1.EXECUTIVE SUMMARY City Improvement Project 20-02 proposed to complete 2-inch bituminous pavement mill and overlay improvements to numerous public street segments within the City of Ramsey, including other associated appurtenant improvements as outlined in this report. Approximately 19,612 square yards of bituminous pavement on 1.51 miles of public streets in the City were proposed to receive bituminous pavement overlay improvements in 2020 per -Year Capital Improvement Program (CIP). The street segments are located in the residential neighborhoods of nd Klemish, Klemish & Flores, Sunfish Square, Sunfish Square 2, Windemere Woods, Windemere nd Woods 2. Appendix A includes exhibits showing the proposed 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 last three years of PASER rating for each street segment proposed to receive an overlay with this project is included in the street Appendix B segments summary found in . On December 10, 2019, 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, and determining whether the improvements should be completed as proposed or in connection with other improvements. e project as proposed is $538,661.97. Estimated costs include 10% contingency costs, plus 14% indirect costs for administrative, engineering, finance and legal costs. The improvements proposed -year Capital Improvement Program, and can be funded using a combination of Road Reconstruction Funds, Appendix C special assessments to benefitting properties, and Stormwater Funds. includes a detailed opinion of probable costs. The proposed improvements were not found to be feasible and cost-effective from an engineering standpoint, and Staff does not support construction of the 2020 bituminous overlays as proposed herein. The proposed street segments would be most cost-effectively reconstructed after such time as their PASER ratings fall to a 3 or below. Instead, Staff recommends reviewing the current CIP to identify other street segments for 2020 mill and overlay improvements based on available funding, and authorizing Staff to prepare a new Feasibility Report for proposed 2020 mill and overlay improvements under City Improvement Project No. 20-02.
