(HLA) PROJECT DESCRIPTION Chanel Hill Boulevard LID Services (PROJECT Significant development is expected in the area south of 1-182 and north of West Argent Road, between Road 68 and Road 84. Chapel Hill Boulevard will provide major east -west access across the area, and Road 76 will extend from West Argent Road north the Chapel Hill Boulevard. The City of Pasco (City) desires to have these major streets constructed as a single project, rather than being constructed piecemeal as development occurs. The City would also like to have City utilities (water, sewer, and irrigation) extended as part of the project, as appropriate. Formation of a Local Improvement District (LID) is proposed as a funding mechanism for constructing the street and utility improvements as a complete project. Important elements of the LID process are estimating costs, determining the level of City financial participation in the project, and establishing an equitable method of assessment. The landowners are already working with a consulting engineer to prepare plans, specifications, and cost estimates. The City is evaluating its level of financial participation in the project, and considering factors such as upsizing to meet regional needs (e.g., increased pipe sizes or additional traffic lanes), and expanded benefits to the adjacent areas (e.g., improved water or irrigation service). The school district, the Department of Natural Resources (DNR), and other landowners have been contacted regarding the LID. SCOPE OF SERVICES: HLA Engineering and Land Surveying, Inc. (HLA), will assist City staff in working through the LID process. HLA's scope of services will include: Assist as follows with LID process steps: o Review property owner petition to form LID, if the Petition Method is used to form the LID. o Review SEPA Checklist and Environmental Determination. o Assist with development of the method of assessment and the equitable distribution of costs to the LID participants. o Provide recommendations regarding City financial participation in the project. o Assist with the preparation of the preliminary assessment roll, LID maps, and property owner notices. o Review resolutions and ordinances prepared as required for the LID. HLA will provide example documents if requested. o Review the tally of the written objections to the LID at the completion of the 30 -day protest period. o Review the bidding and award process to construct the improvements. o Review final project costs and assist with the preparation of the final assessment roll. Costs will be assessed to property owners using the method established for the preliminary assessment roll. • Attend meetings with property owners and developers. Prepare meeting materials as requested. Provide independent review of cost estimates.
