The area to be included in the project is shown on Exhibit 1. The proposed project is based on the October 2002 Pavement Rehabilitation Report adopted by the City Council The proposed 2005 Street Reconstruction Project includes the reconstruction of streets, sidewalks, storm drainage, water, and sanitary sewer. The streets included in the proposed project are listed below: Street Upland Avenue Tipton Avenue Fifth Street Fifth Street Seymour Avenue Rush Avenue Quinn Avenue Norfolk Avenue From TH 10 Upland Avenue Upland Avenue TH 10 Fifth Street Fifth Street Fifth Street TH 10 To Main Street Main Street Westerlv Dead End Westerly Dead End TH 10 TH 10 TH 10 Fourth Street II. PROJECT SCOPE The purpose of this study is to analyze the reconstruction of the proposed streets included in the 2005 Street Reconstruction Project. In addition, existing sanitary sewer, water, and storm sewer systems will be evaluated and necessary improvements proposed. The study will discuss the existing conditions, proposed improvements, estimated construction costs, and overhead costs which include city administration, engineering, fiscal, and legal expenses. The Pavement Rehabilitation Report prepared by Howard R. Green and adopted by the City Council in October 2002 will be used as a guideline to discuss financing methods for the proposed improvements. III. NECESSITY AND COST-EFFECTIVENESS The improvements proposed in this study are necessary for a number of reasons. The reconstruction of the streets is a cost-effective means of continuing the City's proactive street efforts and ensuring an adequate means of transportation for the residents. In addition to rehabilitating street pavement, a total street reconstruction will allow for correction of existing drainage problems through the construction of concrete curb and gutter, modifying street grades, and the installation of a storm sewer collection system as needed. Watermain improvements are necessary due to under sized mains, which result in inadequate water flow. The proposed improvements will provide a project large enough to ensure a competitive bidding environment. Therefore, the proposed improvements will be cost-effective. Based on the information contained within this report, the proposed improvements are necessary, cost-effective, and feasible from an engineering standpoint. 1 ,
