Howard R. Green Company <br />Proiect No. 802400J <br /> <br />Pavement Rehabilitation Report <br /> City of Elk River, Minnesota <br /> <br />Exhibit 1 illustrates the streets that need to be reconstructed at this time. The financial <br />burden on the City that would result from the reconstruction of all these streets in a <br />single construction season makes one large project unfeasible. However, the project <br />size must be large enough in scale to insure that competitive bids will be received. <br />Therefore, the streets have been grouped together into projects that have a total project <br />cost of approximately $1,000,000.00 using today's construction costs. In addition to the <br />financial concerns, the location of the streets was taken into account to minimize the <br />frequency of the construction impacts to residents when determining which streets <br />should be grouped together. In addition, the streets that contain watermain that needs <br />to be upsized for fire flow protection are proposed to be reconstructed in the first few <br />phases. <br /> <br />The base <br /> <br />improvements used in determining the $1,000,000.00 project size includes: <br /> <br />Reconstruction of the roadway <br />Installation/Improvement of the storm sewer if necessary <br />Installation of sidewalk <br />Street lighting <br />Boulevard Restoration <br />28% overhead <br /> <br />The 28% overhead is in accordance with the City's assessment manual. It includes city <br />administration, engineering design, construction staking and inspection, and fiscal and <br />legal costs. <br /> <br />The cost of the installation of watermain and/or sanitary sewer, or the repair of either <br />system would be in addition to the $1,000,000.00 costs. These costs were not included <br />due to the separate means of finance used to fund these types of improvements, such <br />as Elk River Municipal Utilities and the general sanitary sewer budget. <br /> <br />A preliminary construction cost estimate for each street is provided in the Appendix. <br />The estimates are based on construction costs from recent years. An increase in <br />construction costs from inflation has not been added, but it should be noted that future <br />project costs would be higher due to inflation of construction costs and/or construction <br />materials. As each individual project is authorized, a more detailed cost estimate will be <br />completed with revised construction costs in the feasibility phase. <br /> <br />No costs have been included for the acquisition of utility easements and rights-of-way. <br /> <br />The proposed project phasing is shown on <br /> <br /> <br />
