7. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS <br />City of Ramsey Improvement Project No. 19-01 proposes to construct subgrade corrections, <br />reconstruct the bituminous pavement section, and complete miscellaneous appurtenant work on <br />the following street segments within the Ford Brook Estates residential subdivision: <br />1. 180th Lane (approx. 560 linear feet) — Trunk Highway 47 to Krypton Street. <br />2. Krypton Street (approx. 310 linear feet) — 180th Lane to south cul-de-sac. <br />It is the recommendation of City Staff that City Project No. 19-01 is feasible, necessary, and cost- <br />effective from an engineering standpoint, and this project would best be constructed as a stand- <br />alone project as proposed herein. <br />The following Staff recommendations related to the proposed project are presented for Council <br />consideration and concurrence: <br />1. Staff recommends correcting the subgrade soils by excavating 2-feet of existing <br />subgrade and replacing it with clean imported select granular material on top of <br />geotextile fabric, all at 100% City cost (non -assessable). <br />2. Staff recommends constructing new bituminous pavement per the City's standard <br />residential pavement section of 4-inches aggregate base class 5 (or reclaim), 2-inches <br />new bituminous base course, and 1 1/2"-inches new bituminous wear course. <br />3. Staff recommends expanding the Krypton Street cul-de-sac to a diameter of 100-feet. <br />4. Staff recommends excluding private irrigation system work from this project. Instead, <br />Staff will notify property owners of pending construction as far in advance as possible, <br />and instruct them to relocate their irrigation system(s) away from the construction area <br />during construction, then allow replacement in or near the original location after <br />construction is complete. <br />5. Staff recommends holding a neighborhood information meeting on November 8, 2018 <br />to inform property owners of the proposed improvements and to gather their input prior <br />to competing plans and specifications and requesting Council approval to advertise for <br />bids as outlined in the project schedule. <br />6. Order an assessment appraisal consultation to ensure special assessments do not exceed <br />the benefit received as a result of the improvements. <br />Feasibility Report <br />Ford Brook Estates Street Reconstructions <br />City of Ramsey Project No. 19-01 <br />15 <br />
