Adopt Resolution #24-138 Ordering Request for Proposals for 2025 Capital Improvement Program projects topographic surveys, geotechnical services and utility testing

Purpose:
The purpose of this case is to adopt Resolution #24-138 ordering request for proposals for 2025 Capital Improvement Program projects topographic surveys, geotechnical services and utility testing.
 
Background:
The current 2024 thru 2033 10-Year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) proposes street reconstructions of the following streets in 2025:

• Fox Ridge Estates 1^st & 2^nd subdivision
  • Design material for this subdivision were gathered in 2023, project design is currently underway.

 

• MSA Sunwood Drive between Nowthen Boulevard (CSAH 5) and Erkium Street
• MSA Alpine Drive between Sunfish Lake Boulevard (CR 57) and Saint Francis Boulevard (TH 47)
  • The CIP identifies two segments of Alpine Drive which are proposed to be combined into one project.
• Dickenson Mississippi Estate subdivision
• High Point subdivision
  • The CIP identified Section 22 Unplatted, which is proposed to be combined with the High Point subdivision project.
• Sorteberg’s subdivision

 
The following streets are proposed to receive a pavement mill and overlay in 2025:

• Beaudry’s 2^nd subdivision
• Ramsey Town Center subdivision
• Ramsey Town Center 2^nd subdivision
• Ramsey Town Center 4^th subdivision
• Ramsey Town Center 6^th subdivision
• Ramsey Town Center 7^th subdivision
• Ramsey Town Center IP 05-22 subdivision
• Rum River Hills subdivision
• Village of Sunfish Lake subdivision
  • Generally, pavement mill and overlay projects only require topographic survey of the pedestrian ramps for ADA upgrades.

 
In total the 2024 – 2033 CIP proposes to reconstruct approximately 5.85 miles and overlay 4.38 miles of public roads in 2025. For comparison in 2024 the Pavement Management Program included 7.03 miles of reconstructions, and 5.76 miles of overlays, in addition to the 0.83 miles of streets included in the COR Infrastructure Improvements.
 
Staff will use the materials as design aids for the improvement projects. Topographic surveys are essential to locate all existing site features and to create an existing ground surface, used as the base for designing the project.
 
Geotechnical reports inform Staff of subsoil conditions, which is essential when designing the pavement section for the reconstructed streets. Also included are groundwater elevations and support capabilities of the soils for utilities and trenches, as well as associated backfilling recommendations.
 
Televising sewer pipes informs Staff of the condition of the pipes, and locates existing damage. This allows Staff to include fixing damaged pipes into the construction plans, which can be more cost effective than doing repairs as standalone projects, or as change orders during the reconstruction project.
 
Street segment summaries and the 2025 Draft Pavement Management Program map is attached to this case for reference.

No notifications are required with this case.

May 21, 2024 the Ramsey Public Works Committee considered recommending City Council ordering request for proposals for 2025 CIP projects topographic surveys, geotechnical services and utility testing. The Committee unanimously recommended City Council approval.
 
Staff recommends adopting Resolution #24-138 ordering request for proposals for 2025 Capital Improvement Program projects topographic surveys, geotechnical services and utility testing.

Adopt Resolution #24-138 ordering request for proposals for 2025 Capital Improvement Program projects topographic surveys, geotechnical services and utility testing.
