Impact Statement
Purpose of Proposed Legislation and Background Information
The Oregon Department of Transportation completed construction of the US 26 Powell Blvd: SE 122nd Ave – SE 136th Ave Project (Project). This Project required water infrastructure to be removed, relocated, or constructed. In November 2018, the Portland Water Bureau entered into a Cooperative Utility Agreement with Oregon Department of Transportation that established scopes of work and responsibility for payment.
The estimated Portland Water Bureau cost of the work in the Cooperative Utility Agreement was $845,443.18. The final cost of the work was $1,218,395.15. The amendment to the Cooperative Utility Agreement will authorize an additional $372,951.97.
Financial and Budgetary Impacts
The Project is complete and the final cost to construct the Project improvements has been established based on actual construction costs.
The Portland Water Bureau currently maintains the water system within the Project limits. Adjustments of the water infrastructure included in this Project will not change the long-term financial obligations of the City. The proposed legislation will not create, eliminate, or re-classify any positions now or in the future.
Community Impacts and Community Involvement
The Oregon Department of Transportation led the public involvement effort and performed outreach to affected residents and businesses. This Project supports City equity goals by improving access to services to low-income and under-served residents and businesses along Powell Blvd and improving pedestrian, cyclist, and traffic safety in a high-traffic corridor.
100% Renewable Goal
This legislation does not increase or decrease the City’s total energy use and does not increase or decrease the City’s renewable energy use.
