Meeting Date: 04/12/2016 By: Bruce Westby, Engineering/Public Works Information Title: PUBLIC HEARING: Adopt Resolution #16-04-060 Ordering Plans and Specifications for Improvement Project # 16-00, Division B; 2016 Mill and Overlay Improvements Purpose/Background: Purpose: The purpose of this case is to conduct a public hearing and consider ordering plans and specifications for Improvement Project #16-00, Division B; 2016 Mill and Overlay Improvements. Background: On February 8th, 2016 the Ramsey City Council ordered a Feasibility Report for Division B of the 2016 Street Maintenance Program which proposes to mill and overlay existing bituminous pavement sections on approximately 0.8 miles of Sunwood Drive between Sunfish Lake Boulevard and the bridge between 147th Lane and Krypton Street. Figures showing the general project location and scope of work are included in the attached Feasibility Report. On March 22nd, 2016, the Ramsey City Council accepted the Feasibility Report and ordered this evening's Public Hearing. The purpose of the Public Hearing is to present information about the project to the public, including a description of the proposed improvements, estimated project costs, and proposed funding sources which includes levying special assessments against three benefiting properties. Property owners may then address Council with any questions or concerns they have regarding the project, including proposed funding sources, prior to Council consideration of ordering plans and specifications. City staff visually inspects each public street segment throughout the City annually to determine pavement conditions. 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 at 1 are considered to need a complete reconstruction, while streets rated at 10 are considered to be new pavement sections. The segment of Sunwood Drive proposed to receive mill and overlay improvements in 2016 has PASER ratings between 4 and 5 making it a timely candidate for mill and overlay improvements. The proposed improvements should extend the life of the pavement approximately 20 years. This segment of Sunwood Drive was constructed in 1996 with B618 concrete curb and gutter, a storm sewer system, and an average of 3'/2 inches of bituminous pavement over 4 inches of class 5 aggregate base. The street is 30 feet wide between Sunfish Lake Boulevard and 145th Lane, and 40 feet wide over the remainder of the segment. The right-of-way is 80 feet wide throughout. Sanitary sewer and water supply systems exist throughout this segment of Sunwood Drive, though both are in good operating condition and require no improvements as part of this project.
