Title:
Adopt Resolution #25-141 Ordering Plans and Specifications for Section 01 Unplatted (S. CR 27) Street Reconstructions, Improvement Project #26-07
Purpose/Background:
Purpose:
The purpose of this case is to adopt Resolution #25-141 ordering plans and specifications for Section 01 Unplatted (S. CR 27) Street Reconstructions, Improvement Project #26-07.
Background:
The 2025 – 2034 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) identifies the streets within the Section 01 Unplatted south of CR 27 subdivision for street reconstruction in 2026. A street segment summary for the project is attached to this case.
Project History
Project Scope
This project proposes to reconstruct the streets within the Section 01 Unplatted subdivision, generally located west of CSAH 7 and south of 179th Lane (CR 27). The streets are 24-foot wide with a combination of rural and urban with bituminous curbing. Much of the bituminous curbing appears to be placed to address localized drainage within the subdivision, and eventually runs to flumes and swales. The streets total 1.44 miles in length. Drainage is handled through ditches adjacent to the streets, and runs to ponds and wetlands, which exist throughout the project area.
The streets within Section 01 Unplatted were constructed in 1980 and received an overlay in 1999. GPR data shows an average pavement section of 6.6-inches, including 4.0-inches of bituminous and 2.6-inches of aggregate base.
The reconstruction is proposed to be an FDR in the CIP. Soil corrections are not anticipated, this will be verified during design and review of the geotechnical report. The existing bituminous curbing is proposed to be replaced with concrete curb and gutter. During project design, significant stormwater analysis will be required to determine proper locations for curb and gutter. Street crossing culverts are proposed to be replaced. Municipal sewer and water do not exist within the project area.
Project Timelines
City Staff is proposing to prepare plans and specifications for this project in-house, as part of their normal duties. The following are the proposed general project timelines:
June 24, 2025 City Council Authorization to prepare plans and specifications
Summer 2025 / Winter 2026 Staff prepares plans and specifications
Fall 2025 / Winter 2026 City Council approve plans, authorize bidding
Winter 2026 Bid opening, City Council award contracts
Spring 2026 Begin Construction
Summer / Fall 2026 Finish Construction
Staff proposes to bid projects separately, but to bid and award projects as close together as practical, which generally allows for a better bidding environment for the City.
