May 12, 2016 <br />Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />City of Ramsey <br />7550 Sunwood Drive <br />Ramsey, MN 55303 <br />Re: Feasibility Report — Gibbon Street and 173rd Avenue Drainage Improvements <br />Dear Mayor and City Council Members: <br />Transmitted herewith is a Feasibility Report exploring options for providing positive drainage for a <br />low-lying area in the Deerwood residential subdivision. This land -locked area holds water and, as <br />recently reported by several property owners, has resulted in high groundwater table elevations <br />which resulted in several wet basements during wet weather years. <br />This report, which was prepared per the direction of the City Council, examines the feasibility of <br />constructing a connected storm sewer system outlet for the low-lying area via Gibbon Street and <br />173rd Avenue. This report examines the scope of the proposed improvements, explores their <br />estimated costs and available funding sources, defines a preliminary project schedule, and <br />provides a determination for the necessity, feasibility and cost-effectiveness of the proposed <br />improvements, as well as whether the improvements would best be completed separately or in <br />conjunction with another project. <br />I would be happy to discuss this report with you at your convenience. Please feel free to contact me <br />at 763-433-9825 or bwestbv@citvoframsev.com with any questions. <br />Sincerely, <br />City of Ramsey <br />Bruce Westby, PE <br />City Engineer <br />Enclosure <br />C: Kurt Ulrich, City Administrator, City of Ramsey <br />Diana Lund, Finance Director, City of Ramsey <br />Grant Reimer, Public Works Superintendent, City of Ramsey <br />Leonard Linton, Civil Engineer IV, City of Ramsey <br />
