Porter 4 U Proposal to Rexburg City Council December 6, 1978 We hereby propose to the Rexburg City Council that 2nd West be built to a 34' width between 5th South and 7th South under an extension of "the current 7th South contract of H&K Construction and that funds that were to be used to extend 7th South between 1st and 2nd West be used to extend 2nd West. By doing this now the following benefits would be realized: 1. The congestion on 4th South and 2nd West would be relieved. 2. The Armory would have improved access. 3. The cost and time to extend 2nd West to the South Arterial street being discussed would be reduced. K� As property owners we would be willing to do the following in order to expedite the completion of the road: 1. Donate the right-of-way for a 60' 2nd West road to eventually be built from 5th South to 7th South. 2. Pay for the cost of the curb and gutter for the 60' road when it is installed. 3. Pay the additional costs of $15,568.00 to build 2nd West between 5th South and 7th South to a 34' width less any savings in construction costs. According to Mr. Earl Kemp of Forsgren and Perkins the $15,568.00 figure is determined as shown on Attachment No. 1. Ricks College has given its endorsement of the 2nd West extension and is willing to share in the costs. Mr. Grant Bowen and Mr. Levi Thomason have also agreed to the proposals outlined by signing this statement. Mr. Sylvan Seely and Mr. Robert R. Lee as trustees of the Gem State Irrigation Pension Trust which owns frontage and also as private land owners also agree to the proposals outlined and have signed this statement. We urge the Rexburg City Council to approve this proposal so that the 2nd West extension can be built under the current contract with H&K Construction. Sincerely, ' Robert R. Lee Sylvan F.

This letter is to indicate our approval of that proposal. We have been told that the property owners involved would be willing to assist financially in this development. We also would be willing to pay for the cost of paving the approximate 99 feet owned by Ricks College. Because our Board of Trustees rather strongly object to extending 7th South to 1st West, this proposal would help solve a problem for both the college and the city. Where 2nd West is already a main artery into the city, it seems much more logical to use this route, rather than routing traffic onto to 1st West where student safety becomes a concern.

I contacted Ned Sauer of H -K Contractors and he indicated he had offered to do that half of the street for Jack for $5.90 per yard, which is approximately the same cost as the unit quantity cost of the LID. Jack Randall said no that he would not do it for that price, but that he would do it for $4.90 per yard. H -K said they would not do it fbr that price. H -K then requested direction as to what to do -with Shoshone Road. I contacted Mayor Porter and he indicated that when Jack Randall was removed from the LID, it was with the agreement that he would put in curb and gutter himself, and that he would pay the LID prices plus engineering to be done with the LID for the road. Because of this the Mayor directed me to tell H -K to go ahead and do all of Shoshone; it was not Jack Randall's road, that it was a city road, and that they were to put it in as if it were part of the LID. The Mayor then directed me to get a cost for putting in half of the road and the cost for engineering on that half of the road which he would submit to Jack Randall in the form of a bill. He indicated to me that if Jack Randall did not pay this, as the City Council minutes indicated he had promised, then the City would sue him. I then met with Jack Randall and his attorney, Roger Hoopes, and Ned Sauer. It was agreed in this meeting, after reading the City Council minutes, that Jack would pay the LID unit quantity prices plus engineering for the west half of Shoshone. H -K was instructed to proceed as directed. Roger Hoopes requested than an itemized bill be sent directly to him. cc: Larry Perkins Mayor John C.
