Mississippi Estates Reconstruction and the Bowers Drive Overlay Improvements. Because a sanitary sewer lift station is adjacent to the storm sewer at the intersection of Dolomite Street, there is not enough space to retro-fit a structure near the roadway for this second, smaller outlet. Proposed Improvements This project is proposed to be a full -depth reclamation (FDR) on 137th Avenue and Dolomite Street, which includes grinding up the existing bituminous and aggregate base, hauling off excess material, and placing new bituminous pavement. The existing pavement section is sufficient to allow for 3.5-inches of new bituminous pavement over 5-inches of aggregate base, which will be made of the recycled reclamation material. Spot concrete curb and gutter replacements will occur, which will require spot driveway end replacements. The majority of the concrete curb and gutter and driveways will remain in -place. The utilities were tested during design, no repairs were found to be necessary in the reconstruction area. Catch basins will be adjusted and/or grouted as part of the project, but no additional structures or full replacements will be necessary. Ebony Street will receive a 2-inch mill and overlay as part of this project. Ebony Street was originally included in the 2026 Neighborhood Overlay project, but moved to this project due to project location. Staff anticipates this will result in an overall cost savings for the city by reducing mobilization costs. Utility testing did find 1 length of storm sewer pipe which will require replacement as part of the project. The project will include pedestrian ramp improvements at the intersection of Ebony Street and 137th Avenue, as well to the trail crossing on the north side of 137th Avenue. This improvements will bring the pedestrian ramps up to current ADA standard. Restoration of the impacted boulevards will include a minimum of 4-inches topsoil and hydroseed with a residential turf seed mix.
