5. 13. <br />CC Regular Session <br />Meeting Date: <br />Primary Strategic Plan Initiative: <br />06/09/2026 <br />Title: <br />Adopt Resolution #26-140 Accepting Proposal for Andrie Street and 164th Lane Pavement Evaluation <br />Purpose/Background: <br />Purpose: <br />The purpose of this case is to adopt Resolution #26-140 accepting the proposal for Andrie Street and 164th Lane <br />Pavement Evaluation from American Engineering Testing for the lump sum total of $10,700.00. <br />Background: <br />Andrie Street and 164th Lane was reconstructed in 2016 with a 10-ton pavement strength design consisting of <br />3.5-inches bituminous over 6.0-inches aggregate base. The project was reconstructed, inspected, and tested <br />following MnDOT specifications and MSA design standards. <br />Since reconstruction, these streets received a crack seal treatment in 2019 and 2023. Additionally, an application <br />of rejuvenator was applied in 2022. <br />In the spring of 2026 staff noted longitudinal and fine alligator cracking in the wheel paths along the majority of <br />this corridor. This type of cracking is not anticipated in a pavement of this age and reconstructed to these design <br />standards. Because the street was crack sealed in 2023, staff can verify the majority of cracking has occurred <br />within the last 2 — 3 years. Staff reviewed the streets constructed or reconstructed at a similar time as Andrie Street <br />and 164th Lane, and did not find similar cracking. <br />Staff contacted American Engineering Testing (AET), the City's current geotechnical and construction testing <br />services firm, to provide a proposal for forensic evaluation of the pavement to understand possible causes of the <br />distresses and provide recommendations for potential repair solutions. AET's approach will be as non-destructive <br />as practical, using a combination of Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR), field exploration including 5 or 6 pavement <br />cores, soil laboratory testing, and asphalt laboratory testing. The proposal is attached to this case for reference. <br />This proposal and AET's recommendations will assist city staff in determining the next proper maintenance or <br />construction activity for Andrie Street and 164th Lane. Staff will update this project in the next CIP accordingly. <br />Notification: <br />The field work will cause little to no delays, and be performed under traffic, so notifications are not required. <br />Time Frame/Observations/Alternatives: <br />Alternatives: <br />Motion to adopt Resolution #26-140 accepting the proposal for Andrie Street and 164th Lane Pavement <br />Evaluation from American Engineering Testing for the lump sum total of $10,700.00. <br />Funding Source: <br />Funding for this work is proposed to come from Municipal State Aid Funds. <br />Recommendation: <br />
