Meeting Date: 04/12/2016 By: Bruce Westby, Engineering/Public Works Information Title: Adopt Resolution #16-04-061 Approving Plans and Specifications and Authorizing Bids for Improvement Project #16-00, Division C; Andrie Street and 164th Lane Reconstruction Purpose/Background: Purpose: The purpose of this case is to consider adopting attached Resolution #16-04-061 approving plans and specifications and authorizing advertisement for bids for Improvement Project #16-00, Division C; Andrie Street and 164th Lane Reconstruction. Background: City of Ramsey Improvement Project #16-00 Division C proposes to reconstruct the pavement sections, improve the storm sewer system, and complete other appurtenant work on two urban street segments connecting Alpine Drive and Jarvis Street through the Northfork development in the southwest corner of the City. The street segments proposed to be reconstructed total approximately 9,963 linear feet (1.89 miles) in length and include Andrie Street (approx. 6,312 linear feet) from Alpine Drive to 164th Lane, and 164th Lane (approx. 3,651 linear feet) from Andrie Street to Jarvis Street. A layout showing the scope of the proposed improvements is included on the attached title sheet of the final plans. Andrie Street and 164th Lane were both constructed in 1985 using bituminous pavement and bituminous curbs at a width of 31 feet from back -of -curb to back -of -curb. Both streets were constructed with minimum grades and lack a sufficient number of catch basins to effectively drain stormwater runoff from the streets which has resulted in an accelerated deterioration of the pavement sections. City crews have therefore been patching these streets multiple times a year, particularly before winter months, to allow the streets to be plowed without pulling pieces of pavement up in the process. City staff evaluates and rates pavement conditions on all city streets annually using the Pavement and Surface Evaluation Rating (PASER) system. In the fall of 2015, the pavement sections of the above -referenced street segments had PASER ratings of 2, ranking them as some of the worst street segments in the City. A PASER rating of 2 also implies that these streets are past the point of applying an overlay so the streets require complete reconstruction. The final design included in the plans and specifications provides for reconstructing both streets at a width of 33 feet from back -of -curb to back -of -curb (2 feet wider than existing) using B618 concrete curb and gutter, a bituminous pavement section of 3'/2" bituminous pavement over 6" of modified class 5 aggregate base, an improved storm sewer system, and a designated on -street parking lane along one side of the streets (the north and east sides), including signing and striping to designate the on -street parking lane. No centerline or edge striping is proposed but NO PARKING signs are proposed along the side of the streets without designated on -street parking (the south and
