Back&round: A. Floodin~ on November 4, 1985, was a major disaster resulting in property damage to both private and public facilities. City Council concurred in October 1985, that the City Manager request the United States Army Corps of Engineers to conduct a feasibility study of the Peters Creek watershed to deter- mine the propriety of Federal participation in flood control improvements. City Council, on November 25, 1985, authorized the City Manager to transmit an updated letter of intent to the United States Army Corps of Engineers to cooperate with the Federal Government in initiating construction of the Roanoke River channelization as soon as possible. Resolution No. 27899, dated December 2, 1985, requested the United States Army Corps of Engineers to conduct appropriate studies for the purpose of identifying federal projects and programs for flood drainage reduction measures for Roanoke River tributaries which included Tinker Creek, Lick Run, Mud Lick Creek, Murray Run, Ore Branch and Craven's Creek. E. Corps of Engineers' stages of studies are as follows once a request is made by a locality: 1. Preliminary report determines if problems are of an extent to justify Federal participation. 2. Reconnaissance report is a windshield survey and sup- porting local data of stream damages. Feasibility study based on reconnaissance survey to determine if a project is feasible under Federal guide- lines. 4. Selective plan stage to show alternates to solve or reduce flood damages. 5. General Desi&n Memorandum (GDM) stage authorizes design and final plans of project. Page 2 II. Current Situation: A. Peters Creek: Feasibility study is well underway. Hydrologic and hydraulic computations are almost complete. City Engineers Office has supplied Corps of Engineers with supporting data, which included previous flood data, sewer, water and storm drain plans. Definite Project Report which is part of the feasibility study is to be completed in the fall of 1987 and sent to Atlanta District Office of the Corps of Engineers for their approval. This was status of Peters Creek as of October 21, 1986 as per letter to City from Lawrence W. Saunders, Chief Planning Division Department of the Army. Timing can be lengthy if the project proceeds to construction. The feasibility study is expected to be complete in the fall of 1987, with detailed studies taking another two years. If a project is then approved by all interested parties, an additional 11/2 - 2 years for final design and construction can be expected. Commitment of funds from the city should occur in fiscal year 1990-1991 if the project is to proceed. There will be no cost for the study. Construction cost should be based on two-thirds Federal, one-third City. Congress and City must approve funding before construction can begin. B. Roanoke River: Letter dated March 11, 1986, from Jaman Vithalani, P.E., Chief, Engineering Division, Corps of Engineers, indi- cated that the Roanoke River Project has advanced to the General Design Memorandum stage. This stage addresses the engineering and attendant requirements necessary to detail all preconstruction activities. Two requirements of this phase are additional land surveying and subsur- face investigations. City participation at this point requires that the City gain right of entry to all parcels along the river. City Engineer's office mailed forms to all affected property owners. Page 3 Be Corps of Engineers began subsurface investigations in August 1986 and have proceeded upstream from downstream of the Water Pollution Control Plant to Wiley Drive at South Roanoke Park. City Engineering staff, in November, at the request of the Corps of Engineers, set informal meetings with the City's Parks and Recreation Department, Roanoke River Foundation, and the Corps of Engineers Landscape Engineers to discuss each others concerns and plans. e Corps of Engineers scheduling indicates the General Design Memorandum should be approved in February, 1988, with possible advertisement of project in May, 1989. Construction time is expected to be approximately eighteen (18) months. Commitment of funds from the City will occur at two points in the scheduling if the project is to proceed. The first would occur in fiscal year 1987-1988. Letter dated April 29, 1986, from Lawrence W. Saunders, Chief, Planning Division, Department of the Army indicated that the design for Flood Proofing at Roanoke Memorial Hospital and Roanoke Sewage Treatment Plant would be 100% local cost. The City's design share based on a project cost of $647~000 would be $51~700.00 (8% of pro- ject cost). The second would occur in fiscal year 1988-1989. City's Funds would be required to begin purchase of Lands, Easements, Rights-of-Way, and Relocations (LERR). Corps of Engineers revised fact sheet (October 1986 prices) indicated LERR Cost of $6~471~000, with a cash contribution of $1,040~000, which is equal to five percent of the cost of the flood control features, and fifty percent of the cost of recreation features at $480~000, for a total of $7~991~000.00, rounded to $8,000,000.00. Ye City Council by Resolution No. 28254, dated July 14, 1986, expressed Council's opposition to any reduction in scope or increase in local cost in keeping with the Corps of Engineers Project as presented at the Public Hearing on November 2, 1983, less the Flood Warning System, which is proceeding on a separate track. This will keep the City's share at approximately $6~600~000. A letter on this position has been sent to the Corps of Engineers. C. Tinker Creek: 1. Preliminary report draft received July 31, 1986. This preliminary study is to determine if flood problems are Page 4 DJ of the nature and extent to justify Federal par- ticipation in making more detailed investigations of the flood problems and solutions to them. Glade Creek and Carvins Creek will be studied as part of this report. Pro~ect plan of this preliminary study was limited to channel improvements from the mouth of Tinker Creek at Roanoke River to Orange Avenue (U.S. Route 460). It consisted of a 75 foot wide channel, slightly higher than the existing stream bottom. Construction costs are estimated at $988,749.00 rounded to $1~000~000.00. Annual maintenance costs are estimated at $2,000.00 per mile, to be borne by the City. Preliminary report has been sent to Atlanta District Office of the Corps of Engineers for their approval. Once the preliminary report is approved, the Corps of Engineers will move to the reconnaissance study stage. This will call for a more detailed report of recommended solutions. The preliminary report was scheduled for completion in December 1986, but has not been received as of this date. Commitment of City funds for the study is anticipated to be considered in the fall of 1988. Total study to cost $250~000 prorated between City of Roanoke, Botetourt County and Roanoke County. Lick Run: Preliminary report draft received July 31, 1986. This preliminary study is to determine if flood problems are of the nature and extent sufficient to justify Federal participation in making more detailed investigation of the flood problems and solutions to them. Project plan consists of restricting flow through the box culverts under Washington Park, providing trash racks at the culverts to prevent clogging, acquiring land, necessary to temporarily store water detained by culvert modifications, removal of flood-prone homes in the 10th Street area, and floodproofing those units not affected by low-order floods. Construction costs are estimated at $970~000.00. Annual maintenance costs of $2m000.00 would be borne by the City if the project is completed. Preliminary report has been sent to Atlanta District office of the Corps of Engineers for their approval. Once the preliminary report is approved, the Corps of Engineers will move to the reconnaissance study stage. Page 5 III. WRH/VRD/mm CC: This will call for a more detailed report of recommended solutions. The preliminary report was scheduled for completion in December 1986, but has not been received as of this date. Letter dated October 22, 1986, from Lawrence W. Saunders, Chief, Planning Division, Corps of Engineers, indicates that if a federally cost shared project can be developed for Lick Run, the land purchased by the City may ultimately be counted as part of the City's contri- bution to overall project cost. Commitment of City funds for the study is anticipated to be considered in the fall of 1988. Cost of this study would normally be $250~000, but since the City is in the progress of doing some of the improvements, a cost for the study cannot be determined at this time. E. Mud Lick Creek~ Murray Run~ Ore Banch and Craven's Creek: Preliminary report indicates these streams do not have project potential. They are regarded as having only marginal project potential. This means that the esti- mated cost of improvements is more than the benefits to be derived. Therefore Federal participation and study will not proceed. Council will be advised upon receiving further data from the Corps of Engineers. Respectfully submitted, W.

BOX 1890 WILMINGTON, NORTH CAROLINA 28402-1890 October 21, 1986 Dear Mr. Clark: This letter is to provide a status report on the Peters Creek study as you requested on October 7, 1986, when we presented the results of preliminary planning on the Roanoke Valley tributaries. The Peters Creek study is well underway. Hydrologic and hydraulic computations, wh/ch must be completed before computa- tions in other areas can begin, are almost complete. We expect to complete the Defisite Project Report nex~ fall and send it to Atlanta for approval. While ~ guarantee of a project finally being developed can be made, we would like to thank the city of Roanoke for providing full cooperation in the ongoing study process. We cannot think of anything more that the city can do to expedite the project study at this time. When the need arises for further assistance from the city, we are sure you w/ll respond immediately, as you have in the past, to assare that study com- pletion occurs as fast as is reasonably possible. Thank you for your continued assistance, and we hope to have the Definite Project Report (s-me as the Detailed Project Report) completed by next fall.

Roanoke, Virginia February 2, 1987 Honorable Mayor and City Council Roanoke, Virginia Dear Members of Council: Subject: Traffic Signal Contributions for the Intersection of Orange Avenue and King Street, N.E. I. Background on this subject is: City Council approved rezoning request of Bland A. Painter, III (Ordinance No. 24626) on May 29, 1979, which enabled the development of the Ivy Ridge Shopping Center presently located at the southeast corner of the Orange Avenue/King Street intersection. Rezonin8 petition filed by Mr. Painter states that "at such time as the City Traffic Engineer determines that signaliza- tion at the intersection of Orange Avenue and King Street, N.E. is necessary, petitioner agrees to share the cost of signalization with the City of Roanoke and with other land- owners in the area who would potentially benefit from signalization. Petitioner's share of the cost shall be negotiable at the time of signalization but in no event shall it exceed fifty percent of the cost of signalization." C. Traffic ~rowth in recent years made necessary the signaliza- tion of the Orange Avenue/King Street intersection. II. Current situation on this subject is: Traffic signal went into operation on August 29, 1986, the total cost of which was approximately $65~000.00, not counting the City employee labor which has been involved. Owners of properties in the vicinity of this intersection who would likely benefit from the traffic signal inter- section were contacted by letter, and were asked to consider financial contributions toward the signalization equipment. Page 2 C. Contributors and the amounts received to date are: 1. Painter & Painter $5,000.00 2. Lowe's Companies, Inc. 5,000.00 3. Colonial American National Bank 750.00 4. FiberCom, Inc. 500.00 5. McDonalds Corporation 5,000.00 III. Recommendation is that City Council send a resolution of appreciation to the businesses that have contributed to the signalization of this intersection.

Recommendation is that City Council approve the recommendation of the Bid Committee report. Respectfully submitted, W. Robert Herbert City Manager WRH/JGB/mm CC: City Attorney Director of Finance Director of Public Works City Engineer Roanoke, Virginia February 2, 1987 Honorable Mayor and City Council Roanoke, Virginia Dear Members of Council: Subject: Bids for New Concrete Sidewalks, Entrances, Curb and Gutter (Bond Issue - Phase II) I. Background on the project includes: New concrete sidewalks~ entrances~ curb and ~utter improve- ments are to be constructed throughout the City as part of the 1985 Bond Referendum. City Council at its November 10, 1986, meeting concurred in the City Manager's recommendation for authorization to proceed with advertisement of the second phase of these improvements, shown on Attachment A. Bids were received by City Council at its January 12, 1987, meeting, publicly opened, and read aloud for New Concrete Sidewalks, Entrances, Curb and Gutter. Three (3) bids were received and referred to the bid committee for review and report back to Council. D. Low bid, in the amount of $320,055.00 was submitted by H & S Construction Co. II. Issues in order of importance: A. Compliance of the bidders with requirements of the contract documents. B. Amount of the low bid. C. Funding for construction. D. Time of completion. Page 2 III. Alternatives in order of recommendation are: Award the contract to H & S Construction Co. in the sum of $320,055.00 and establish a contingency in the amount of $16,000.00 in a form acceptable to the Director of Finance. 1. Compliance of the bidder with the requirements of the contract documents was met. 2. Amount of the low bid is acceptable. The low bid is less than the project estimate of $400,000.00. e Fundin~ for the proposed contract amount is available in the Public Improvement Bond-Series 1985 - Streets and Bridges Account No. 008-052-9577-9181. 4. Time of completion of the project is 210 calendar days. Be Reject the three (3) bids received and do not construct new concrete sidewalks, entrances, curb and gutter at this time. Re-evaluate the project for future rebidding. 1. Compliance with requirements of the contract documents would not be an issue. 2. Amount of the bid price would probably be higher if bid at a later date. 3. Fundin~ would not be spent at this time. Time for completion of the project would be delayed, jeopardizing our ability to expend the bond money designated for these improvements within the necessary timeframe. IV. Recommendation is that City Council take the following action: Approve Alternative "A" and award the contract to H & S Construction Co. in the sum of $320~055.00 and establish a contingency in the amount of $16~000.00 for a total not to exceed $336~055.00. Be Transfer $336,055.00 from the 1985 Series of Public Improvement Bonds Streets and Bridges category, Account No. 008-052-9577-9181 to an account to be established by the Director of Finance. C.
