Title

ORDER IMPROVEMENT AND ORDER PREPARATION OF PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS FOR RECONSTRUCTION OF UNIVERSITY AVENUE FROM 125TH LANE TO BENGAL DRIVE, IMPROVEMENT PROJECT NO. 19-22

 

Background

Notice for this hearing has been published and mailed. 

The proposed project between the City of Blaine and the City of Coon Rapids will reconstruct University Avenue from 125th Lane, approximately 340 feet north of 125th Avenue, to Bengal Drive.

 

Proposed improvements will include 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 the improvements is $447,400.  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 with $67,812.50 proposed to be assessed over a 15-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.
