5. 22. CC Regular Session Meeting Date: 08/22/2023 Primary Strategic Plan Initiative: Address infrastructure needs. Information Title Adopt Resolution #23-201 Ordering Plans and Specifications for MSA Alpine Drive Reconstruction, Improvement Project #24-11 Purpose/Background: Purpose: The purpose of this case is to adopt Resolution #23-201 ordering plans and specifications for MSA Alpine Drive Reconstruction, Improvement Project #24-11. Background: The 2023 — 2032 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) identifies Alpine Drive between Puma Street and Armstrong Boulevard (CSAH 83) for street reconstruction in 2024. Additionally, the CIP identifies extension of trunk watermain between Armstrong Boulevard and Puma Street to complete a critical watermain loop. A street segment summary for the 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 to reconstruct Municipal State Aid (MSA) Alpine Drive between Puma Street and Armstrong Boulevard (CSAH 83). The project limits will stop approximately 400 feet west of Armstrong Boulevard, and tie into the new pavement section built by Anoka County in 2023 as part of the Armstrong Boulevard and Alpine Drive roundabout project. City trunk watermain was also extended to the west side of Armstrong Boulevard as part of the roundabout project, to avoid future impacts. The street is a 29-foot wide urban section with concrete curb and gutter, with no parking allowed on either side of the street. A bituminous trail runs along the north side of Alpine Drive with concrete pedestrian ramps crossing the side streets. Impacts to the trail are not anticipated with this project. Watermain exist on both ends of the project area, sanitary sewer exists near the west end of the project area. The subdivisions on both sides of Alpine Drive are not within the MUSA. Sanitary sewer is not proposed to be extended, however trunk watermain is proposed to be extended between Armstrong Boulevard and Puma Street. This is a critical trunk watermain loop connection as all water west of Armstrong Boulevard along north of 147th Avenue are currently served from one trunk line. This is also identified in the 2040 Comprehensive Plan Water Plan, which is attached to this case for reference. Because of the watermain construction, concrete curb and gutter will potentially require replacement. If during project design the existing concrete curb and gutter is found to be in good conditions, directional drilling of the watermain may be explored, and only spot concrete curb and gutter replacements would be necessary.
