AGENDA ITEM 5B STAFF ORIGINATOR: David Ahrens, Public Works Director /City Engineer DATE: March 23, 1998 TOPIC: Resolution No. 98 -27 - Approve Plans and Specifications and Authorize Advertisement for Bids, Lakes Addition Street Reconstruction Project INTRODUCTION: The public hearing for the Lakes Addition Street Reconstruction Project was held on Monday, July 28, 1997. On November 10, 1998, Council ordered the improvement and preparation of plans and specifications after the voters of the City passed a bond referendum to pay for a portion of the project costs. Staff held a neighborhood meeting on Tuesday, February 24, 1998, to present the plans and answer any questions that property owners may have on the project. Plans and specifications are complete and staff is requesting Council approval of the plans and authorization to advertisement for bids. BACKGROUND: The project consists of the total reconstruction of the following streets: E. Shadow Lk. Drive Black Duck Drive Cul-de -sac Lantern Lane Black Duck Drive E Shadow Lake Drive Lantern Circle Lantem Lane Cul-de -sac Partridge Place Black Duck Drive Black Duck Drive Black Duck Drive Birch Street 230' N. Crystal Court Black Duck Circle Black Duck Drive Cul-de -sac Mallard Lane Black Duck Drive Cul-de -sac Crystal Court Black Duck Drive Cul-de -sac The project was initiated by a report investigating the condition of all streets within the City. This neighborhood was selected for reconstruction due to the poor quality of the streets. Project Financing The project is estimated to cost $1,960,360 for the reconstruction of the streets and installation of storm sewers. An additional $291,270 of utility costs is proposed to bring the City's sanitary sewer system and water system to current City standards and install a watermain from wellhouse no 1 to Birch Street. The utility work includes reconstructing the top sections of sanitary sewer manholes and installing valves at each hydrant lead. The watermain from existing wellhouse no 1 to Birch Street will provide for a future connection to a water treatment plant housed in wellhouse no 3. This watermain work is proposed at this time since the majority of it runs under Blackduck Drive. With the reconstruction of the streets, the work can be done very efficiently. The funding for the sanitary sewer repairs and watermain work items are planned to be from the Area and Unit Fund as noted below.
