Staff review found the existing pedestrian ramps within the project area did not meet current ADA requirements, <br />therefore all pedestrian ramps within the project area will need to be removed and replaced. The concrete curb <br />and gutter along Riverdale Drive was found to be in very poor condition. Because of this, Staff is proposing to <br />focus efforts on the pavement and not perform curb and gutter repairs beyond what is necessary for installing the <br />ADA compliant pedestrian ramps. The concrete curb and gutter within the Rivenwick 3rd and Rivenwick Village <br />subdivisions was found to generally be in good condition, and only spot repairs are proposed. <br />Minor repairs to the existing storm sewer structures are proposed with this project, the majority of which are <br />grouting the existing adjustment rings and pipe inverts. Some storm sewer catch basins will require resetting due <br />to settling. <br />The sanitary sewer castings along Riverdale Drive were found to be an older, heavier model no longer installed <br />within the City. At the request of the Utilities Department, Staff is proposing to replace the 14 castings along <br />Riverdale Drive to the currently specified model. <br />Preliminary Schedule Remaining <br />• Staff Receives Bids <br />o July 21, 2023 <br />• Council Awards Contract to the lowest responsible bidder <br />o July 25, 2023 <br />• Contractor begins construction <br />o August 2023 <br />• Contractor Substantially Completes construction <br />o September 29, 2023 <br />• Contractor Final Completion (verify final restoration, punch list created) <br />o October 13, 2023 <br />State Aid Approval <br />Plans are currently being routed through State Aid for approval, which is required before the project can be bid. <br />Staff does not anticipate significant comments from State Aid which would require moving the proposed project <br />bid opening. <br />Final plans are not attached to this case to prevent potential bidders from downloading plans attached to the case <br />to prepare and submit their bids, rather than purchasing the plans through QuestCDN, the electronic bidding <br />software used by the City of Ramsey.
