CC Regular Session Meeting Date: 06/24/2025 Primary Strategic Plan Initiative: Address infrastructure needs. 5. 11. Title: Adopt Resolution #25-138 Ordering Plans and Specifications for Countryside Estates Street Reconstructions, Improvement Project #26-04 Purpose/Background: Purpose: The purpose of this case is to adopt Resolution #25-138 ordering plans and specifications for Countryside Estates Street Reconstructions, Improvement Project #26-04. Background: The 2025 — 2034 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) identifies the streets within the Countryside Estates subdivision for street reconstruction in 2026. A street segment summary for the project is attached to this case. Project History • On April 22, 2025, the Ramsey City Council adopted Resolution #25-082, accepting and awarding a proposal to Bolton & Menk for topographic survey of the project area. • May 13, 2025, the Ramsey City Council adopted Resolution #25-101, accepting and awarding a proposal to Independent Testing Technologies for a geotechnical report of the project area. • June 17, 025, the Ramsey Public Works Committee recommended City Council order plans and specifications for said improvements. Project Scope This project proposes to reconstruct the streets within the Countryside Estates subdivision, generally located east of Armstrong Boulevard (CSAH 83) and north of 173rd Avenue. The streets are 24-foot wide rural section, totaling 3.17 miles in length. Traffic counts have not been taken within the project area. Drainage is handled through street crossing culverts and drainage swales adjacent to the streets which generally carry runoff to existing wetlands and Anoka County Ditch No. 51. The streets within Countryside Estates were constructed in 1980 and received an overlay in 1995. Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) data taken prior to skim patching shows an average pavement section of 6.5-inches, including 3.2-inches of bituminous and 3.3-inches of aggregate base. Ditch No.51 crosses 176th Avenue and 176th Lane, both culvert crossings have been replaced and are not proposed to be replaced as part of this improvement. Televising of the lines to confirm their conditions will be performed. The remaining street crossing culverts within the subdivision are proposed to be replaced and updated to reinforced concrete pipe. Only minor grading of the ditches to tie -into the new culverts is proposed. The reconstruction is proposed to be a Full -Depth Reclamation (FDR) in the CIP. Soil corrections are not anticipated, and only typical impacts of FDR project including matching into driveways and boulevards approximately 6 to 8 feet from the edge of pavement is anticipated. This will be further explored during project design. Municipal utilities do not exist within the project area, extension of municipal utilities to this subdivision are not proposed as it is outside of the 2040 MUSA.
