Meeting Date: 09/12/2017 By: Bruce Westby, Engineering/Public Works Information Title: Adopt Resolution #17-09-213 Ordering Assessment Roll and Calling Assessment Hearing for Improvement Project #17-00, Sunwood Drive Reconstruction Purpose/Background: Purpose: The purpose of this case is to adopt Resolution #17-09-213 ordering preparation of a final Assessment Roll and calling for an Assessment Hearing on October 10, 2017, for City Improvement Project #17-00, Sunwood Drive Reconstruction. Background: City Improvement Project 17-00 involved reconstructing Sunwood Drive between Ramsey Boulevard/County State Aid Highway (CSAH) 56 and Bunker Lake Boulevard /County Road 116, which totals approximately 3,050 linear feet (0.58 miles). A map showing the scope of the proposed improvements is included as Figure 1 in AppendixA of the attached Feasibility Report. Pre -Existing Conditions Record plans indicate 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 also show that 3'/2 inches of bituminous pavement was constructed over 5 inches of class 5 aggregate base. However, soil borings and pavement corings revealed an average of about 43/4 inches of bituminous pavement along the corridor. Eight (8) foot wide parking lanes were delineated along both sides of the street using solid white pavement striping. The existing storm sewer system consists of concrete catch basins and pipes, which drain runoff from the street to adjacent low-lying areas. Sanitary sewer and watermain also exist under the pavement. An off-street bituminous trail exists along the north side of Sunwood Drive. The trail is in relatively good condition so the trail was not improved with this project. 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 Feasibility Report. Completed Improvements Damaged sections of existing concrete curb and gutter were removed and replaced, along with all concrete cross gutters at driveways and intersections which are used to better facilitate drainage in areas where grades in the gutter line are less than 2% which helps to prevent standing water causing unsafe conditions for drivers and pedestrians.
