City of <br /> Elk - Request for Action <br /> River O. <br /> To Item Number <br /> Mayor and City Council 8.2 <br /> Agenda Section Meeting Date Prepared by <br /> Work Session November 3, 2014 Suzanne Fischer,Director, CODD <br /> Item Description Reviewed by <br /> Rivers Edge Commons Park Paver Project Tim Simon, Finance Director <br /> Reviewed by <br /> Cal Portner, City Administrator <br /> Action Requested <br /> Informational. <br /> Background/Discussion <br /> In 2007,pavers were installed at the crosswalks of Main Street and Jackson Avenue and on the alley <br /> adjacent to Rivers Edge Commons Park. Unfortunately, the pavers were from a defective batch and have <br /> prematurely deteriorated. They require replacement for aesthetic and safety reasons. The city has <br /> received numerous complaints on their unsightliness and the uneven surface increases the city's liability if <br /> pedestrians trip and fall. <br /> The supplier,Borgert Products, Inc.,has agreed to donate permeable pavers for the crosswalk and alley <br /> sites. The city would be responsible for site demolition and aggregate base work. Permeable pavers are <br /> increasing in popularity due to their ability to reduce stormwater runoff. This attribute also supports a <br /> best management practice required by the city's stormwater permit. Installing permeable pavers would <br /> address the concerns of aesthetics, safety, and stormwater control simultaneously. <br /> Restoration options reviewed at the November 3, 2014,work session: <br /> 1. Install pavers at crosswalk and alley <br /> 2. Install pavers at crosswalk,upper and lower parts of alley, and asphalt midsection of alley <br /> 3. Install pavers at crosswalk and asphalt alley <br /> 4. Asphalt crosswalk and alley <br /> Bolton-Menk quoted engineering design services for the alley at $28,080. This would include stormwater <br /> runoff calculations and construction specifications. Executing this agreement would be the initial step of <br /> the project. <br /> Financial Impact <br /> N/A <br /> Attachments <br /> • PowerPoint <br /> • Bolton-Menk Quote <br /> P a w E A E U a r <br /> Template Updated 4/14 INIM UREI <br />
