CC Regular Session Meeting Date: 5. 18. 08/22/2023 Primary Strategic Plan Initiative: Address infrastructure needs. Information Title Adopt Resolution #23-197 Ordering Plans and Specifications for Barthel's Rum River Acres and White Pines Estates Street Reconstructions, Improvement Project #24-01 Purpose/Background: Purpose: The purpose of this case is to adopt Resolution #23-197 ordering plans and specifications for Barthel's Rum River Acres and White Pines Estates Street Reconstructions. Background: The 2023 — 2032 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) identifies the streets within the Barthel's Rum River Acres and White Pines Estates subdivisions for street reconstruction in 2024. Street segment summaries for this project is attached to this case. Project History On June 13, 2023, the Ramsey City Council adopted Resolution #23-130, accepting and awarding a proposal to Bolton & Menk, Inc. for topographic survey of the project area. On June 27, 2023, the Ramsey City Council adopted Resolution #23-129, accepting and awarding a proposal to Independent Testing Technologies, Inc. for a geotechnical report of the project area. Project Scope This project proposes reconstruction of the streets within the Barthel's Rum River Acres and White Pines Estates subdivision, which is generally located between 164th Lane and 165th Lane, adjacent to the Rum River. The streets vary between 24 feet wide rural section and 31 feet wide urban section including bituminous curbing, totaling 1.33 miles in length. Traffic counts have not been taken, but Staff anticipates typical neighborhood traffic due to the location of the subdivisions and lack of destinations which would increase traffic above normal. No sewer or water exist in the project area, and utility extensions to the area are not proposed. The existing drainage is through a combination of swales adjacent to the roadway, and on street drainage to curb cuts in the bituminous curbing area, as well as street crossing culverts. Additionally, Staff is aware of Northern Natural Gas mainline crossing in one location at 164th Lane, east of TH 47. The project is proposing to replace the bituminous curbing with concrete curb and gutter. This is generally occurring only on the streets within White Pines Estates. Additionally, storm sewer inlets and piping will be added to better drain the urban section streets. Based on the initial review of the geotechnical report, subsoil corrections are anticipated across approximately 25-percent of the project. Project Timelines Staff is proposing to prepare plans and specifications for this project in-house, as part of their normal duties. The following are the proposed general project timelines: August 22, 2023 City Council authorization to prepare plans and specifications
