1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY City Improvement Project 18-03 proposes to complete 2-inch bituminous pavement overlay improvements to numerous public street segments within the City of Ramsey, including other associated appurtenant improvements as outlined in this report. Approximately 63,449 square yards of public streets in several areas of the City are proposed to receive bituminous pavement overlay improvements in 2018. The street segments proposed to receive overlay improvements include the neighborhoods of; Woodland Green, The North Forty 2" d, The North Forty 3rd Northfork Itasca Shores, Northfork, Northfork 2" d, Northfork 3rd, and Northfork Oaks. Appendix A includes an overall project location map, as well as exhibits showing the individual project areas. City staff typically rates the pavement sections of all city streets on an annual basis using the Pavement Surface Evaluation and Rating (PASER) system. The latest PASER rating for each street segment proposed to receive an overlay with this project is included in the street segments summary found in Appendix B. On October 24, 2017, the Ramsey City Council ordered this feasibility report which explores the necessity, feasibility and cost-effectiveness of the proposed improvements by examining the scope of the improvements, exploring estimated costs and available funding sources, defining a preliminary project schedule, and determining whether the improvements should be completed as proposed or in connection with another improvement. The engineer's opinion of probable costs for this project is $585,460.78. Estimated costs include 5% contingency costs, plus 14% indirect costs for administrative, engineering, finance and legal costs. The improvements proposed with this project are identified in the City's current 10-year Capital Improvement Program, and can be funded using a combination of General Obligation Street Reconstruction and Overlay Plan bond funds, special assessments to benefiting properties, and utility enterprise funds. Appendix C includes a detailed opinion of probable costs, and preliminary assessment rolls and maps. The proposed improvements are necessary, feasible, and cost-effective from an engineering standpoint, and can be constructed as proposed herein. The proposed improvements would be most cost-effectively constructed as a separate project and not in connection with other proposed improvements due to the specific nature of the improvements.
