5. 6. Public Works Committee Meeting Date: 01/16/2024 Primary Strategic Plan Initiative: Address infrastructure needs. Title: Consider Recommending City Council Approving Plans and Specifications and Authorizing Advertisement for Bids for Juniper Woods 1st — 3 rd Street Reconstructions, Improvement Project #24-12 Purpose/Background: Purpose: The purpose of this case is to consider recommending City Council approving plans and specifications and authorizing advertisement for bids for Juniper Woods 1st — 3 rd Street Reconstructions, Improvement Project #24-12. Background: City Improvement Project #24-12 proposes to reconstruct the streets within the Juniper Woods 1 sty 2nd, and 3 rd subdivision, generally located south of Alpine Drive between Tonto Street and Ute Street. The 2024 — 2033 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) identifies these streets for reconstruction in 2024. Street segment summaries are attached to this case. Existing Conditions The streets are 31-foot wide urban section with concrete curb and gutter, totaling 0.75 miles in length. Traffic counts have not been taken, but Staff anticipates typical neighborhood traffic levels due to the location of the subdivision and lack of destinations in the area. The existing pavement section is approximately 2.3-inches of bituminous over 4.3-inches aggregate base, for an average total section thickness of 6.6-inches. Sanitary sewer, watermain, and storm sewer exist within the project area. During the summer of 2023, watermain leak testing was performed across the City. No issues were found within this subdivision. As part of preliminary design, televising of the sanitary and storm sewers was performed. No issues were found with the sanitary sewer. During review of the storm sewer, a broken pipe and a large root ball where discovered. This occurred on the storm sewer pipe which carries back yard drainage between the properties at 15190 and 15200 Ute Street. Replacing the pipe will require removal of at least one tree, and require the properties owners to move the chain link fence which runs over the pipe. All work is proposed to occur within drainage & utility easement, and the fence will be allowed to be replaced after the storm sewer work is complete. Staff is coordinating moving the fence with the property owners. There are two other short runs of pipe which will require replacement, but occur under the street.
