Public Works Committee Meeting Date: 12/16/2025 Primary Strategic Plan Initiative: Address infrastructure needs. 5. 3. Title: Consider Recommending City Council Approving Plans and Specifications and Authorizing Advertisement for Bids for Section 01 Unplatted Street Reconstructions, Improvement Project #26-07 Purpose/Background: Purpose: The purpose of this case is to consider recommending City Council approve plans and specifications and authorizing advertisement for bids for Section 01 Unplatted Street Reconstructions, Improvement Project #26-07. Background: The 2026 — 2035 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) identifies the streets within the Section 01 Unplatted south of CR 27 subdivision for street reconstruction in 2026. A street segment summary for the project is attached to this case. Project History • 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, 2025, the Ramsey Public Works Committee recommended City Council order plans and specifications for said improvements. • June 24, 2025, the Ramsey City Council adopted Resolution #25-141, ordering plans and specifications for said improvements. • November 13, 2025, staff held a public open house for property owners impacted by these improvements. The open house was attended by 5 residents. Project Scope This project proposes to reconstruct the streets within the Section 01 Unplatted subdivision, generally located west of CSAH 7 and south of 179th Lane (CR 27). The streets are 24-foot wide with a combination of rural and urban with bituminous curbing. Much of the bituminous curbing appears to be placed to address localized drainage within the subdivision, and eventually runs to flumes and swales. The streets total 1.44 miles in length. Drainage is handled through ditches adjacent to the streets, and runs to ponds and wetlands, which exist throughout the project area. The streets within Section 01 Unplatted were constructed in 1980 and received an overlay in 1999. GPR data shows an average pavement section of 6.6-inches, including 4.0-inches of bituminous and 2.6-inches of aggregate base. The reconstruction of the streets is generally proposed to be a Full -Depth Reclamation (FDR). Bituminous curbing is proposed to be replaced with surmountable concrete curb and gutter where necessary for drainage. After review of the geotechnical report, soil correction will be required along 178th Lane, 179th Avenue, and the north half of Tonto Street. Soil corrections will include the removal and replacement of 1-foot of subbase material below the roadway. The pavement section will include 3.5-inches of bituminous over 6-inches aggregate base. The aggregate base is anticipated to be made up of recycled reclamation material.
