Observations: The proposed pavement design should result in a minimum pavement life of 30 years, assuming that proactive, regular pavement maintenance treatments are performed during the life of the pavement.While a 60-year design life would typically be targeted for a reconstructed street,this project is not proposing a full street reconstruction due to the good condition of the majority of the existing 30 year old curb and gutter. Therefore,only the bituminous pavement is proposed to be reconstructed at this time as it may make sense to replace the pavement section at the time the rest of the existing curb and gutter is replaced,which may be 30 or more years in the future. Developed properties along the project corridor may have private irrigation systems. Impacts to these systems may occur where the existing curb and gutter is being replaced. On past street reconstruction projects,the City repaired private irrigation systems that were damaged as part of the project. Staff recommends foregoing this practice on future projects. Instead, staff recommends notifying property owners in writing of the pending construction as far in advance of construction as possible to allow them to move their irrigation systems out of the construction area, and then replace it once work is complete. Alternatives: Alternative #1 —Motion to adopt Resolution#17-01-030 accepting the Feasibility Report for Improvement Project 417-02, Rivers Bend Street Reconstruction. Alternative 42—Motion to adopt Resolution#17-01-030 accepting the Feasibility Report for Improvement Project 417-02, Rivers Bend Street Reconstruction,with the following modifications; Alternative 43 —Motion to deny adoption of Resolution 417-01-030 at this time. Funding Source: City staff prepared the Feasibility Report in-house as part of staff's normal duties. WSB and Associates, Inc. prepared their Pavement Evaluations and Recommendations report at a not-to-exceed cost of$3,290,though the final invoice amount is anticipated to be less than this amount. The engineer's opinion of probable project costs is $283,000. A total of 44 residential parcels will benefit from the proposed improvements and are preliminarily proposed to be assessed for 25 percent of eligible project costs which totals $70,752. This equates to preliminary assessments of$1,608 per parcel. The City will fund the remaining 75% of project costs,which total $212,248. These costs will be funded using Street Reconstruction and Overlay Program bond funds, as well as a small amount of Stormwater Utility Funds. Recommendation: Staff recommends Alternative 41 to allow the project to be constructed as part of the 2018 Street Maintenance Program, and to allow for the use of special assessments to pay for a portion of the project costs per the applicable provisions of the City Charter,the City's Special Assessments Policy, and Minnesota Statute Chapter 429. Action: Motion to adopt Resolution#17-01-030 accepting the Feasibility Report for Improvement Project#17-02, Rivers Bend Street Reconstruction.
