3.2 Watermain Watermain was installed in 1996 under the pavement along this segment of Sunwood Drive. Staff believes the existing watermain is in good condition, and that no repairs will be required prior to reconstructing the pavement. However, if plans and specifications are ordered for the proposed improvements, staff proposes to hire a leak detection expert to ensure no detectable leaks exist. If leaks are detected, repairs will be made under a separate contract before work commences on this project. Leak detection testing is estimated to cost $500. 3.3 Sanitary Sewer Sanitary sewer was installed in 1996 under the pavement along the entire segment of Sunwood Drive. Staff believes the existing sanitary sewer is in good condition, and that no repairs will be required prior to reconstructing the pavement. However, if plans and specifications are ordered for the proposed improvements, staff proposes to hire a firm to televise the sewers to ensure the pipes are not deformed, cracked, or broken, and that all joints are sealed. If issues are detected, repairs will be made under a separate contract before work commences on this project. Sewer televising for this project is estimated to cost $3,300. 3.4 Storm Sewer/Drainage Storm sewer exists along this segment of Sunwood Drive. Stormwater runoff is currently conveyed within the concrete curb and gutter along Sunwood Drive, where it is then collected in concrete catch basins and routed through concrete storm sewer pipes to existing wetlands, stormwater drainage ditches, and ponding facilities. Based on preliminary calculations by City Staff, no modifications will be required to the existing storm sewer system to meet current State Aid standards. Staff will inspect all existing storm sewer infrastructure during preparation of plans in case repairs are required, in which case repairs would be completed with the project. 3.5 Streets 3.5.1 Existing Typical Sections The street was constructed to a width of 40 feet from face -of -curb to face -of -curb, and is centered within an 80 foot wide City -owned right-of-way. Eight -foot parking lanes are delineated along both sides using striping. 3.5.2 Maintenance History The bituminous pavement was cracksealed and sealcoated in 2002, and again in 2008. Spot patching has been completed on an as -needed basis since. 3.6 Land Use Properties abutting this segment of Sunwood Drive are zoned El or E2, with the exception of the City -owned parcel containing Cottonwood Park which is undevelopable.
