The new concrete curb and gutter is proposed to match the elevation and location of the existing curb and gutter <br />as close as practical. Since driveway locations are known, curb cuts will be added. Driveway and boulevards <br />will be impacted, typically 6 to 8 feet behind the curb and gutter. In some areas driveway match -ins must go <br />further than 8 feet back, however, all work is proposed to occur within the right-of-way. <br />Restoration of the impacted boulevards will include a minimum of 4-inches topsoil and hydroseed with a <br />residential turf seed mix. <br />Municipal utilities exist throughout the project area. Repairs to pipes are not proposed with this project. All <br />castings and valve boxes within the pavement and curb will need to be adjusted to match the new bituminous <br />pavement elevation. <br />Preliminary Schedule Remaining <br />• Council approves plans and specifications / authorizes ad for bids <br />o January 27, 2026 <br />• Staff Receives Bids <br />o March 3, 2026 <br />• Council Awards Contract to the Lowest Responsible Bidder <br />o March 10, 2026 <br />• Contractor Begins Construction <br />o Spring / Summer 2026 <br />o Detailed construction schedule will not be known until project is awarded and a pre -construction <br />meeting is held with the contractor. <br />• Contractor Substantially Completes Construction <br />o New bituminous pavement in -place, topsoil and seed in -place <br />o August 28, 2026 <br />• Contractor Final Completion <br />o Verify final restoration; punch list created <br />o October 2, 2026 <br />Final plans are not attached to this case to prevent potential bidders from downloading plans attached to the <br />case to prepare and submit their bids, rather than purchasing the plans through QuestCDN, the electronic <br />bidding software used by the City of Ramsey.
