WS – Item #7 WORK SESSION STAFF REPORT Work Session Item No. 7 Date: August 7, 2017 To: City Council From: Michael Grochala, Community Development Director Re: 2018 Street Reconstruction Project – West Shadow and LaMotte Area Background On June 12, 2017 the City Council held a public hearing and took action to adopt Resolution No. 17-54 approving the 5 Year Street Reconstruction Plan (2017 – 2021). The plan includes the proposed reconstruction of the West Shadow and LaMotte Area in 2018. 4th Avenue (north of Main), Diane Street, 81 St., Elbe St. and Danube St are proposed for reconstruction in 2021. The plan was subject to a reverse referendum process which allows city residents to submit a petition to request an election on the plan. The petitioning period closed on July 12, 2017 and no petition was received. As a result the council may consider moving forward with the proposed 2018 improvements. The next step in the process will be to authorize preparation of plans and specifications. WSB, City Engineer, has submitted a proposal to provide these services. The proposal includes: • Site data collection including topographic survey, well and septic system survey, sump pump investigation, soil borings and evaluation, and culture resources review. • Preliminary and Final Design plans for street, storm, water and sanitary sewer improvements. Design includes culvert replacement as well as proposed stormwater lift station on West Shadow. • ROW/easement acquisition services including title research, owner meetings, acquisition reports, and document preparation. (Additional services may be required depending on the scope and complexity of any proposed acquisition). • Public Involvement and communications including neighborhood meetings and project website. The proposed fee for services is $506,220. The estimated construction cost is $5,612,000 including both sanitary sewer and water improvements. Total project cost, including construction contingencies, engineering, legal and administrative costs is approximately $6,970,000. The inclusion of sanitary sewer and water in the project will be determined during the final design process following additional neighborhood discussion and review. Once authorized WSB will begin the data collection process including the topo survey and septic/well inventory on the project. Neighborhood meetings would soon follow.
