allow this segment of Tiger Street to be added to the MSAS system in the future it must be reconstructed with 10-ton pavement design strength meeting MnDOT State Aid design standards. To achieve a 10-ton pavement design strength, the total pavement section depth, which includes the bituminous pavement and underlying aggregate base, must be increased from the City's standard 5-ton pavement design of 7.5 inches (3.5-inches bituminous pavement plus 4-inches aggregate base) to 10-inches (4-inches bituminous pavement plus 6-inches aggregate base). However, since buried topsoil must be removed from under the existing pavement section in various areas, some project costs for strengthening the pavement will be reduced due to removing the need to import fill material to backfill voids when the buried topsoil is removed. Staff had estimated the overall project cost required to increase the pavement from a 5-ton design to a 10-ton design to be $42,000. Based on the favorable bid prices this cost is now estimated to be $28,000. Municipal utilities do not exist in the project area and are not proposed to be extended to the project area or constructed as part of this project. Stormwater runoff is directed into drainage ditches along both sides of Tiger Street. Runoff in the ditches is then conveyed through culverts under private driveways and intersecting streets before being discharged into low-lying areas generally north of Armstrong Boulevard. There are no known issues with stormwater management in the project area and no improvements to existing drainage ditches are proposed with this project.
