summary. The proposed reconstruction process is to use full -depth reclamation, re -use the reclamation material as aggregate base, place new bituminous pavement on top after removing excess reclamation material. With this process the existing concrete curb and gutter would remain in -place and spot repairs would be performed. If the option to narrow the street width of Waco Street is chosen, additional concrete curb and gutter removals and driveway extensions would be required, as well as additional turf restoration. Municipal utilities exist in the project area including water, sewer, and storm sewer systems. There are no anticipated repairs to the sanitary sewer or watermain. The sanitary sewer was cleaned and televised, and the watermain was leak tested, with no leaks discovered. There are two storm sewer systems within the project area. A local system which directs stormwater runoff into catch basins along the streets and through piping into the stormwater pond located at the northeast quadrant of Sunwood Drive and Trunk Highway 47. A trunk storm water system takes runoff from the pond and directs it through storm manholes and larger pipe, which eventually outlets to the Rum River, east of Waco Street. Initial review of the storm sewer televising indicates some minor pipe repairs will be necessary. Additionally, during design Staff will evaluate the need of any improvements to the river outlet, focusing on storm water quality controls. Estimated project costs per the proposed 2022 — 2031 CIP are $405,000. Estimated costs include 23-percent indirect costs for administrative, engineering, finance and legal costs. Staff proposes to create the plans and specifications in-house as part of their normal duties. The street improvements proposed with this project are identified in the City's current 10-year CIP, and can be funded using a combination of MSA Funds, and Storm Water Utility Funds. This project would best be constructed as a stand-alone project and is necessary, feasible, and cost-effective from an engineering standpoint, and can be constructed as proposed herein. The proposed improvements are designated as City Improvement Project #22-01, Sunwood Drive and Waco Street Reconstruction Notification: Notifications are not required for this case. Time Frame/Observations/Alternatives: Motion to adopt Resolution #21-299 ordering plans and specifications for improvement project #22-01, Sunwood Drive and Waco Street Reconstruction. Funding Source: Funding for this improvement is proposed to come from the MSA Fund and Stormwater Utility Fund. • (MSA) Street Project Cost $368,000 • Storm Sewer Project Cost $37,000 • Total Estimated Project Cost $405,000 Recommendation: Staff recommends adopting Resolution #21-299 ordering plans and specifications for improvement project #22-01, Sunwood Drive and Waco Street Reconstruction. The Ramsey Public Works Committee reviewed this project on October 19, 2021. The committee recommended City Council authorization ordering Staff to prepare plans and specifications. Additionally, the committee recommends Staff bring a case forward to City Council at a later date to decide between the alternatives of reducing the width of Waco Street or leaving the width as existing. Staff plans to present this case at a November City Council meeting. Outcome/Action:
