Title

INITIATE PROJECT AND ORDER PREPARATION OF FEASIBILITY REPORT FOR THE PAVEMENT MANAGEMENT PROGRAM - 2015 STREET RECONSTRUCTIONS IMPROVEMENT PROJECT NO. 15-07

Background

At the November 6, 2014 Council Workshop, staff brought forward a list of proposed projects for the 2015 Pavement Management Program (PMP).  One of these projects was street reconstructions for various streets throughout the city as shown on the enclosed map.  These streets have been rated and identified as needing to be reconstructed.  The portion of 3^rd Street under consideration was constructed in 1992 and 92^nd Circle was constructed in 1988.  Both streets have concrete curb and gutter and storm sewer.  It is anticipated that the reconstruction will generally consist of removal and replacement of the existing pavement and curb repair/replacement where necessary.

Staff is recommending that the 2015 Street Reconstructions project be composed of the following city streets as shown on the enclosed map:

·      3^rd Street from 101^st Avenue to approximately 400 feet north

·      92^nd Circle from Woodland Road to the cul de sac

The preliminary construction cost estimate is roughly $120,000 to be funded through a combination of assessments to benefitting properties and the PMP capital improvement plan funds.

The Finance Department is in the process of updating the PMP capital improvement plan to reflect the latest cost estimates.  The streets which will be brought forth in the Feasibility Report will reflect the amount of available funding and may be reduced somewhat from what is shown on the enclosed map.

If approved, this resolution initiates the proposed 2015 Street Reconstructions project and orders preparation of a feasibility report.

Recommended Council Action

By motion, approve the Resolution.
