REQUESTING LOCAL GOVERNMENT MUNICIPALITY Village of Oxford CONTACT PERSON Joseph M. Madore TELEPHONE NUMBER 248-628-2543 STREET ADDRESS 22 West Burdick Street CITY/ZIP Oxford, MI 48371 E-MAIL ADDRESS manager©thevillageofoxford.or g PROJECT INFORMATION SHORT DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT 2" Mill and resurface of approximately 2300 feet of of West Burdick street. Skip milling could be considered as an option for some of the overall footage covered by the project ROAD/ROAD(S) TO BE IMPROVED West Burdick Street from M-24 west to West Street ending approximately at the Village of Oxford boundary with Oxford Township. DESCRIPTION The proposed mill and resurface project roadway in within the Village boundaries and is the primary connector road between Rochester Road at the east to M15 on the west connecting Addison Township, Oxford Township and Brandon Township. This road surface is deteriorating and due to the high use for commuters coming into the Downtown area the traffic is only going to increase over time. I recently came to the Village Manager position at the end of 2017. Due to the long period of time without a full time Manager here at the Village there is a lot work to catch up on. My biggest concern is to get the Village budget redone and in place. Due to the amount of work to be caught up at the Village I'd prefer to not also add a road project to the list for the 2018 season. I am respectfully requesting that our project be put into the County LRIP, but that we allow this years funds to be accrued until the 2019 construction season at which time we will be in a much better place to take on and complete this much needed road project. The Village would hate to miss out on an opportunity to utilize its allocated funding, however there is just too much change and updating taking place at this time to adequately manage this project in 2018. A lot of time, energy, effort and funding has already taken place here at the Village regarding the planning and engineering for the M-24 MDOT project. Now that the M-24 project is firmly slated for the 2020 season we are even more eager to get the repairs done on West Burdick street. There will be a lot of traffic pattern changes during the 2020 construction of the M-24 project. The Burdick street/Lakeville road connection will be even more valuable to commuters and this is why we want to get the much needed repairs done in 2019. PROJECT BUDGET FUNDING REQUESTED FOCAL MATCH TOTAL PROJECT BUDGET 2017 - $6,503 I $40,000+ $56,754 2018- $10,251 CIESCRiPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT EXPENDITURES The project will be bid out and performed by outside contractors. The expenditures will include cost for engineering, labor and materials as well as some cost for the DPW for doing some traffic control and placing of barriers, ECONOMIC IMPACT OF PROJECT The Local Road Improvement Pilot Program has been established under MCL 123.872, the Gifts of Property Act, which provides that "A county may grant or loan funds to a township. village, or city located within that county for the purpose of encouraging and assisting businesses to locate and expand within the county." DESCRIBE HOW THE PROJECT MEETS THE STATUTORY REQUIREMENT OF ENCOURAGING AND ASSISTING BUSINESS TO LOCATE AND EXPAND IN THE COUNTY As stated earlier, the proposed mill and resurface project roadway in the Village boundaries is also the primary connector road between Rochester Road at the east to M15 on the west connecting Addison Township, Oxford Township and Brandon Township. This roadway to not only the Village and access to M24 and then to 175 and 169 is of major economic impact for the entire north Oakland area, With the 2020 M-24 project taking place the newly improved highway surface coupled with the updates the Village ODA is doing in the downtown corridor will make the downtown even more attractive to business owners and visitors alike. The proposed improvements in 2019 to the connector road of west Burdick Street (Seymore lake road) will improve the ability to commute to our newly renovated streetscape In the downtown business district. In my short time here at the Village! have seen a couple business owners retire or leave. In that same time I have seen a number of new businesses open and some buildings are undergoing renovations for new businesses at this time. It is encouraging to see the excitement but there is also some concern regarding the disruption that the 2020 project will bring. If we can get the proposed improvements completed in 2019 I think that will send a positive message that progress is coming and that in the end we will be in a great place. OPTIONAL MULTI-YEAR PROJECT PLAN The Local Road Improvement Program has been expressly established as a pilot program. There is no guarantee the program will be continued from year to year. The Local Road Improvement Program Subcommittee recognizes that the allocation authorized for local governments may not provide adequate funding in a single year to allow a project to move forward, Local governments shall be offered the opportunity to submit project plans that would necessitate the accumulation of multiple years of the community's allocation amount to fulfill the County's share of a project budget A multi-yearprotect plan submittal shall not exceed two years in duration. The allocation amount available to each community is subject to change annually based upon the factors utilized in the distribution formula. Consideration of multi-year project plans does not obligate Oakland County in any way to fund any project or program in the future. These plans are meant to be utilized for planning purposes and for consideration by the Oakland County Board of Commissioners to authorize a limited carryover of a community's allocation year to year.
