Item No. 07H Meeting Date: March 28, 2016 Type of Business: CB City Administrator Review: ______ City of Mounds View Staff Report To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Brian Erickson, P.E., Public Works Director/City Engineer Item Title/Subject: Resolution 8540, Approve County Road I Concrete Rehabilitation Project Cost Share Agreement with Ramsey County Background: As part of Ramsey County’s Transportation Improvement Plan, the county has scheduled a concrete rehabilitation project on County Road I between County State Aid Highway 10 and I- 35W. Discussion: This project includes concrete pavement restoration, catch basin repair, pedestrian curb ramp replacement and the replacement of the temporary traffic signal at County Road I and Quincy Street. In addition, Ramsey County will convert County Road I from four traffic lanes to three. This will improve safety for motorists making left turns; provide shoulders for bicycle and service vehicles and create safer crossings for pedestrians. Work is anticipated to begin in the summer or fall of 2016 and will take approximately three (3) weeks to complete. During the construction, County Road I will remain open to traffic; however, there may be short-term lane closures or detours. Temporary, alternative access plans for driveways will be established with property owners if necessary as the concrete cures. The signal replacement at Quincy Street will remove the cable supported signals and replace them with a standard signal/overhead cross arm configuration. Two of the four signal legs associated with this intersection are part of Mounds View’s street network, thus the city is responsible for the purchase and installation of half of the signals at this intersection. Quincy Street is part of the Municipal State Aid Street system and this work is eligible for reimbursement through state aid. The signal replacement cost including engineering and construction administration is estimated at $175,199.60. In addition to the signal replacement, there are several panels that will be replaced due to a water service repair that was performed previously. The patch is currently a temporary bituminous patch that the county will replace with the project. The estimated cost of this patch is $9,330.40. The total estimated cost for the City of Mounds View is $184,529.00. Included in this estimate are design and construction engineering fees related to this work. It should be noted that the actual cost to the City will be based on actual bid amounts. Prior to award of the construction contract, Ramsey County will seek the City’s concurrence. The current
