Meeting Date: 03/10/2015 By: Bruce Westby, Engineering/Public Works Information Title: Adopt Resolution 15-03-070 Accepting Feasibility Report and Ordering Public Hearing for 2015 Street Maintenance Program Division B, Overlay Improvements; Improvement Project #15-00 Purpose/Background: Purpose: The purpose of this case is to accept the feasibility report and order a Public Hearing for March 24, 2015 for 2015 Street Maintenance Program, Division B; City Improvement Project #15-00. Background: On February 10th, 2015 the Ramsey City Council ordered a feasibility report for Division B of the 2015 Street Maintenance Program, overlay improvements, which has been completed and is attached to this case. The feasibility report addresses the feasibility of overlaying numerous public street segments in four separate areas of the City as part of the City's long-term Street Maintenance Program. City staff visually inspects each public street segment throughout the City, typically on an annual basis, to determine the pavement condition. Staff uses the Pavement and Surface Evaluation Rating (PASER) method to assign a numerical rating between 1 and 10 to each street segment. Streets rated with a 1 are considered to be failed pavements in need of complete reconstruction, while streets rated with a 10 are considered to be in excellent condition requiring no improvement. The street segments proposed to receive overlays in 2015 had 2014 PASER ratings of 3 and 4 making them excellent candidates for bituminous pavement overlays, which will extend the life of the pavement approximately 20 years. The existing right-of-ways along the street segments proposed to receive overlays as part of this project vary in width from 60 to 80 feet. The paved street segments vary in width from 24 to 32 feet. All proposed street segments in this project were constructed with bituminous pavement and curbing, and most of the street segments utilize storm sewer systems to provide stormwater drainage. The thickness of each bituminous pavement section is variable. Other than utility casting adjustments, no sanitary sewer or water supply system improvements are proposed as part of this project. Notification: No notices were required for this case, but notices will be published and mailed for the March 24th Public Hearing if ordered by Council. Staff will also mail invitation letters for the March 18th public information meeting to each of the properties proposed to be assessed.
