ORDINANCE No. 177137

*Amend intergovernmental agreement with Oregon Department of Transportation and City of Milwaukie to increase the not to exceed cost of right-of-way acquisition services for Johnson Creek Boulevard Street Improvement Project. (Ordinance; amend Contract 51929)

The City of Portland ordains:        

Section 1.  The Council finds:

1.  The City of Portland and the City of Milwaukie are jointly developing a street improvement project on Johnson Creek Boulevard from 32nd to 45th streets. The City of Portland Bureau of Transportation Engineering and Development is providing project management and design services for the project.

2.  The first phase of the project from 32nd to 36th streets was constructed in 1996; the second phase, which constructed stormwater and sanitary sewers, was constructed in 1999. The third phase of the project will be constructed in the summer of 2003.

3.  The project is funded by Federal Surface Transportation Program Funds administered by the Oregon Department of Transportation. The total cost of the project $2,340,000. The City of Portland and City of Milwaukie are sharing the local match per agreement No. 19723.

4.  The project will require the acquisition of right-of-way from the adjacent properties, in order to provide adequate width sidewalks and bikelanes.

5.  On June 5, 2002, Council passed Ordinance No 176551, which provided funds to the Oregon Department of Transportation's Right-of-Way Division to purchase right-of-way for the project.

6.  This Amendment will modify the total cost of right-of-way acquisition from $390,000 to $465,000 to accommodate additional right-of-way acquisition and increase right-of-way costs.

NOW, THEREFORE, the Council directs:

a.  The Commissioner of Public Utilities and the Auditor are authorized to sign an Intergovernmental Agreement, similar in form to the agreement attached to the original of this ordinance and by this reference made a part hereof, to provide for construction of the Johnson Creek Boulevard Transportation Improvement Project with the City of Milwaukie and the Oregon Department of Transportation to provide right-of-way acquisition services for the Johnson Creek Boulevard Improvement Project.

Section 2. The Council declares that an emergency exists because delay in completing this agreement could result in a delay in the construction of the project; therefore, this Ordinance shall be in full force and effect from and after its passage by the Council.

Passed by the Council, DEC 18 2002
