with street crossing culverts connecting the ditches. Storm water is generally carried south towards Trott Brook. Staff is unaware of drainage issues or concerns with the existing drainage swales which would require re -grading. Beyond touch up work required due to replacing the street crossing culverts, grade changes to the swales are not proposed, however, this will be reviewed during project design. This project presents two right of way concerns which will be explored during project design. 169th Avenue west of Rabbit Street terminates without a turn -around. This street segment is 640 lineal feet long, 24-feet wide, and currently lacks enough right of way to build a cul-de-sac or hammer head turn -around. 168th Avenue terminates in a 66 foot diameter cul-de-sac. This cul-de-sac sits within the existing right-of-way, but is below the City standard 100 foot diameter. In both cases any improvements would require additional right of way. Staff is proposing to bring improvement options to a future Public Works Committee meeting for discussion, once impacts can be explored during project design. Estimated project costs per the proposed 2022 — 2031 CIP are $984,000. 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 10-year CIP, and can be funded using a combination of Pavement Management 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 #22-02, Autumn Height Street Reconstructions. Notification: Notifications are not required for this case. Time Frame/Observations/Alternatives: Motion to adopt Resolution #21-300 ordering plans and specifications for improvement project #22-02, Autumn Heights Street Reconstructions. Funding Source: Funding for this improvement is proposed to come from the Pavement Management Fund and Storm Water Utility Fund. • (PMP) Street Project Cost $895,000 • Storm Sewer Project Cost $89,000 • Total Estimated Project Cost $984,000 Recommendation: Staff recommends adopting Resolution #21-300 ordering plans and specifications for improvement project #22-02, Autumn Heights 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. Outcome/Action: Adopt Resolution #21-300, ordering plans and specifications for improvement project #22-02, Autumn Heights Street Reconstruction. Attachments
