“Move to approve Resolution No. 2014-28, approving the plans and specifications and ordering the
advertisement for bids for the 2014 Street Improvements.” LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: In accordance with the 2014-2018 Street Capital Improvement Plan the City is performing street
improvements for Packard Park area, 20th Street Court North, 20th Street North, Manning Trail North, Deer Pond Trail North, and Deer Pond Court North. On February 5, 2014, the council authorized the preparation of plans and specifications for the 2014 Street Improvements. In accordance with the project schedule, the plans and specifications for the improvements have been completed and are ready to be advertised for contractor bids. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Plans and Specifications have been completed for the 2014 Street Improvements. The total estimated project cost is $1,811,000. The improvements include:
• Street reclamation with concrete curb and gutter for the Packard Park neighborhood including 24th Street North from Lake Elmo Avenue to Legion Avenue, 24th Street Court North, Lansing Avenue North, and 20th Street Court North;
• Street reclamation for Legion Avenue North from 24th Street to 20th Street;
• Street reconstruction with gravel shoulders along Manning Trail North from Manning Avenue to 370 feet north of 18th Street (Lake Elmo city limits).
• Manning Trail North in West Lakeland Township consisting of 370 feet of roadway from the Lake Elmo city limits to 18th Street. This segment to be paid in full by West Lakeland Township
per the attached Joint Services Agreement dated March 3rd;
• Street reconstruction with concrete curb and gutter along Deer Pond Trail North from Hidden Bay Trail to Jack Pine Trail, and Deer Pond Court North;
• Patch and Microsurface along 20th Street North from Lake Elmo Avenue to Manning Trail.
The project will be partially funded by levying special assessments against 64 benefitting properties. The proposed unit assessment for residential property is $6,000 for the Packard Park neighborhood and $6,400 for properties along Deer Pond Trail and Deer Pond Court. The proposed unit assessment for residential property along Manning Trail, a City collector roadway, is $3,200. Tartan Park is a non-residential property along Manning Trail and therefore a 100% front footage assessment of $95,800 is proposed. Tartan Park fronts the improvement with over 1,700 feet. No assessments are proposed for the 20th Street microsurfacing since the improvement is considered routine maintenance with a 5-7 year service life.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff is recommending that the City Council approve the plans and specifications and order the
advertisement for bids for the 2014 Street Improvements. The recommended motion for this action is as follows:
“Move to approve Resolution No. 2014-28, approving the plans and specifications and ordering the
advertisement for bids for the 2014 Street Improvements.”
