CITY OF BANGOR, MAINE
Engineering Department
January 29, 1979
To the Municipal Officers:
Reference is made to City Council Order No. 286 AD passed
July 26, 1976, authorizing the construction of Mildred Avenue
between Hammond Street and Leonard Street along a right-of-way
which was previously dedicated for public use, but wherein a
street had never been constructed or accepted as a public way.
All work has been completed, described as follows:
The new road consists of a twenty-six Soot wide travel
way, extending for a distance of approximately 750 feet between
beonard Street and Hammond Street, consisting of a 3 inch bitu-
minous concrete surface on a 24 inch gravel base. A sidewalk
was constructed on:, one aide, catch basins were installed, and
a drainage ditch crossing the roadway from the Silver Road area
was relocated and regraded.
The total actual cost of the roadway construction was
$20,696.00, not including the sidewalk, which was an additional
$1,385.00. This amount is in excess of the original project
estimated of $15,000.00; some of the reasons for the cost overrun
are as follows:
(1) It was necessary to move approximately 1,000 cubic
yards of earth fill which had previously been deposited in the
area of the proposed drainage ditch relocation. It is estimated
that the total coat of the removal of the fill was $2,425.00.
It is recommended that this item not be included in the assess-
ment; the existing drainage ditch did not conform to the location
of an Easement originally given for the ditch, and the necessity
for relocation was not related to the roadway construction.
(2) The project estimate was made in 1976, but the work
was not undertaken until 1977; wage rates had increased approxi-
mately 254 per hour, and equipment rental rates for trucks were
increased 804 per hour. These increases added approximately
$1,200.00 to the project cost.
(3) In August of 1977, the State Police Department deter-
mined that our dump trucks were overloaded when hauling the
normal six to seven cubic yards of material, and required a
out -bask to only four cubic yards per trip. The extra tripe
involved in hauling gravel base material from City pits added
between $1,500.00 and $29000.00 to the project cost.
Since the property owners did not petition for the sidewalk,
and since the relocation of the drainage ditch did not add to the
benefit of the properties served, it is considered that the total
assessable amount would be $18,271.00.

remaining one-third would be assessed against the property bene-
fitted. It is also Pelt that the properties benefitted by the
