Wedel, City Engineer MEETING DATE: May 14, 2012 TOPIC: Approve Plans and Specifications and Authorize Advertisement for Bids, 2012 Overlay Project VOTE REQUIRED: 3/5 Vote Required BACKGROUND In accordance with the City's Pavement Management Policy that was adopted by the City Council on May 10, 2005, streets are selected annually for milling and overlaying. On January 9, 2012 the City Council authorized the preparation of plans and specifications for the 2012 Overlay Project. Candidate streets were selected based on recommendations from the Pavement Management Report, Public Works input, and feasibility of locations. The original project scope presented to the City Council on January 9, 2012, included Bradley Street, Leonard Avenue and Lilac Street. The Lilac Street improvements have since been incorporated into Anoka County's reclamation project for this year and are no longer part of the City's project as discussed at the City Council work session that was held on April 23, 2012. Overlaying is typically a maintenance activity that includes patching of the existing street, followed by the placement of a bituminous wearing course of the entire surface. As part of the design of the improvements for Bradley Street and Leonard Avenue pavement corings were performed on the existing bituminous. It was discovered that there is an inadequate amount of existing pavement to perform a traditional mill and overlay. This project will therefore require the complete reclamation of the existing bituminous in place and 3 -1/2 inches of new bituminous will be paved on top of it. An estimated total construction cost for this project is $233,340. This estimate includes the engineering cost to be paid by the hour which will not exceed $11,600. Included in the engineering cost are plan and specification preparation, bidding, construction inspection, and project close out. The City has allocated a budget for all of the 2012 Pavement Management Projects of $467,250 of which $233,340 will be directed to this project.
