Background: Attached is a set of final plans prepared by City staff for Improvement Project #17-00, Sunwood Drive Reconstruction. The attached plans are generally consistent with the design represented in the Feasibility Report as approved by the City Council. The only significant difference is that 3 inches of existing bituminous pavement will no longer be milled and hauled off site. Rather, all existing bituminous pavement will be reclaimed and mixed with the existing aggregate base. Then 4 inches of reclaim material will be removed and hauled off site, after which the remaining 6 inches of reclaim material will be stabilized by incorporating an asphalt emulsion. This will allow 4 inches of new bituminous pavement to be placed on top of the stabilized base resulting in a stronger pavement section than previously existed, while maintaining existing elevations. The Feasibility Report only called for 5 inches of stabilized reclaim material. This segment of Sunwood Drive is part of the City's Municipal State Aid System. The attached plans were reviewed and approved by MnDOT State Aid. Attached is a copy of State Aid's approval letter authorizing advancement of the project to construction. The proposed project schedule is below. May 9 — Approve Plans and Specifications / Authorize Ads for Bids May 12 & 19 — Advertisements for Bids published June 6 — Public bid opening June 13 — Accept Bids / Award Contract Late June / early July — Begin construction September 1 — Substantial completion (open to traffic) On April 18th, the Public Works Committee reviewed the plans and unanimously recommended Council approval of plans and authorization to advertise for bids.
