• CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM 6C STAFF ORIGINATOR: Jason C. Wedel, City Engineer MEETING DATE: May 14, 2012 TOPIC : Consider Resolution 12 -42 Authorizing Amendment to Joint Powers Agreement with Anoka County VOTE REQUIRED: 3/5 Vote Required BACKGROUND On October 5, 2009, the City Council approved a joint powers agreement (JPA) with Anoka County for the reconstruction of the I -35E /CSAH 14 interchange. On September 12, 2011, the City Council approved an amendment to the JPA that included a payment to the City of $300,000 in consideration for the turnback of Lilac Street. The City has since received that payment. Lilac Street is currently included in the City's 2012 overlay project. As part of the design of Lilac Street, we completed several pavement corings of the existing pavement and determined that the pavement is only 3- inches thick and is paved directly on top of the existing sand subgrade without any class 5 beneath it. The existing pavement is not in great shape and we believe performing an overlay will only extend the life of the street another 10 -15 years. Staff is recommending that the City reclaim the existing pavement, creating a new class 5 base with the reclaimed material, and pave 4- inches of new pavement on top of the reclaimed material. This will provide a structurally stronger street section that will have an estimated life expectancy of 30- 40 years. Anoka County is completing a massive pavement reclamation project at multiple locations within the County this year and they graciously included Lilac Street as an alternate to their bids at the City's request. The bid opening occurred on April 4th and the low bidder included an alternate price of $312,278.56 for Lilac Street. The bid price received by the County is very favorable and it is therefore in the City's best interest to have the County complete this project on behalf of the City. The County is requesting the refund of the original $300,000 that was provided to the City for Lilac Street and that the City fund any costs in excess of $300,000. The additional cost above the $300,000 is proposed to be covered from the City's pavement management fund. Due to past pavement management projects coming in under budget, there is a sufficient balance to cover the additional costs.
