5. 3. Public Works Committee Meeting Date: 01/21/2025 Primary Strategic Plan Initiative: Address infrastructure needs. Title: Consider Recommendation for City Council to Accept Bids and Award Contract for Fox Ridge Estates 1st & 2nd Street Reconstructions, Improvement Project #24-13 Purpose/Background: Purpose: The purpose of this case is to consider a recommendation for the City Council to accept bids and award a construction contract for Fox Ridge Estates ft & 2nd Street Reconstructions, Improvement Project #24-13. Background: The 2025 — 2034 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) identifies the streets within the Fox Ridge Estates 1st & 2nd subdivision for street reconstruction in 2025. A street segment summary for this project is attached to this case. Existing Conditions The streets are generally 31 feet wide urban section including bituminous curbing, totaling 2.16 miles in length. Traffic counts have not been taken, but Staff anticipates slightly higher than typical neighborhood traffic due to the location of the subdivision, and the possible thru traffic for subdivisions to the west. Fox Park is located on the west side of Potassium Street. Trott Brook Cemetery is located between the northeast corner of Potassium Street and TH 47. Neither the existing park or cemetery are large of enough facilities to increase traffic above normal. Municipal sewer and water do not exist in the project area, and utility extensions to the area are not proposed. Storm sewer runoff is handled by storm sewer inlets and piping, which generally carries stormwater to the existing wetlands in the center of the subdivision. A mix of concrete storm sewer piping (RCP), generally found along Potassium Street, and corrugated metal storm sewer piping (CMP) was found. The RCP was found to be in good condition, and is generally proposed to stay in -place. The CMP was found to be in poor condition and is proposed replaced with RCP.
