Meeting Date: 02/28/2017 By: Bruce Westby, Engineering/Public Works Information Title: PUBLIC HEARING: Adopt Resolution #17-02-044 Accepting Feasibility Report and Ordering Plans and Specifications for Improvement Project #17-00, Sunwood Drive Reconstruction Purpose/Background: Purpose: The purpose of this case is to conduct a Public Hearing and adopt Resolution #17-02-044 accepting the Feasibility Report and ordering Plans and Specifications for Improvement Project #17-00, Sunwood Drive Reconstruction. Background: City Improvement Project 17-00 proposes to reconstruct the segment of Sunwood Drive between Ramsey Boulevard/County State Aid Highway (CSAH) 56 and Bunker Lake Boulevard /County Road 116 which is approximately 3,050 linear feet (0.58 miles) in length. A map showing the scope of the proposed improvements is included as Figure 1 in Appendix A of the attached draft Feasibility Report. City staff evaluates and rates the pavement condition of all city streets on an annual basis using the Pavement and Surface Evaluation Rating (PASER) system. In the fall of 2016, this segment of Sunwood Drive received PASER ratings of 3 to 4 which means the pavement is in very poor condition and past the point of applying mill and overlay improvements. Pictures of this street segment are located in Appendix A of the attached Feasibility Report. Existing Conditions Based on record plans, this segment of Sunwood Drive was constructed in 1996 using B618 concrete curb and gutter at a consistent width of 40 feet from face -of -curb to face -of -curb, centered within an 80 foot wide right-of-way. Record plans show that 3'/2 inches of bituminous pavement was constructed over 5 inches of class 5 aggregate base. However, recently completed soil borings and pavement corings revealed an average of about 43/4 inches of bituminous pavement along the corridor. Also, 8 foot wide parking lanes are delineated along both sides of the street using 4 inch wide white striping. A storm sewer system consisting of concrete catch basins and pipes drain runoff from the street to adjacent low-lying areas. Sanitary sewer and watermain also exist under the pavement section. An off-street bituminous trail exists along the north side of Sunwood Drive but the trail is in relatively good condition so no improvements are proposed to the trail as part of this project. A total of four pavement corings were completed by WSB and Associates (WSB) to assist with the preparation of this report. In addition, eleven soil borings were completed by Northern Technologies, Inc. (NTI). Copies of WSB's and NTI's reports are included inAppendix D of the attached draft Feasibility Report.
