Howarc R. Green Company <br />CONSULTING ENGINEERS <br />February 19, 1999 <br />File: 805140J -0030 <br />The Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />City of Little Canada <br />515 Little Canada Road <br />Little Canada, MN 55117 <br />RE: LABORE ROAD RECONSTRUCTION <br />AMENDED FEASIBILITY STUDY <br />Dear Council Members: <br />As requested, we have proceeded with the initial design concepts and cost estimates for the <br />potential reconstruction of the north end of Labore Road. This would be essentially from Arcade <br />Street to County Road D. We have estimated the cost to convert this section of roadway from <br />its current rural section design to a 32 -foot wide urban design including a piped storm sewer <br />system. <br />The estimated total project cost including overhead for this project would be $775,000.00. This <br />cost does not include easement acquisition that would likely be necessary for the storm sewer <br />system outlet. We have also made an estimate of the assessable cost based on the City's <br />assessment policy. Our estimate indicates that approximately $345,000.00 would be <br />assessable. This would result in a City contribution to this project of $430,000.00, plus <br />easement acquisition. <br />Given the current condition of the roadway in this area and the anticipated life expectancy after <br />the County cold -in -place recycles the roadway, we question whether or not this amount of City <br />contribution to a reconstruction project would be prudent at this time. If the City does want to <br />proceed, we can quickly modify the existing feasibility study and go to a public hearing with the <br />affected property owners. <br />Please let us know how you would like us to proceed with this project. <br />Sincerely, <br />HOWARD R.
