Background: City Improvement Project 16-00 Division B proposes to mill and overlay 2 inches of bituminous pavement on Sunwood Drive between Sunfish Lake Boulevard and the bridge east of 147th Lane and west of Krypton Street, along with other necessary appurtenant improvements as outlined in the attached Feasibility Report. This segment of Sunwood Drive is generally located in the southeast portion of the City as shown in Exhibit 1 of Appendix A of the attached report. Appendix A also includes a proposed improvements map showing a more detailed scope of the proposed improvements. City staff typically rates the pavement sections of all city streets annually using the Pavement and Surface Evaluation Rating (PASER) system. Current PASER ratings for this segment of Sunwood Drive include a rating of 4 for the segment between Sunfish Lake Boulevard and 145th Lane, and a rating of 5 for the segment from 145th Lane to the bridge. This information is shown in the street segments summary in Appendix B of the attached report. Overlay improvements are typically proposed for streets having PASER ratings of 3, 4, or 5. On February 8th, 2016, the Ramsey City Council ordered the attached feasibility report to explore the necessity, feasibility and cost-effectiveness of the proposed mill and overlay improvements by examining the scope of the improvements, exploring estimated costs and available funding sources, defining a preliminary project schedule, and determining whether the improvements should be completed as proposed or in connection with another improvement. The engineer's opinion of probable costs for this project is $301,000. Estimated costs include 5% contingency costs, plus 14% indirect costs for administrative, engineering, finance and legal costs. The improvements proposed with this project are identified in the City's current 5 -year Capital Improvement Program, and can be funded using a combination of General Obligation Street Reconstruction and Overlay Plan bond funds, special assessments to benefiting properties, and utility enterprise funds. Appendix C in the attached report includes a preliminary assessment roll and map showing three properties proposed to be specially assessed $950 each for eligible improvement costs. The City would therefore be responsible for funding the remaining improvement costs, estimated at $298,150.
