REQUEST FOR ACTION ver To Item Number Ci Council 6.2. Agenda Section Meeting Date Prepared by Public Works A ri16, 2009 Ter Maurer, Public Works Director Item Description Reviewed by Discussion of (3) Street Improvement projects contained in Lori ohnson, Ci Administrator 2009 Capital Improvements Program (CIP) Reviewed by Action Requested Staff requests direction from the City Council on whether or not to proceed to an informational meeting for the three street improvement projects contained in the 2009 CIP. Background/Discussion As was discussed with the City Council briefly last month, there are three street improvement projects contained in the 2009 CIP. The projects consist of (1) the Norfolk, Morton, Lowell and King Avenue neighborhood south of Main Street; (2) Railroad Drive, Freeport, Evans Avenue neighborhood south of Main Street: (3) a mill and overlay of Main Street from Lowell Avenue to Orono Road. These areas are shown on the attached three exhibits. As requested by the City Council, we have done further analysis of the three areas relative to the improvements needed, the estimated project costs, potential assessable properties, and the remaining city contribution. Based on this information, the following is a brief description of our findings: A. Norfolk, Morton, Lowell and King Avenue Neighborhood In this neighborhood, the concrete curb and gutter is generally in good shape, although there are some needed spot repairs. The bituminous surfacing is deteriorated to the point that it needs to be replaced. The concrete sidewalk throughout the neighborhood is also in disrepair. The proposed improvements would leave the existing concrete curb and gutter, mill the existing bituminous surfacing completely leaving as much as possible for additional aggregate base and repave two layers of bituminous surfacing. All of the concrete sidewalk is anticipated to be replaced with the addition of new pedestrian ramps at the appropriate locations. There are minor storm sewer repairs also anticipated with this project. There are no anticipated sanitary sewer improvements and only the replacement of old style hydrants for watermain improvements. The anticipated construction cost including overhead and a small contingency is approximately $500,000. We estimate that there are approximately 55 - 60 assessable units in this area. Since this is a new approach to street rehabilitation being much more than an overlay, but less than a total reconstruction, there is no past history of assessment level. Staff feels that with an assessment between $4,000-$5,000 per single family home, the result
