5. 12. CC Regular Session Meeting Date: 10/27/2026 Primary Strategic Plan Initiative: Address infrastructure needs. Title: Adopt Resolution #26-241 Approving Final Plans and Specifications and Authorizing Advertisement for Bids for Deerwood Street Reconstructions, Improvement Project #27-03 Purpose/Background: Purpose: The purpose of this case is to adopt Resolution #26-241 approving final plans and specifications and authorizing advertisement for bids for Deerwood Street Reconstructions, Improvement Project #27-03. Background: The 2026 — 2035 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) identifies the streets within Deerwood for street reconstruction in 2027. A street segment summary for the project is attached to this case. Proiect History • March 24, 2026, City Council adopted Resolution #26-080, ordering request for proposals for topographic surveys, geotechnical evaluations, and utility testing for 2027 Pavement Management Program projects. • April 28, 2026, City Council adopted Resolution #26-099, accepting and awarding a proposal to Hakanson Anderson Associates for topographic survey of the project area. • May 12, 2026, City Council adopted Resolution #26-106, accepting and awarding a proposal to Haugo Geotechnical Services for the project area. • May 26, 2026, City Council adopted Resolution #26-118, ordering the City Engineer to prepare plans and specifications for Deerwood Street Reconstructions, Improvement Project #27-03. • October 20, 2026, the Ramsey Public Works Committee recommended City Council approve final plans and specifications and authorize advertisement for bids for said improvements. Existine Conditions This project proposes to reconstruct streets within the Deerwood subdivision, generally located along Gibbon Street and Eland Street, north of 173rd Avenue. The streets are 24-foot-wide rural section, totaling 1.13 miles in length. Traffic counts have not been taken within the project area, however, there are no known destinations within the subdivision which would increase traffic above normal. Drainage is handled through street crossing culverts and drainage swales which generally carry storm water to existing wetlands throughout the subdivision. The streets within Deerwood were constructed in 1982 and received an overlay in 1998. Since the overlay crack seal / seal coat treatments were perfouned in 2004 and 2012. Significant patching has been performed over the last several years. Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) data shows an average pavement section of 6.5 to 8.7 inches, including 3.6 to 4.5 inches of bituminous over 2.4 to 5.1 inches of aggregate base. The geotechnical report included pavement cores which showed similar pavement sections, some of the cores essentially disintegrated while coring, with the pavement being brittle. The subsoils are composed of poorly graded sand, poorly graded sand with silt, silty sand and one boring found clayey sands. Poorly graded sand and poorly graded sand with silt are considered excellent material for utility and road support. Silty sand and clayey sand can be used as utility and road support when properly constructed so they can properly drain, as they can be slightly frost susceptible. Groundwater was found at depths of 7 to 10 feet below the pavement, this is not anticipated to be an issue during construction. Proiect Scone The reconstruction is proposed to be a version of a Full -Depth Reclamation (FDR). Because the existing section isn't thick enough for the new pavement section, after the roadway is reclaimed, the reclaim material must be hauled out, and an additional 3-inches of subsoil material will be hauled out. The reclaim material while be moved back into place to act as a recycled aggregate base, and the new pavement will be placed in two lifts. The new pavement section is proposed to be 3.5- inches of new bituminous over 6-inches of aggregate base. The road profile and alignment generally stay in the same location, with some minor corrections to curves occurring, but does typically impact 6 to 8 feet of adjacent boulevard and driveways.
