All street segments are proposed to be reconstructed at their current width. A typical section for the proposed pavement reconstruction improvements is shown in Figure 2 in Appendix A. This Feasibility Report proposes to reconstruct the existing bituminous pavement section using the Full Depth Reclamation (FDR) process. This process generally involves reclaiming the entire existing bituminous pavement section, along with the underlying aggregate base material. The reclaim material will then be salvaged and stockpiled to install the proposed public utilities. Four and one-half inches of bituminous pavement is proposed to be placed on top of a minimum of 8 inches of aggregate base/reclaim material. This pavement section generally meets the City of Ramsey's standard pavement design for commercial/employment district streets. The proposed improvements should have a service life of at least 30-years, assuming maintenance such as overlays, crack sealing and seal coating is routinely performed. 4.1.2 Storm Sewer Improvements Storm sewer is proposed to be added for street drainage with catch basins being added to convey water off the road and into a proposed ponding and drainage ditches as shown on Figures 1 in Appendix A. 4.1.3 Other Considerations Driveways: Existing driveway aprons may need to be reconstructed to varying degrees. The limits of construction will vary with each driveway apron based on the elevation of the street abutting the driveway and the driveway pavement type. During design, Staff will evaluate the construction limits for each driveway and will incorporate this into the plans, but as with all street reconstruction projects, the exact limits of construction will be determined in the field during construction. None are anticipated, but right -of -entry forms will be obtained from private property owners where work is required outside city rights -of -way and easements. Irrigation Systems: Developed properties along the project corridor may have private irrigation systems. Staff will notify property owners of pending construction as far in advance as practical to allow them time to relocate their irrigation systems before construction begins. Parking Restrictions: Parking is currently provided along both sides of the streets and is not currently restricted except for overnight parking per City code. During project construction, parking will be restricted during allowable working hours. Pavement Coring: Existing pavement thicknesses have been found to be inconsistent throughout the City. It is now standard practice to have City Staff on -site during pavement installation to ensure the proper quantities are being placed. As further conformation, Staff is proposing to collect GPR data or to have pavement cores taken at the conclusion of all reconstruction Feasibility Report Update West Armstrong Area Street Reconstruction City of Ramsey Project No. 18-02 Page 7
