Phone: 612-756-3440 PROJECT INTRODUCTION The City of Elk River has approved a contract with Redstone Construction to make improvements to a number of residential and industrial streets. The improvements will be completed in two separate project areas as shown on the attached project location map. PROJECT INFORMATION The proposed improvement in Project Location 1 is generally described as a full reconstruction of the streets with concrete curb and gutter and a bituminous surface. The sanitary sewer and watermain will be replaced where the existing conditions do not meet existing standards for size and condition. Storm sewer and catch basins will be added to improve drainage. Street lighting will be replaced and added to in accordance with Elk River Municipal Utilities standards. The construction time frame is expected to last for 2 months. Vehicle access will be maintained to all homes as much as possible during the work. There will be isolated times that access to your home will be limited to foot traffic. Construction in Project Area 2 (Industrial Park) will consist of bituminous street reclamation, curb and gutter construction, bituminous overlay, and storm sewer catch basin construction. Estimated construction will be approximately 4 weeks. PROJECT AREA 1 INFORMATION In advance of our planned construction, various private utility companies will be onsite relocating some of their line to allow for our planned construction. At the start of construction the bituminous streets will be milled. The streets will be closed to all thru traffic. Access will be maintained for residents to the extent feasible. Normal working hours expected on this project are from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., Monday through Friday and possibly Saturdays. We will be working with the postal carrier to determine a common location for placement of temporary mailboxes. You will be notified of this location when it is determined. The Contractor will work with the garbage collection service providers to facilitate garbage collection through the duration of the project. Please place your containers curbside on your normally scheduled days. In the areas where sanitary sewer, watermain and storm sewer improvements are being installed, there will be excavations down to depths of 8 feet. During this utility work, a temporary water system will be installed to serve properties along 2"d Street between Railroad Avenue and Evans Avenue, and along Evans Avenue from 2"d Street to Railroad Avenue. Once the new utilities are installed, the grade of the streets can be re-established and the contractor will be moving into the curb and gutter installations. After the concrete curb and gutter has had sufficient time to cure, driveways will be placed. Landscaping will then follow with the installation of sod to reestablish the boulevards. With the exception of 1St Street, the final lift (layer) of bituminous will be placed by city Engineer: June 2012. This gives the initial bituminous a season to settle and cure. As with any Justin F e m r i t e , P . E . construction work, the schedule and completion of the project will be somewhat Phone 763-635-1051 dependent on the weather. 2011 Street Improvements
