Resolution 8347, Authorizing Preparation of Feasibility Report for Mustang <br />Drive Pavement Rehabilitation and Drainage Improvement Project. <br /> <br />Public Works Director DeBar reviewed the properties surrounding Mustang Drive, noting many <br />had semi-truck traffic. He explained the original pavement was constructed in 1974 and was in <br />poor condition, while the curb and gutter was in good condition. He commented the road was <br />failing at this time and was in need of a full reclamation. He discussed the proposed drainage <br />improvements that would be made in conjunction with this project. He noted that staff received <br />three bids for engineering services for this project. Staff recommended the Council authorize <br />Stantec prepare a feasibility report and drainage improvements for the Mustang Drive Pavement <br />Rehabilitation project. <br /> <br />Council Member Mueller questioned how much thicker this roadway would be to support the <br />semi-truck traffic on Mustang Drive. Public Works Director DeBar explained the pavement <br />would be 3½” in depth, which was the same thickness of asphalt throughout the City. He further <br />discussed the reclamation process and aggregate base that would be placed under the asphalt. <br /> <br />Council Member Mueller inquired if this project would be assessed to the impacted property <br />owners. Public Works Director DeBar stated he had not recommended the project be assessed, <br />but noted this would delay the project. He recommended the feasibility report be approved and <br />that estimates be determined before a decision was made on the assessments. He commented <br />that the final decision would be left to the Council.
