MEMORANDUM u I TO: Don Ashworth, City Manager

DATE: March 7, 1990
SUBJ: Accept Feasibility Study for Country Suites Hotel Site Project No. 89-25;
Waive Public Hearing; Order Plans and Specifications; Approve Plans and
Specifications and Authorize Advertising for Bids
The attached feasibility study covers the utility and surface improvements for
the Country Hospitality Suite Hotel site located in the southeast corner of
Market Boulevard and West 78th Street. The improvements scheduled for the site
include storm sewer, watermain, sanitary sewer, bituminous paving and concrete
curb and gutter, concrete sidewalks and site lighting. These elements are being
closely coordinated obviously with the Country Suites construction which is
currently underway.
The total project cost including 30% overhead is estimated in the feasibility
study to be $311,000. This figure has been adjusted dawn somewhat in the plans
and specifications phase to $304,400. These costs are proposed to be assessed
' entirely against the benefitting properties which are owned by Bloomberg
Canpanies, Inc. and CH Suites Partners. As noted in the appendix to the
feasibility study, both property owners have executed development contracts on
' file with the City waiving their public hearing and assessment contention rights.
The attached plans were prepared in concert with the developer's staff on the
hotel site. Minor modifications still need to be done to these plans to reflect
the bus access issue recently resolved with the developer. This will be
completed before the plan sets are distributed to bidders.
Although unusual, it appears that all elements of the project are in order for
the Council to entertain a recamiendation to accept the feasibility study, waive
the public hearing, order plans and specifications, approve plans and
specifications, and authorize advertising for bids for the Country Suites Hotel
Site Improvement Project No. 89-25.

IRE: City Project 89-25
IDear Gary,
We are currently completing the plans and specifications for the construction of
site improvements for the Country Hospitality Suites development. The plans and
II specifications detail the requirements for the construction of storm sewer, san-
itary sewer, and water main utilities to serve the site, as well as bituminous
paving, sidewalk construction, and site lighting. Existing building demolition,
I miscellaneous removals, site grading, and other related work are not included as
a part of the scope of this project since this work will be performed by the
site developer as required by the redevelopment agreements with the City. A
more detailed description of the work to be performed by the developer and by
IIthe City is provided in our March 1990 feasibility report for the improvements.
We have completed an Engineer's Estimate for the project as summarized below.
II The project cost estimate previously prepared for the feasibility study is also
shown for your information and comparison.
