BACKGROUND/HISTORY
City Council and staff have made it a priority to improve Medical Center Drive as the current roadway is in poor condition which results in ongoing complaints from motorists and Platte Valley Medical Center. Staff received direction and approval from City Council on September 3, 2019 in the form of a resolution to draft agreements with the two developers of the adjoining properties to reimburse the City for their proportionate costs. At this time, the final agreements were recently signed by the responsible parties, THF ($441,000) and Flywheel Holdings, L.L.C. ($220,000)
This project consists of completing an existing roadway including pavement markings, milling, patching, striping, public information, and all other work associated to complete the project, where any items not specifically identified are considered inherent to the work.
