roadway. He noted that the patching would remove the full pavement section to the class five and patching that, explaining that the patching section would therefore be the best condition.

He stated that this will allow the project to be constructed in 2018 and will allow for the use of special assessments to pay for up to 25 percent of eligible project costs per the City's Special Assessments Policy. Councilmember LeTourneau stated that the Council continues to hear the same thing repeatedly for the reconstruction projects regarding the poor subbase and pavement width. He stated that this road is about 30 years old and needs complete reconstruction. He asked if the expectation once this is completed, and continues in the City's maintenance cycle, is that the lifespan would then be 60 years. City Engineer Westby confirmed that if the road follows the maintenance cycle, he would anticipate 60 years before the road needs to be reconstructed again. Councilmember LeTourneau noted that this is the condition of the roads throughout the community and therefore this is a huge undertaking that the City has with staggering costs that will be challenging. He stated that eventually the City will emerge on the other side and will be able to run on a maintenance cycle that will save on bonding dollars. He noted that roads are a huge problem in the community. Motion by Councilmember Johns, seconded by Councilmember Kuzma, to Adopt Resolution #18-058 Accepting Bids and Awarding Contract for River's Bend Street Reconstructions, Improvement Project#17-02. Further discussion: Councilmember LeTourneau confirmed that after this reconstruction is complete, there will not be a section of pavement that is .9 inches thick. City Engineer Westby replied that the pavement would be uniform throughout and would meet the City's design standards. Councilmember Kuzma asked if the .9 depth is due to wear and tear or whether it is from the construction. City Engineer Westby noted that he cannot give an exact answer. He stated that the road most likely was not constructed to .9 inches and most likely incurred damage throughout the years. City Council/March 27,2018 Page 8of11
