7. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS City of Ramsey Improvement Project No. 19-03 proposes to reconstruct the existing bituminous pavement, remove and replace damaged concrete curb and gutter, and complete miscellaneous appurtenant work on the following street segments within the Wood Pond Hills and Chestnut Ridge residential subdivisions: 1. 146th Avenue (approx. 1160 linear feet) — Nowthen Boulevard to Junkite Street. 2. Helium Street (approx. 855 linear feet) — Sunwood Drive to 146th Avenue. 3. Krypton Street (approx. 1300 linear feet) — Sunwood Drive to south cul-de-sac. It is the recommendation of City Staff that City Project No. 19-03 is feasible, necessary, and cost- effective from an engineering standpoint, and this project would best be constructed as a stand- alone project as proposed herein. The following Staff recommendations related to the proposed project are presented for Council consideration and concurrence: 1. Reconstruct the existing bituminous pavement using full -depth reclamation process, meeting the City' s standard residential pavement section of 4-inches aggregate base class 5 (or reclaim), 2-inches new bituminous base course, and 1 1/2- inches new bituminous wear course. 2. Staff recommends excluding private irrigation system work form this project. Instead, Staff will notify property owners of pending construction as far in advance as possible, and instruct them to relocate their irrigation system(s) away from the construction area during construction, then allow replacement in or near the original location after construction is complete. 3. Staff recommends holding a neighborhood information meeting on November 7, 2018 to inform property owners of the proposed improvements and to gather their input prior to competing plans and specifications and requesting Council approval to advertise for bids as outlined in the project schedule. 4. Order an assessment appraisal consultation to ensure special assessments do not exceed the benefit received as a result of the improvements. The City Council is asked to act on the following items related to the proposed project: 1. Accept the preliminary residential special assessment rate of $1,303.70 per lot. 2. Authorize an assessment appraisal consultation to ensure all special assessments are commensurate with benefit received from the proposed improvements. 3. Adopt Resolution #18-221 accepting this Feasibility Report and ordering the Public Hearing for November 13, 2018.
