City Council <br />April 17, 2003 <br />Page Two <br /> <br />· Watermain to the City Garage <br /> This is the project that brought the watermain to the City Public Works facility for <br /> the new sprinkler system. The improvement was complete and operational in the <br /> fall of 2002; however, there is minor punchlist work to be completed in the spdng of <br /> 2003 prior to finalizing the contract. <br />· Orono Parkway Improvements <br /> The contractor for this project is Jay Brothers, Inc. Their work was also <br /> substantially complete in 2002. The only remaining item for the spring of 2003 is <br /> seeding of the medians adjacent to the City Hall area. This will be completed in the <br /> next several weeks, and the contract will be finalized. <br /> <br />New City Projects <br /> <br />· Boston Street/Concord Street Area <br /> As you are aware, this project consists of installing sanitary sewer and watermain in <br /> the Boston Street/Concord Street area. Together with the utilities, it is proposed to <br /> reconstruct the streets to an urban standard. A walkthrough was completed on <br /> April 14, 2003, and the City Council authorized Advertisements for Bid the same <br /> evening. Bids will be opened on May 7, 2003, and be brought to the Council on <br /> May 12, 2003, to set a date for the Assessment Hearing, where a final decision on <br /> the project can be made. <br />· 2003 Pavement Rehabilitation Improvement <br /> This is the street reconstruction on Fourth Street between Main Street and TH 10, <br /> along with side streets one block either direction. The walkthrough on this project <br /> is scheduled for Monday and Tuesday, April 21 and 22. The bid is scheduled for <br /> May 7, and staff will be bringing forward to the Council paperwork to establish the <br /> Assessment Hearing for May 12, 2003. This project is dependent on the State <br /> legislative action relative to whether or not the City will be able to fund this <br /> improvement in 2003. <br />· TH fO/Main Street Intersection <br /> This is a federally funded intersection improvement in fiscal year 2005. We have <br /> completed the environmental documentation and approval process through <br /> MnDOT. Plans have been submitted to MnDOT and are currently under review. It <br /> is possible that this project could be moved up to 2003, utilizing State Aid General <br /> Fund account monies to pay for the project until the federal money is available in <br /> 2005. Once plans are approved, we will bring this forward to the Council for <br /> discussion. <br /> <br />B.
