City of Omaha n Robert G. Stubbe, P.E.
Jean Stothert,Mayor Public Works Director
Honorable President
and Members of the City Council,
Transmitted herewith is a Resolution approving a waiver of current City policy regarding
neighborhood street resurfacing for RMD 745-25, commonly known as the Rockbrook Area
Road Maintenance District, incorporating various sections of: Rockbrook Road, South 102nd
Street, South 101 st Avenue, South 99th Avenue, Pinehurst Circle, Woodridge Lane, and South
97th Avenue; all being north of West Center Road.
Current City policy would require the abutting property owners to cover all of the costs to
resurface a deteriorating neighborhood street. However, the Administration is requesting a
waiver to this policy in order for the City to contribute 50% of the costs of this improvement.
This overlay would not include any significant changes to the grade and elevation of the
roadway, would not include significant drainage improvements (unless paid for by the
homeowners), and would not include curbing or sidewalks.
The scope and requirements to complete the work designed for RMD 745-25 have been finalized
via a change order to an existing contract with Western Engineering Company, Incorporated, for
$522,803.95; which was adopted by the Omaha City Council by Resolution 1048 on July 26,
2016. The costs of this project would be paid from the Capital Special Assessment Fund 13573.
The Capital Special Assessment funding will be provided in part by a Special Assessment of
residents from this community.
The Public Works Department requests your consideration and approval of the attached
Resolution.
Respectfully submitted, Referred to City Council for Consideration:
