Elk River Municipal Utilities building. Attached is Sheet 4 of that preliminary design, which shows the final configuration of the parking area. The configuration was modeled after a layout prepared by Chris Leeseberg of the Planning Department. The design assumes that the access to TH 10 from King Avenue will be closed, and that head-in parking utilizing a portion of the school district property will be constructed on the west side of King Avenue. The shaded area on the plan sheet is the bituminous that would be replaced. The unshaded areas are existing bituminous surfaces that we believe will be able to be saved and utilized for parking in its current condition. We have assumed some new lighting in the parking area but no new landscaping. Based on this preliminary design, the construction cost is estimated at approximately$125,000. The plan provides approximately 45 to 50 additional parking stalls. D. Project Schedule One of the things that I have been asked to estimate is what would be the total • construction time frame for the Elk River Municipal Utility building asbestos abatement, demolition, and King Avenue parking lot improvements.
