Observations: The only public comment received to date has been that the pavement is in dire need of repair/replacement. It should be noted that a public information meeting was not conducted for this project because plans were developed quickly and the current COVID-19 pandemic does not allow for large in -person gatherings. Instead, the project web page is being populated with lots of information and links to allow the public to learn as much about the project as they want, including reviewing construction plans and watching a presentation that was prepared and narrated by City Staff. Contact information is also provided in case anyone has questions or wants to discuss anything in detail with City Staff. Letters were recently mailed to abutting property owners informing them of the project and the web page. Staff will update the Council on any public comments received when bids are presented in March for award of a construction contract. The proposed improvements should have a serviceable life of 60 years, assuming that proactive maintenance operations are performed on a regular basis during the life of the improvements. This project will be bid electronically through QuestCDN. The Engineering Department moved to full electronic bids using QuestCDN in 2019 to help streamline the bidding process for both the City and the bidders. However, this also allows bids to be opened "publicly" on-line, which is critical at this time considering that in -person bid openings are not a viable option during the current COVID-19 pandemic. Alternatives: Alternative # 1 — Motion to adopt Resolution #21-022 approving plans and specifications and authorizing advertisements for bids for Riverdale Drive Reconstruction, Improvement Project #21-00. Alternative #2 — Motion to deny adoption of Resolution #21-022 at this time. Funding Source: The Engineer's opinion of probable construction costs for the proposed improvements based on 90-percent plans is $900,000. Estimated project costs include an additional 23-percent for indirect costs (administrative, engineering, finance and legal), which totals $1,107,000. Municipal State Aid (MSA) Funds are proposed to pay for street and trail improvements, and Stormwater Funds are proposed to pay for stormwater improvements. Any costs related to sanitary sewer and/or watermain will be paid through the respective enterprise fund. Recommendation: Staff recommends alternative # 1 in accordance with the approved 2021 — 2030 CIP. On January 19, 2021, the Public Works Committee unanimously recommended approval of alternative 1. Action: Motion to adopt Resolution #21-022 approving plans and specifications and authorizing advertisements for bids for Riverdale Drive Reconstruction, Improvement Project #21-00.
