Permits As part of the Edgerton Street bridge replacement project, MNDOT will obtain a Ramsey- Washington Metro Watershed permit for discharge of storm water, and a NPDES permit for construction of the approach areas. Estimated Project Cost MNDOT has developed preliminary costs estimates for the Edgerton Street Bridge replacement project, which includes the reconstruction of the bridge approaches, storm sewer system and City water main. The estimated cost to reconstruct the Edgerton Street Bridge approach areas to an urban section is $84,738.16. Adding 10% contingency and 20% overhead to this construction cost results in a total of $111,854.36. The estimated cost to modify the storm sewer system design for the Edgerton Street Bridge replacement project to accomidate future storm water that may be directed to this area is $284,851.50 of which the City of Little Canada is responsible for 55% or $156,668.32. Adding 10% contingency and 20% overhead to this construction cost results in a total of $206,802.18. The estimated cost for the City of Little Canada water main in the Edgerton Street Bridge replacement approach reconstruction area west of Edgerton Street is $39,815.01. Adding 10% contingency and 20% overhead to this construction cost results in a total of $52,555.81. A copy of MNDOT's preliminary detail construction estimate breakdown is attached. Financing Residential Assessment Based on the City Assessment Policy that governs street reconstruction /rehabilitation, the primary method of financing street improvements is to assess the adjacent property owners on a front foot basis. The actual assessable cost of a rural street reconstruction upgrade to an urban section is 85% of the cost based on an urban section consisting of concrete curb and gutter, three inches of bituminous, and eight inches of aggregate base for a maximum street width of 30 feet. The City's current cap on the assessment rate that can charged per front foot for an urban, residential street is $51.50. Commercial Assessment The actual assessable cost of a street serving commercial properties is 80% of the project cost, excluding storm sewer, and 100% of the concrete curb and gutter cost. The City's current cap on the assessment rate that can be charged per front foot for an urban, commercial street is $105.00. Water Main Assessment Based on the City Water Main Assessment Policy, the sole method of financing the installation of an 8 -inch water main and related appurtenances shall be borne by the affected property owners. The preferred method of assessment, as stated in the City's Water Main Assessment Policy, would be on a "per lot" basis. The current maximum assessment for water main is $5,600.00 per lot.
