COUNCIL MINUTESTUESDAY 26 FEBRUARY 2013DETAILS:Item (i) was progressed by developing detailed plans for two pedestrian crossings on LakeMonger Drive. The first is east of St Vincents Avenue (Plan No. E309-11-01) and the second iswest of Northwood Street (Plan No. E309-11-02). These plans are an Attachment to the report.Item (ii) was progressed by including $150,000 in the 2012/13 Budget for constructing the twocrossings and obtaining Main Roads WA approval for the line marking and sign plan for the twocrossings. The estimated cost of each crossing was $75,000.During the construction planning phase, several problems have become apparent which havehad a significant variation on the budget required:-1. Three street light poles at each crossing site require relocation to provide the minimum 1metre clearance required by Western Power. The underground power line that connectsbetween these street light poles also requires relocation away from the road works.Western Power has provided an estimated cost of $28,500 and $36,000 for the two sites.The Town had budgeted to relocate similar street light poles for $1,500 - $2,000 each.2. The costs of traffic management, asphalt, kerbing, stencil paving and road-base in 2013have increased approximately 10% – 20% since the last report in 2011.3. The cost of disposal of spoil from the road widening has increased significantly since2011. There is a total of 1,225 tonnes of soil and turf that will be disposed to landfill.These materials can be separated and screened and disposed at $40 per tonne. Thiscost is $20,000 and $30,000 for two sites.4. Road works on Lake Monger Drive will be slowed by the volume of traffic and restrictedworking times.The current estimates for constructing these two crossings are:-• Crossing 1 east of St Vincents Avenue: $160,000 with no contingency; and• Crossing 2 west of Northwood Street: $180,000 with no contingency.In view of the significant increase in project costs since the last report in November 2011, it isprudent to reconsider whether both pedestrians crossings are constructed.To construct Crossing 1 only will require additional funding of $10,000.To construct Crossing 2 only will require additional funding of $30,000.To construct both Crossing 1 and 2 will require additional funding of $190,000.The additional funding may be obtained from the following completed projects that are fundedin the current budget and are under budget:-• Cambridge Street /Southport Street intersection - revise traffic signal phasing $24,000;• The Boulevard - Wembley Golf Course Entry - $52,000;• Bath Street – resurfacing - $9,000;• Dunblane Road – resurfacing $56,000;• Oakdale Street – resurfacing $40,000; and• Veryard Terrace - resurfacing $9,000.The total funds available from these sources are $190,000.H:\CEO\GOV\COUNCIL MINUTES\13 MINUTES\FEBRUARY 2013\C CR.DOCX 136
