1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Division B of City Improvement Project 16-00 proposes to mill and overlay 2 inches bituminous pavement measuring approximately 18,752 square yards in area along the segment of 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 this report. This segment of Sunwood Drive is generally located in the southeast portion of the City as shown in Exhibit 1 of Appendix A. Appendix A also includes a proposed improvements map which shows the scope of the proposed improvements in more detail. City staff typically rates the pavement sections of all city streets annually using the Pavement and Surface Evaluation Rating (PASER) system. The latest PASER ratings for the segment of Sunwood Drive proposed to receive mill and overlay improvements is included in the street segments summary in Appendix B. On February 8th, 2016, the Ramsey City Council ordered this feasibility report which explores the necessity, feasibility and cost-effectiveness of the proposed 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 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. The proposed improvements would be most cost-effectively constructed as a separate project and not in connection with other proposed improvements due to the specific nature of the improvements.
