5. 16. CC Regular Session Meeting Date: 01/23/2024 Primary Strategic Plan Initiative: Address infrastructure needs. Information Title: Adopt Resolution#24-034 Amending Scope of Improvement Project#24-05, MSA Xkimo Street Reconstruction to Include Streets within Riversbend 3 rd,4th, and Plaza Subdivisions Purpose/Background: Purpose: The purpose of this case is to adopt Resolution#24-034 amending the scope of Improvement Project#24-034, MSA Xkimo Street Reconstruction to include the streets within the Riversbend 3 rd,4th, and Plaza subdivisions. Background: On August 22, 2023,the Ramsey City Council directed the Mayor and City Administrator to execute the proposal from Hakanson Anderson to prepare final plans and specifications for MSA Xkimo Street Reconstruction, Improvement Project#24-05. This project proposes to reconstruct 0.29 miles of Xkimo Street between 142-id Avenue and Trunk Highway 47. During the public open house for this improvement project held on December 14, 2023, Staff received comments from residents on how poor the condition of the pavement on the cul-de-sacs adjacent to Xkimo Street are. Staff is aware of the poor condition of the 143rd Avenue, 143rd Lane and Xkimo Court cul-de-sacs adjacent to Xkimo Street, and believe extensive patching will likely be required annually on the streets until the streets are reconstructed. The Xkimo Street cul-de-sac,which is the continuation of the street south of 142nd Avenue will likely require some patching in the coming years,though not to the extent of the other three. During sight plan review, Staff noted block cracking and additional alligator cracking on the edge of the pavement,which was not apparent or noted during the PASER evaluations in the summer. Due to this, Staff does not feel a pavement overlay is the most economical pavement treatment for this segment and a reclamation type reconstruction is recommended. The current 2024 through 2033 10-year Capital Improvement Program(CIP)proposes street reconstruction of Riversbend Ord and 4th in 2027. The CIP proposes a pavement mill and overlay of Riversbend Plaza(Xkimo Street cul-de-sac) in 2027. Staff proposes to move the improvements up to 2024 and to include, as part of the MSA Xkimo Street Reconstruction project, as street reconstructions. Hakanson Anderson is currently working on plan development for MSA Xkimo Street Reconstruction. City Staff has had some initial discussions with Hakanson, and it's not believed adding the additional streets will impact the project timelines. Currently, Staff is anticipating bringing final plans to City Council in March for approval, allowing bid opening to occur in late March or April, and construction to begin in May to June of 2024. Notification: If City Council approves addition of the Riversbend 3rd, 4th and Plaza subdivisions, Staff will mail project update letters to property owners impacted by these improvements.
