7. 1. CC Regular Session Meeting Date: 03/26/2024 Primary Strategic Plan Initiative: Address infrastructure needs. Information Title: Adopt Resolution#24-076 Accepting Bids and Awarding Contract for MSA Alpine Drive Reconstruction, Improvement Project#24-11 Purpose/Background: Purpose: The purpose of this case is to adopt Resolution#24-076 accepting bids and awarding a contract for MSA Alpine Drive Reconstruction, Improvement Project#24-11. Background: The 2024—2033 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. Existing Conditions Alpine Drive is a 32-foot wide urban section with concrete curb and gutter,totaling 3,600 lineal feet(0.68 miles) in length. Most recent traffic counts indicate 2,050 average daily vehicles on the proposed segment. The existing pavement section is approximately 4.8-inches bituminous over 4.2-inches aggregate base, for an average total section thickness of 9.0-inches. Sanitary sewer,watermain, and storm sewer do not exist in the project area. Trunk watermain is located at both ends of the project, which is proposed to be connected with these improvements. Storm sewer runoff goes from the existing curb and gutter to the adjacent subdivisions,which are rural section with drainage swales. The drainage swales carry runoff to existing low areas,within drainage and utility easements.No upgrades to storm sewer, or changing of the drainage patterns is proposed with this project. An existing bituminous trail runs along the north side of Alpine Drive throughout the project area. Improvements to the trail are generally not proposed, however minor upgrades to 3 of the existing pedestrian ramps will occur.
