Title:
Adopt Resolution #21-307 Ordering Plans and Specifications for Improvement Project #22-06, Wood Pond Hills 2nd – 5th Street Reconstructions
Purpose/Background:
Purpose:
The purpose of this case is to adopt Resolution #21-307 Ordering Plans and Specifications for Improvement Project #22-06, Wood Pond Hills 2nd – 5th Street Reconstructions.
Background:
The current 2021 – 2030 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) identifies Wood Pond Hills 2nd – 5th Additions for street reconstruction improvements in 2026. The pavement condition has noticeably declined over the last several years, which has caused Staff to receive numerous comments from residents. Public Works Staff has been required to spend several days in the spring patching these streets. The condition of the pavement has gone beyond what is reasonably maintainable with only patching and this project was moved forward to 2022 within the proposed 2022 – 2031 CIP.
City Improvement Project 22-06 proposes to reconstruct the streets within the Wood Pond Hills 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th subdivision, generally located southwest of Sunwood Drive and Nowthen Boulevard. The streets total approximately 4,600 linear feet (0.88 miles) in length, and are 31 feet wide urban section with surmountable concrete curb and gutter. A figure showing the project scope and a street segment summary is attached to this case.
On July 13, 2021, the Ramsey City Council ordered the City Engineer to request proposals for topographic survey, geotechnical evaluations and utility testing for proposed 2022 Pavement Management Program (PMP) projects, including IP 22-06. On August 8, 2021, the Ramsey City Council awarded a proposal to Hakanson Anderson for topographic survey, and Haugo Geotechnical Services for a geotechnical report of the project area. On August 24, 2021, the Ramsey City Council awarded a proposal to Hydro-Klean, LLC for cleaning and televising the sanitary and storm sewer, and Water Conservation Services, Inc. for watermain leak testing of the project area.
Engineering Staff has completed an initial review of the topographic survey and geotechnical report, determining the requirements of the proposals have been met. The initial review of the geotechnical report revealed sub-base materials which are generally well suited for utility installation and street construction. The report will be further consulted by Staff during project design.
The streets within Wood Pond Hills 2nd – 5th Additions were included in the Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) Pavement Evaluation performed by Braun Intertec. This data provides bituminous and aggregate base thickness information. The GPR data is included in the street segment summary attached to this case.
The streets within the project area are 31 feet wide, urban section streets, and are proposed to be reconstructed to the City’s current standard residential street design. This includes a minimum 4 inches aggregate base and 3.5 inches of new bituminous pavement. Staff is proposing to use the full-depth reclamation process, reclaiming the existing bituminous pavement and underlying aggregate base, removing excess reclamation material, re-using the remaining material as the new aggregate base, and placing 3.5 inches of new bituminous pavement on top. The existing concrete curb and gutter is proposed to remain, with spot repairs to damaged curb and gutter being performed. Minimal impacts to private driveways and lawns is expected, though any impacts would be within the City-owned right of way.
City Staff is aware of more severe curb and gutter damage within the Junkite Street cul-de-sac, south of 145th Court, due to failing slopes behind the curb and will determine the most appropriate treatment during project design.
Municipal utilities exist in the project area including water, sewer, and storm sewer systems. The watermain was leak tested, and no leaks were discovered. The sanitary and storm sewer was cleaned and televised. No repairs to the sanitary or storm sewer pipes are anticipated with this project, however further review of the televising needs to be performed before this can be confirmed. Any required repairs discovered from the review of the sewer are not included in the current estimated cost.
Estimated project costs per the proposed 2022 – 2031 CIP are $550,000. Estimated costs include 23-percent indirect costs for administrative, engineering, finance and legal costs. Staff proposes to create the plans and specifications in-house as part of their normal duties.
The street improvement proposed with this project are identified as a 2026 project in the City’s current 10-year CIP, and as a 2022 project within the proposed 2022 – 2031 CIP, and can be funded using a combination of Pavement Management Funds and Storm Water Utility Funds. If repairs are required to be made to the sanitary sewer those improvements can be funded using the Sewer Utility Funds, though they are not proposed within the current estimate. This project would best be constructed as a stand-alone project and is necessary, feasible, and cost-effective from an engineering standpoint, and can be constructed as proposed herein.
The proposed improvements are designated as City Improvement Project #22-06, Wood Pond Hills 2nd – 5th Street Reconstructions.
