The existing subgrade will be corrected by excavating variable depths of subgrade soils and replacing it with clean imported select granular borrow, unless it is determined during construction that the subgrade soils are suitable to allow the street to be reconstructed by scarifying the existing subgrade soils and re -compacting the scarified soils in place following concurrence from a geotechnical engineer. Paving will be completed in two separate lifts upon acceptance of the aggregate base grading. It is anticipated that the final lift of the bituminous wear course will be placed in the same year as the bituminous base course. 4.6 Private Utilities Staff has not yet met with the telephone, gas, and cable utilities regarding this project. If the City Council orders this project, staff will meet with the private utility companies to discuss the proposed improvements as noted in the project schedule within this Report, and to determine if modifications are feasible to minimize impacts to private utilities, including impacts to power poles. Should any of the utility companies indicate that they wish to upgrade, replace and/or otherwise modify their services during this project, any such upgrades, replacements and/or modifications will be at the sole discretion and cost of the private utility. City staff will contact Xcel Energy to see if they would like to bury any of their overhead lines with this project. 4.7 Permits Permits that are anticipated to be required as part of the proposed improvements include: • MPCA General Stormwater Permit (NPDES) Grading and Storm Water • LRRWMO Permit WMO Stormwater Permit • BNSF Railway Notice of Intent — Quiet Zone Improvements 4.8 Right-of-Ways/Easements It is anticipated that all improvements will occur within existing City right-of-ways and/or easements, with the exception of tying into private driveways or the grading of backslopes and/or ditches. However, it is not anticipated that the City will need to acquire any permanent right-of- way or easements for this project. Rights of entries from individual property owners may need to be obtained prior to construction commencing for grading, driveway removals and paving, and restoration activities.
