Title

RECEIVE FEASIBILITY REPORT AND ORDER PUBLIC HEARING FOR THE RECONSTRUCTION OF UNIVERSITY AVENUE FROM 125^TH LANE TO BENGAL DRIVE, IMPROVEMENT PROJECT NO. 19-22

Background

The proposed joint project between the City of Blaine and the City of Coon Rapids will reconstruct University Avenue from 125^th Lane, approximately 340 feet north of 125^th Avenue, to Bengal Drive.  The work will consist of reclaiming the existing bituminous pavement, removal of all existing concrete curb and gutter, minor storm sewer improvements, aggregate base, installation of new concrete curb and gutter and bituminous pavement and appurtenant construction.

The estimated cost of improvements is $447,400.00.  The estimated cost split is 43.3% of the costs to the City of Blaine and 56.7% of the costs to the City of Coon Rapids.  The estimated City of Blaine portion of the cost of improvements is $193,750.00 with $67,812.50 proposed to be assessed over a fifteen-year period.  The remaining portion of $125,937.50 is proposed to be paid from the City’s Pavement Management Program Funds.

The project is necessary, cost-effective, and feasible and will result in a benefit to the properties proposed to be assessed.
