BACKGROUND: On January 17, following a Public Improvement Hearing, the City council ordered the improvements and preparation of the plans and specifications for the 2017 Street Improvements. The improvements include the rehabilitation of residential streets located in 4 separate subdivisions, including Fox Fire Estates, Springborns Green Acres, Judith Mary Manor and Rolling Hills Estates. The street improvements include approximately 2.3 miles of local streets consisting of 55th Street North, from Demontreville Trail North to 57th Street North; 57th Street North, from Julep Way North to Keats Avenue North; Jamaca Avenue North, from 55th Street North to Jamaca Boulevard North; and Jamaca Boulevard North, from 55th Street North to Jamaca Avenue North. The improvements include a full depth reclamation of the existing pavement with the installation of new concrete curb and gutter and a new bituminous surface. Drainage improvements have been incorporated into the project to include storm sewer system replacement and drainage upgrades to prevent water from standing on or along the new street pavements. With the addition of one new storm sewer system along 55th Street North, the scope of improvements remains consistent with the approved feasibility report which was adopted by the City Council on December 6, 2016. PROPOSAL DETAILS/ANALYSIS: The plans and specifications have been completed for the improvements and are ready to be advertised for contractor bids. A bid date has been scheduled for May 5, 2017. Once received, bids will be reviewed by staff and if acceptable will be presented to council on May 16th to award a contract. FISCAL IMPACT: The estimated total cost for the 2017 Street Improvements is $1,400,000. The improvements are proposed to be partially assessed against the benefitting properties consistent with the City’s Special Assessment Policy. The project is funded through the issuance of general obligation bonds and special assessments. Approval of this motion does not commit the council to the project costs. Once contractor bids are received, the actual construction costs will be known and the council will be asked to consider entering into a contract to complete the work. RECOMMENDATION: Staff is recommending that the City Council approve, as part of the consent agenda, Resolution 2017-031 approving the plans and specifications and ordering the advertisement for bids for the 2017 Street Improvements. If removed from the consent agenda, the recommended motion for the action is as follows: “Move to approve Resolution No. 2017–031, approving the plans and specifications and ordering the advertisement for bids for the 2017 Street Improvements.” ATTACHMENTS: 1. Resolution No. 2017-031 Approving the plans and specifications and ordering the advertisement for bids for the 2017 Street Improvements. 2. Location Map. 3. Project Schedule. 4.
