STAFF REPORT TO: Mayor Keis and Members of the City Council FROM: Mark D. Kasma, P.E., City Engineer DATE: July 18, 2019 RE: Little Canada Road - Paver’s Project ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: Motion to select a pavement alternative(s) for bidding purposes for the Little Canada Road Pavers Project. The estimated overall project cost is $677,000 (remove and replace existing pavers alternate). BACKGROUND: At the City Council meeting on June 24th, the Council was presented with a staff report and an aerial flight presentation of the proposed pavers project on Little Canada Road. At that time, the City Engineer was told to go ahead with final plans and specifications. City Engineer was also told to get an alternate bid for a concrete option rather than removing and replacing the existing pavers. After further discussions with the City Administrator and the Public Works Director, the direction to the City Engineer was to identify three (3) alternatives for the pavers project with an option to add additional green space to the boulevard area. Attached to this report are illustrations of the three (3) pavement alternatives. They are as follows: •Alternate 1 – Maintain Existing Pavers •Alternate 2 – All Concrete •Alternate 3 – Paver and Concrete Mix Along with the three (3) alternates, there is an option to decrease some of the impervious areas and expand the planting areas. This planting expansion can be accomplished with any of the three (3) pavement alternatives. A power point presentation of the alternatives and planting expansion will be presented by Madeline Dahlheimer, Landscape Architect for Bolton & Menk. SOURCE OF FUNDS: There is approximately $515,000 in the TIF 3-2 Fund available for this project. Additional funds will need to come from other funding sources. A possible source of these funds is the General Capital Improvement Fund(400). STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommends that the City Council chose a preferred pavement alternative and advise staff on whether an expanded planting area should be included in the final plans and specifications.
