Impact Statement
Purpose of Proposed Legislation and Background Information
The purpose of this legislation is to authorize the Chief Procurement Officer to execute a construction contract for the Seventies Neighborhood Greenway Project for $2,976,933.
The project involves construction of Seventies Neighborhood Greenway Project. There are significant gaps in the City’s bikeway network that discourages riding bikes to work, school, shopping, etc. The Seventies Neighborhood Greenway project will address deficiencies in this corridor. The project will address these deficiencies by filling in major gaps between safe and comfortable north-south pedestrian and bicycle routes in the City. Specifically, the route will provide 11 enhanced crossings treatments such as curb extensions, island, RRFBs, cycle tracks, multiuse paths, etc. for pedestrian and bicyclists at busy streets and nearby schools.
Ordinance No. 190432 was approved by City Council on June 2, 2021 authorizing the Chief Procurement Officer to issue a competitive solicitation for the Seventies Neighborhood Greenway Project on behalf of Portland Bureau of Transportation (PBOT). The construction cost based on bids received is $2,976,933.
No revenues will be impacted by this legislation.
