ULGUI LHG ASSO(IATtc Memo TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members FROM: Lee Elfering, City Engineer DATE: August 23, 2013 RE: Arkwright - Sunrise Area Feasibility Study Addition Little Canada Portion of McMenemy Street The Arkwright- Sunrise Feasibility Study prepared by the City of Maplewood is attached to this memo. The project feasibility study includes the reconstruction of the Little Canada portion of McMenemy Street. In addition to the street work the existing Cast Iron Pipe (CIP) watermain is being replaced with new Ductile Iron Pipe (DIP) and areas of deteriorated sanitary sewer are being lined. The sanitary and watermain systems serving the area are Maplewood systems, but they do provide service or the potential for service to the Little Canada properties. The study addresses the existing conditions, proposed improvements, and documents the need for the project, its feasibility, and cost effectiveness. Due to the completion of the feasibility study by Maplewood staff and their City's inability to assess residents of Little Canada, the cost recovery section of the document only provides an overall cost to the City of Little Canada. This memo is to provide additional information to the City Council on the funding of Little Canada's portion of the improvements. The total cost of the project to the City of Little Canada is estimated at $243,000.00 which is exactly half the costs estimated for the work on McMenemy Street. This includes the lining of the sanitary sewer, replacement of the watermain, and the street and storm sewer improvements. Using the estimated project costs we have prepared a preliminary assessment roll for the Little Canada properties that access McMenemy Street. Based on the City of Little Canada's assessment policy up to 85% of street reconstruction costs can be assessed based on an 8,/3" urban section with a maximum assessment rate of $65.25 per front foot. For this project the maximum front foot rate would apply. Based on these assessment figures approximately 25.5% of the project costs will be assessed and 74.5% of the costs will be borne by the City. The preliminary assessment roll is also attached to this memo for additional information.
