<br /> CASS COUNTY ROADWAY 18 EXTENSION STUDY – CASS COUNTY, <br />ND <br /> <br />42 <br />7.2 ALIGNMENT ALTERNATIVE OPINIONS OF PROBABLE COST <br />The total costs of construction for each of the alternatives are included in Table 8. The opinion of <br />probable cost for each alternative included in Table 8 includes reconstruction and ROW acquisition of the <br />entire five miles of roadway in the study area and bridge construction if included in the alternative. <br />Table 8. Opinion of Probable Cost for Alternatives <br /> <br />7.3 IMPLEMENTATION PLAN FOR ALTERNATIVES <br />The 52nd Street SE roadway between CR 15 and CR 17 is currently owned by the Townships. As shown <br />in Figure 1, Pleasant Township owns approximately one mile of the roadway and Normanna Township <br />owns approximately four miles of the roadway. Prior to this study, Normanna Township discussed with <br />Cass County to have the County take ownership of the roadway so that Normanna Township would no <br />longer have to maintain the roadway. As discussed in upcoming sections of this report, Cass County will <br />only take ownership of this roadway if both Normanna and Pleasant Townships agree to transfer <br />ownership of the roadway to the County. The County is not pursuing ownership of 52nd Street SE, but will <br />take ownership if both Townships agree. <br /> <br />The implementation of all the alternatives included in this report are dependent on the transfer of <br />ownership of 52nd Street SE to Cass County. All the alternatives may be considered by the Townships, <br />but it is unlikely that any would be feasible due to budgetary limitations. The implementation time horizon <br />for any of the alternatives is not finite or set by any of the agencies associated with this project. The <br />Study Implementation Plan and Time Horizon are shown in Figure 20. The implementation time horizon <br />would be determined in the “near-term” phase by the Townships. If ownership of the roadway is <br />transferred to the County, the “mid-term” phase time horizon would be dependent on County funding and <br />project programming and the “long-term” phase time horizon would be dependent on the status of the <br />Sheyenne River Bank erosion and reconstruction needs of the Sheyenne River Bridge. Time horizon <br />estimates for implementation of the phases is not feasible to estimate at this point in the study as the <br />timing is largely dependent on the transfer of ownership and other items that are not easily estimated <br />based on information available in this study.
