CC Regular Session 4.7. Meeting Date: 12/13/2016 By: Bruce Westby,Engineering/Public Works Information Title Adopt Resolution 916-12-242 Ordering Feasibility Report for Improvement Project 917-02, 2017 Mill and Overlay Improvements Purpose/Background: Purpose: The purpose of this case is to adopt Resolution 416-12-242 ordering preparation of a Feasibility Report for the proposed mill and overlay improvements to be completed as part of 2017 Street Maintenance Program. Background: City staff has identified various street segments whose Pavement and Surface Evaluation Rating(PASER)values indicate the streets should receive mill and overlay improvements in 2017 to maintain the streets in the most cost-effective manner. These improvements will be designated as Improvement Project 917-02, 2017 Mill and Overlay Improvements. The City of Ramsey's Street Assessments Policy allows 25%of mill and overlay project costs to be assessed against benefiting properties so staff is requesting that City Council order a Feasibility Report for the proposed 2017 mill and overlay improvements. This report is necessary to meet the requirements of Minnesota Statue Chapter 429 to allow special assessments to be used as a funding source. The following street segments are proposed to receive mill and overlay improvements in 2017 per the current CIP. • 147th Lane—Xkimo Street to Waco Street • 148th Avenue—Yakima Street to Xkimo Street •Xkimo Street— 147th Lane to 149th Avenue •Yakima Street— 148th Avenue to 149th Avenue Figure 1 (attached)shows the general location of these streets. Notification: No notifications are required for this case. Observations/Alternatives: Observations: Preparing a Feasibility Report will allow staff to further refine the estimated costs and funding breakdowns for the proposed improvements, and will allow the City to consider using special assessments against benefiting properties as a funding source for this project. The Feasibility Report will explore numerous aspects of the proposed improvements including whether the proposed improvements are feasible and necessary,whether they are cost-effective, and whether they should be completed as proposed or in conjunction with some other improvement project. The estimated costs of the proposed improvements will be explored in more detail, as will a project funding program including a description of the methodology used to calculate individual assessments for benefiting parcels.A proposed project schedule will also be identified.
