oward R. Green Qompany Item 6.15. Apdl 15, 2004 File: 823100J-0030 Honorable Mayor and City Council City of Elk River 13065 Orono Parkway Elk River, MN 55330 RE: BITUMINOUS OVERLAY IMPROVEMENT OF 2004 Dear Council Members: On February 23rd, the City Council adopted Resolution 04-13. Ordedng the Feasibility Study for the Bituminous Oveday Improvement of 2004. A copy of that feasibility study is attached. The feasibility study looks at providing a bituminous oveday in six subdivisions, including M-Vale Addition, Brentwood Addition, Heavenly Hills, Fairhaven Hills Addition, Greenhead Acreslst Addition, Belgin Acres Addition. This project is very similar to previous assessable oveday projects undertaken by the City in the past. The feasibility study proposes to have the bituminous oveday 100 percent assessed to the benefited properties. As in past projects the City street department will prepare the existing bituminous surface by patching any severely disturbed areas pdor to the oveday. The street department will also restore the gravel shoulders as needed after the overlay. The feasibility study estimates an assessment rate of $2175.00 per residential equivalent unit. This is slightly more then previous years for two reasons; first all six areas are large lot subdivisions in the rural area of the city, second is the escalating costs of oil products. In the past the City has held a joint public headng and an assessment headng on these overlay projects to minimize the amount of times the benefited property owners need to come to City Hall. We have typically prepared the plans and received a bid pdor to the assessment headng so we will be able to present actual numbers at the headng. Attached for the City Council's consideration are four resolutions. They are as follows: · Resolution Receiving the Feasibility Study and Ordedng a Public Headng. Resolution Determining the Assessed Cost of the Improvement and Preparation of Assessment Roll. · Resolution Establishing the Date for the Assessment Headng. · Resolution Ordedng the Preparation of Plans and Specifications. Ordering the We would recommend adoption of all four resolutions. The public headng and assessment heating would be held on June 7, 2004. At that time we would have an actual bid and could adjust the assessment rate downward if the bid was lower then the feasibility study estimate.
