1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Division B of City Improvement Project 15-00 proposes to complete bituminous pavement overlay improvements to numerous public street segments within the City of Ramsey, including other associated appurtenant improvements as outlined in this report. Approximately 494,000 square feet of public streets in several areas of the City are proposed to receive overlay improvements. Appendix A includes an overall project location map, as well as four exhibits showing the individual project areas. City staff typically rates the pavement sections of all city streets on an annual basis using the Pavement and Surface Evaluation Rating (PASER) system. The latest PASER rating for each street segment proposed to receive an overlay with this project is included in the street segments summary found in Appendix B. On February 10th, 2015 the Ramsey City Council ordered this feasibility report which explores the need, scope, costs, funding sources, and proposed schedule for the project. The engineer's opinion of probable costs for this project is $634,880. Estimated costs include 10% contingency costs plus 25% indirect costs for administrative, engineering, and legal costs. The improvements proposed with this project are identified in the City's current 5 -year Capital Improvement Plan, and can be funded using a combination of Street Reconstruction Plan Bond funds, special assessments to benefiting properties, and utility enterprise funds. Appendix C includes a preliminary assessment roll and map. The proposed improvements are necessary, feasible, and cost-effective from an engineering standpoint, and can be constructed as proposed herein.
