Project Scope This project proposes to reconstruct the streets within the Flintwood Hills 2nd & 3rd subdivision, generally located east of Dysprosium Street between Bunker Lake Boulevard/CSAH 116 and Nowthen Boulevard/CSAH 5. The subdivision also includes 142nd Avenue west of Dysprosium Street to Flintwood Park. The streets are 30-foot wide urban sections with concrete curb and gutter, totaling 0.83 miles in length. There is no sidewalk in the subdivision other than at the intersections with Dysprosium Street. Any pedestrian ramp updates would be tied to Dysprosium Street, rather than this project. Traffic counts have not been taken within the project area. Municipal sewer, water, and storm sewer exist within the project area. Utility testing will be performed during project design and utility improvements are not currently proposed. Storm sewer catch basin grouting and casting resets will be performed. The streets within Flintwood Hills 2nd & 3rd were constructed between 1985 and 1987, no overlays have been performed on these streets. Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) data taken prior to shim patching shows an average pavement section of 6.6-inches, including 2.5-inches of bituminous and 4.1-inches of aggregate base. The reconstruction is proposed to be a Full Reconstruction including replacing the concrete curb and gutter, and building back a full street section. The new street section will match today's standards, 6-inches of aggregate base
