Obligations of the County of Kenosha. 1. The County of Kenosha will be responsible for the supervision and payment for the right of way acquisition, the engineering, environmental studies and the reconstruction of said CTH “K” to a four-lane road with an urban cross-section, between its juncture with UPRR Crossing 31 westward to its juncture with the 000xx Xxxxxx. For the avoidance of doubt, the obligations of the County under this Subsection B extend to portions of the highway that may be under the maintenance jurisdiction of the state of Wisconsin. Such reconstruction by the County must meet the current minimum City of Kenosha design standards for its streets, including roadbed and site preparation, concrete or asphalt pavement, curb and gutter, landscaping limited to grading and grass seeding. Kenosha County is also responsible at the County's cost for the installation of storm sewer mains, catch basins, inlets and other related structures but only to the extent necessary to handle roadway needs and current improvements existing outside of the right of way, but said installation at the County's cost does not include accommodations for future development or concerns. The previous sentence notwithstanding, should the City desire up-grade modifications to the storm sewer mains, catch basins, inlets and/or other related structures, the County must install the up-grade modifications provided that the City pay the difference between the actual cost of installation paid to third-party construction contractors and the projected cost to install the storm sewer mains, catch basins, inlets and other related structures that would have been the responsibility of the County. To the extent practicable, the County will have the obligation of causing the “actual cost of installation” to be determined prior to the award of contract by the County through the bidding process by means of a request to bidders for alternate proposals, the alternate to the County's construction obligation being a proposal from bidders for additional work subject to the City's specifications for desired upgrades. Dependent on the cost for installation, it is the City’s intent that the road be of concrete pavement. The County will provide the low bid alternative of concrete or asphalt pavement, but if after review of the bid alternatives by the City, concrete pavement is required by the City and the bid for concrete exceeds the bid for asphalt, the County will pay for the concrete pavement up to $50,000 above the bid cost for asphal...
Obligations of the County of Kenosha. 1. The County of Kenosha will be responsible for the maintenance of Transferred Highway “H” until such time as the maintenance jurisdiction of the highway is transferred to the City pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement. Any reconstruction by the County necessary to raise the condition of the road to a PASER rating of 6 for the entire roadbed of the Transferred Highway “H”, must meet the current minimum City of Kenosha design standards for its streets, including roadbed and site preparation, concrete or asphalt pavement, curb and gutter, landscaping limited to grading and grass seeding. The PASER scale is a 1-10 rating system for road pavement condition developed by the University of Wisconsin-Madison Transportation Information Center, that is used to evaluate pavement surface conditions, and the rating for this road will be determined by a third-party engineering firm that has been accepted by both parties, upon 30-day written correspondence between them. If by April 2034, the parties have not reached an agreement on a third-party engineering firm, the parties will request of the Wisconsin Department of Transportation a list of five engineering firms capable of making the PASER determination; from that list of five engineering firms, the County will strike two and the City will strike two leaving the final firm to conduct the determination. If any portion of Transferred Highway “H” is reconstructed, Kenosha County is responsible at the County's cost for the installation of storm sewer mains, catch basins, inlets and other related structures but only to the extent necessary to handle roadway needs and current improvements existing outside of the right of way, but said installation at the County's cost does not include accommodations for future development or concerns.
