6. 22. CC Regular Session Meeting Date: 11/26/2024 Primary Strategic Plan Initiative: Address infrastructure needs. Title: Adopt Resolution#24-339 Ordering Plans and Specifications for MSA Alpine Drive Reconstruction, Improvement Project#25-03 Purpose/Background: Purpose: The purpose of this case is to adopt Resolution#24-339 ordering plans and specifications for MSA Alpine Drive Reconstruction, Improvement Project#25-03. Background: The proposed 2025—2034 Capital Improvement Plan(CIP) identifies Alpine Drive between Sunfish Lake Boulevard(CR 57) and Saint Francis Boulevard(TH 47) for street reconstruction in 2025. A street segment summary for the project is attached to this case. Project History •May 28, 2024,the Ramsey City Council adopted Resolution#24-13 8, accepting and awarding a proposal to Hakanson Anderson for topographic survey of the project area. •August 12,2024,the Ramsey City Council adopted Resolution#24-220, accepting and awarding a proposal to Independent Testing Technologies, Inc. for a geotechnical report of the project area. •November 12,2024, the Ramsey City Council adopted Resolution#24-310, accepting and awarding a proposal to Hydro-Klean,LLC for sewer cleaning and televising of the project area. •November 19,2024, the Ramsey Public Works Committee recommended City Council order plans and specifications for said improvements. Project Scope This project proposes to reconstruct Alpine Drive between Sunfish Lake Boulevard(CR 57) and Saint Francis Boulevard(TH 47). The actual project tie-in points are proposed to vary in distance from the adjacent County roads within the project, due to relatively recently completed Anoka County Highway Department traffic signal improvements. An exhibit showing the proposed tie-in points is attached to this case. Alpine Drive between Sunfish Lake Boulevard(CR 57) and Nowthen Boulevard(CSAH 5) is 44-foot-wide urban section with an 8-foot bituminous trail on the north side of the street, and an 8-foot bituminous trail on the south side of the street on the western half of the area. The Anoka County signal upgrade at Sunfish Lake Boulevard from 2011, including turn lanes for westbound Alpine Drive, reconstructed approximately 460 linear feet of Alpine Drive east of Sunfish Lake Boulevard. The Anoka County signal upgrade at Nowthen Boulevard from 2014, including turn lanes for eastbound Alpine Drive,reconstructed approximately 660 linear feet of Alpine Drive west of Nowthen Boulevard. The ADT for this segment of Alpine Drive is 2,900. Review of the geotechnical report found clean soils under the pavement,however, groundwater was found within 3 feet of the pavement for an approximately 750-foot section of Alpine Drive which crosses wetland. Staff has observed pavement rutting in this area, likely caused by the high groundwater. The project is proposed to include raising a portion of this section of Alpine Drive,to give a minimum of 30-inches of separation between groundwater and the bottom of the pavement section. Staff is proposing to mill and overlay the 460 linear feet of Alpine Drive east of Sunfish Lake Boulevard. The 660 linear feet of Alpine Drive west of Nowthen Boulevard was found to be in good condition, and only refreshing the pavement markings is proposed in that section of Alpine Drive. Staff has noted several broken pieces of concrete curb and gutter, and is investigating if it would be more cost-effective to
