Title:
Consider City Council Recommendation to Order Feasibility Report for Improvement Project #19-01, Ford Brook Estates Street Reconstructions
Purpose/Background:
Purpose:
The purpose of this case is to consider approving a recommendation to the City Council to order a Feasibility Report for Improvement Project #19-01, Ford Brook Estates Street Reconstructions.
Background:
The City of Ramsey’s current 10-year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) covers calendar years 2018 to 2027. The plan identifies all public streets proposed to be reconstructed or to receive overlays in 2019 as part of the City’s long-term Street Maintenance Program. Page 220 from the CIP is attached which shows the streets in Ford Brook Estates were proposed to be reconstructed in 2019.
Staff recommends that these streets be reconstructed in 2019 to allow bonds to be used to pay for the improvements per the City’s 2015 - 2019 Street Reconstruction and Overlay Program (SROP). Attached is a copy of the 2015 - 2019 SROP for reference.
Figure 1 (attached) shows the general location of the Ford Brooks Estates development within the City.
Figure 2 (attached) shows the overall scope of the project.

Timeframe:
Staff estimates 5 minutes will be required to present this case and respond to questions.
Observations/Alternatives:
Observations:
If these streets are not reconstructed in 2019, they can be added to the next 5-year SROP to allow reconstruction between 2020 and 2024 instead. However, this would reduce the amount of pavement maintenance work that can be completed in the current 5-year SROP since no new streets can be added to the 5-year SROP.
Alternatives:
Alternative #1 – Motion approving a recommendation to the City Council to order a Feasibility Report for Improvement Project #19-01, Ford Brook Estates Street Reconstructions.
Alternative #2 – Motion of other.
