Time Frame/Observations/Alternatives: Observations: The public open house was held on February 13, 2025 in the Lake Itasca Room, at the Ramsey Municipal Center.

No comments were received on the Zirconium Street cul-de-sac resizing. Alternatives: Motion to adopt Resolution#25-042 approving plans and specifications and authorizing advertisement for bids for High Point Street Reconstructions, Improvement Project#25-05. Funding Source: Funding for this improvement is proposed to come from Pavement Management Funds and Storm Water Utility Funds. Pavement Management Funds $117431100 Storm Water Utility Funds $4761300 Total Project Funds $29219,400 The CIP level estimate had a total estimated project cost of$1,986,165,which includes street costs of$1,727,100 and storm sewer costs of$259,065. The final project costs may change depending upon bid prices and actual construction quantities. Recommendation: On February 18,2025,the Ramsey Public Works Committee reviewed the improvement project and recommended City Council approve the plans and authorize advertisement for bids for said improvements. Additionally,the committee recommended City Council discussion on resizing the Zirconium Street cul-de-sac right-of-way. Staff recommends adopting Resolution#25-042 approving plans and specifications and authorizing advertisement for bids for High Point Street Reconstructions, Improvement Project#25-05. Additionally, staff recommends discussing the Zirconium Street cul-de-sac right-of-way at a future City Council meeting. Adjusting the right-of-way does not impact the constructability of the project, and could be done anytime in the future if desired. However, it would take a substantial amount of staff time, which is currently needed for designing,preparing plans and specifications,bidding, and administering improvement projects. Outcome/Action: Adopt Resolution#25-042 approving plans and specifications and authorizing advertisement for bids for High Point Street Reconstructions, Improvement Project#25-05.
