Bradford, Village Manager FROM: Gary Preston, Director of Public Works & Recreation �' DATE: September 7, 1990 SUBJECT: Cost Proposal for the Tequesta Drive Pathway As you are aware, the new Tequesta Drive Pathway from U.S. Highway One to the entrance of the Country Club has been placed in the Capital Improvement Program for completion in FY 90. Part of this pathway was completed during the Tequesta Drive Improvement Project and a total of three (3) sections remain for completion: Willow Road to Seabrook Road, Seabrook Road to Riverside Drive and Riverside Drive to Country Club Drive. As of this date, a total of $112,372 remains in the Park Land Contribution Fund for this project. I have received a cost estimate from the Palm Beach County contractor, R.W.S. Concrete Service, Inc., listing the cost for removal of the existing eighteen (18) year old asphalt pathway and the placement of a five (5) foot concrete pathway to be $104,100. Anticipated expenses for palm tree relocation, sod, property owner landscape relocation, and other miscellaneous cost will be an additional $26,000, bringing the total to $130,000. These additional expenses are necessary as the Village has always required the construction of all concrete pathways to be located on the property line. The expected cost and scenario for each section is as follows: Willow Road to Seabrook Road - The majority of this section of new pathway will be located on the north side of Tequesta Drive. A small portion of this pathway will be located on the south side of Tequesta Drive in front of Gallery Square South. The residents of Willow Road, Blair House East and West, have requested this pathway for several years end are pleased that the construction is forthcoming. Approximate cost for this section is $25,000. P. Recycled Paper TO: Thomas G. Bradford, Village Manager RE: Cost Proposal for the Tequesta Drive Pathway Page 2 - ------------------------------------------------- Seabrook Road to Riverside Drive - Completion of this section on the south side would require the removal of the existing asphalt pathway, which is presently in a deteriorated condition and lies in the swale area. Placing this section of pathway on the property line will prevent water and sand from accumulating and will allow a greater degree of safety for the users. I have talked to sixteen (16) of the twenty (20) homeowners along this section and the majority are disappointed that the pathway will be moved closer to their homes. Many of those who are against this change are fearful that the Village will soon widen Tequesta Drive to four lanes once the pathway is located on the property line. Some residents will attend the Council Meeting to express their concerns. A total of twenty (20) Royal Palms will need to be relocated approximately three (3) feet to allow room for the new pathway. Approximate cost for this section is $52,000. Riverside Drive to Country Club Drive - The majority of this section of pathway on the south side is in fair condition and was originally located on or near the property line and out of the swale area. A great deal of the expense in this section goes toward crossing the Tequesta Drive bridge. Approximate cost for this section is $53,000. The Village Council may wish to consider completing only the sections from Willow Road to Seabrook Road and Seabrook Road to Riverside Drive at a proposed cost of $77,000. This would leave $35,000 in the Park Land Contribution Fund to begin providing facilities at Constitution Park. Completion of the Riverside Drive - Country Club Drive pathway could be included in the Capital Improvement Program for FY 94 or FY 95. Please find attached the following items relative to the consideration of approval for this project. o Cost Proposal - Section by section o Cost Proposal for Pathway Removal and Construction from R.W.S.

My opinion is, that the primary benefits of this relocation is safety of the users of the bicycle path by relocating it away from traffic; an additional benefit of this decision will be to decrease future maintenance costs associated with maintaining a flexible pavement bike path near a drainage swale. Maintenance costs for a concrete path located on the right-of-way out of the drainage way will be significantly less in the long term. Hcwever, the primary benefit cf relocation of this bicycle path is to remove it a significant distance away from vehicular traffic on Tequesta Drive. We have also reviewed the bid price for this work and concur that the prices bid are reasonable. Please call if you have any further questions in this matter. Very truly yours, W. Richard Staudinger, P.E. WRS:ce # 90-004 cc: Tom Bradford, Village Manager brand fax transmittal memo 7671 J r or pages One Harvard Circle - West Palm Beach, Florida 33409-1923.407/683.3301 - FAX 407/686.7446 SYNOPSIS OF PROPOSED TEQUESTA DRIVE PATHWAY PROJECT o Project entails provision of a five (5) foot concrete pathway to be located at the edge of the right-of-way. o Placement at the edge of the right-of-way is for the purpose of enhancing pedestrian safety and swale drainage. o Concrete is recommended over asphalt due to the three (3) to four (4) times greater life expectancy. o The proposed pathway location will be on the north side of Tequesta Drive from Willow Road to Gallery Square North and on the south side of Tequesta Drive from Gallery Square South to Country Club Drive. o The estimated cost for pathway removal, construction, palm tree relocation, sod and miscellaneous expenses are: Willow Road to Seabrook Road $25,000 Seabrook Road to Riverside Drive $52,000 Riverside Drive to Country Club Drive $531000 o Funds for these recreational improvements3a1are from recreational impact fees, not taxes. Funds available in this account - $112,372. t� o Tequesta Drive is not contemplated for four ( 4 ) lapin S'Gkl `cS o All utility relocation are to be t done at ex expense of utility. � �� o Relocation of 29 Royal Palms to accommodate the new pathwa will be at Village expense. y o All areas will be restored to current conditions at Village expense, including sod and sprinkler system. o All landscape and other facilities on the proposed pathway route will be relocated at Village expense. o This pathway was brought to the attention of the residents at Budget Workshop Meetings in 1987 and 1989 and in the Village Newsletter in January 1990 and August 1990. o This project is a part of the Village's Recreation and Open Space element of the Comprehensive Plan. 10 Concrete pathways are presently located on the edge of the right-of-way in Shady Lane, Shay Place, Ridgewood Circle, Bayview Terrace, Tequesta Pines, Chapel Court, Key West Village and on Tequesta Drive. I am Muriel Panning and I have lived at 438 Tequesta Drive for ninteen years. I am speaking for the citizens of the Village of Tequesta to bring our problem to the attention of the 'Tillage Council (subject: Pathway on Tequesta Drive). This problem came to lightsome two weeks ago when we found stakes in our front yards (red ribbons attached). When the Village Hall was contacted, we discovered that a new 5 ft. concrete "pathway", not "sidewalk", not "bicycle" was to be installed not on the old path, but on the village property line. Most of us have spent thousands of dollars over the years watering and maintaining these properties. We were also told that 29 palms would be moved, light poles moved, water meters moved, sprinklers taken up and relocated, trees moved, the old path torn up and re -sodded, all at the expense of the Village. It is our understanding that the expense will be covered from the Recreation Dept. Budget (impact fees) and according to a Village spokesman "will not cost the residents a cent". 'We wonder how much money from impact fees does the Recreation Dept. actually have for this project. 'de, the residents feel this is an absolute waste of public money since the old path can be repaired etc. at a fraction of the cost of putting in a new path. According to figures in our possession the total cost is $130,00.00. No mention is made of removing and relocating light poles or removing and relocating water meters or other incidentals. A major charge not listed is the cost of Gee and Jensen plans. We feel the Village has acted in rather an under -hand way in not telling any of us what was happening until the stakes appeared. We are also rather mystified as to what has suddenly prompted the moving of the path. Attached to this statement is a Petition from the residents involved. im MRS. MURIAL MANNING MR. EDWARD F. WILLIAMS 438 Tequesta Drive 426 Tequesta Drive Tequesta, FL 33469 Tequesta, FL 33469 FROM: ATY. GILBERT T. BROPHY RE: Summary of Village of Tequesta, Pathway/Sidewalk 5' both sides of Tequesta Drive 80' Right of Way. See: Gee & Jensen Engineers Site Plan, 5' wide, 4" deep except at crossing, 6". On Thursday 6 SEP I met with Director of Public Works and Village Manager on the impending 5' Pathway for Tequesta Drive (TD), and Agenda item for 13 SEP Council Meeting. Summary is in gist and not quotes. MANAGER THOMAS G. BRADFORD (575-6200): By Village Standards, the pathway is at the R/W's end and against the Owner's Lot: Jupiter in Pines Sec. "B" PB 26, pg 18. Village changed from use of sidewalk to a broader definition--pathway--defined by Ordinance. Pathways were relocated from 19 year old bike path by Village Engineer Gee & Jensen, BECAUSE: 1. Proper Civil Engineering Standards 2. For safety of multiple users/pedestrians -- to further separate them from motor vehicles. 3. Increased Percolation in swale area. 4. Conformity with existing sidewalks on South Side of Tequesta Drive -- Saturn & Mars area. 5. Uniform 5' concrete Pathway on both sides of Tequesta Drive East, starting at Country Club gates to Willow Road. This TD improvement has been in capital plans for 3 years and 1990 is the year to implement it by approval of the Council this next Thursday 7PM, after the 1991 Budget Public Hearing. There is no available narrative on this proposal for distribution to residents. The file is iri Public Works and it is to be presented to Council by PW Director. Funds are from impact fees contributed by Developers. Above standards/criteria are in the Village Comprehensive Plan, consistent with the Code of Ordinances and Community Objectives. No Plans exist for four (4) laning TD. The Traffic Court and other Road performance standards as well as State concurrency law, must first be met before the 80' R/W may be 4 laned. In fact next year TD will be resurfaced as is. Projected life of Village's 2 lane bridge is about 15 years with inspections being carried out by DOT. P.W. DIRECTOR GARY PRESTON (575-6240): Subject Pathways are recreational in character ing mu tip a use. at ways are wide 4" deep except at Crossing, be 6" deep. Loaned the Gee & Jensen Site Plan -please return. Estimated costs below are from Park Land Contribution Fund, NOT residents' taxes. Pathway $104,000. Royal Palm Relocation 10,000. Sod 2,700. Approximate Mis. 13,300. Total .......... $130,000. w ENCON, FPL and other Utilities have been alerted and they will individually move their own equipment/poles/lines, etc. in the 80' R/W to accomodate the new 5' Concrete pathways. Individual trees/shrubs/planters of affected Property Owners will be relocated by Village. Damaged grass will be replaced by the Village. Existing concrete drives are not to be cut --match up from each side. Village representative will be out on the job to coordinate. By far, most of Owners he spoke with door to door were pleased with the proposal, and Mr. Preston hopes the support will be overwhelmingly favorable. E.G. Blair House Condo urged the installation of a Village Sidewalk. Reasons for the new location and justification of Pathways is: 1. Present blacktop bike path is deteriorated, some 18 years old. 2. In heavy rains, water brings sand onto the bike path, making it difficult to maintain a clean surface. 3. Old bike path is near edge of road; farther back is safer. 4. Swale area from Seabrook to Riverside on South side is a problem area and will be improved. Mr. Preston is unaware of any plan to widen TD. Assuming Council approves the plan, the pathways should be completed by Thanksgiving. Estimate for 29 Royal Palm to be moved is $330. each. RECOMMENDATIONS: 1. Obtain copy of Ordinance defining Pathway, and restrictions on use thereof. 2. Fzpert written Opinion from a Civil Engineer to determine the true total costs of this project; deliver to Manager. 3.
