Item No. 6 Staff Report No. Meeting Date: July 16, 2001 Type of Business: W.K. WK: Work Session; PH: Public Hearing; CA: Consent Agenda; CB: Council Business City of Mounds View Staff Report To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Michael Ulrich, Director of Public Works Item Title/Subject: Mounds View Drive, Pavement Deterioration Date of Report: August 29, 2018 Approximately two years ago staff noticed a minute amount of surface deterioration of the asphalt on Mounds View Drive. The surface, down to a dept of an inch or two, had begun to pop out. Areas that were practical to patch, were filled with a fine asphalt mix. Last spring more deterioration occurred and again these areas were patched. This spring, due to the larger amount of snow and frequent freeze / thaw cycles, a vast majority of the entire street is experiencing the same deterioration. At this point, the most cost effective method of correcting the condition is to mill and overlay the entire street. Since this is a relatively small project, staff spoke with Ramsey County to inquire what their availability and estimate would be to perform the project. The County is able to schedule this project with a couple of months notice and quoted us a price of approximately $3.00 per square yard, to mill the street and provide equipment and labor to perform the overlay. The City would be responsible for purchasing the asphalt. Again, noting the size of the project, utilizing another Government agency would simplify the project by not having to create plans and specifications, advertisements, consulting fees, and inspections. It is estimated this project could be completed within this year’s budget for pavement management, however this project would also be assessed to the abutting property owners. It is staff’s recommendation that this project be scheduled for this fall (September) and the assessment procedure begin as soon as possible. Following is an estimate of the project costs: Ramsey County 10834 yds2 * $3.00 = $32,502.00 Mounds View, Asphalt 600 tons * $30.00 = $18,000.00 Total $55,502.00 It appears that only the properties abutting the east side of the street, which are commercial properties, would be assessed. Although the west side is residential, these are mostly double frontage lots, which cannot be subdivided, therefore they can only be assessed for the side in- which the driveway enters. With the nature of such a small project, it is staff’s belief, that the current staff can handle this project, with little outside assistance. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the City Council direct staff to commence with project, including the assessment procedures as soon as possible, anticipating fall 2001 construction. _________________________________ Michael Ulrich, Director of Public Works \\Ntserver\CityHall\DATA\GROUPS\PUBWORKS\Mike's documents\projects\Mounds View Drive\Mounds View Dr Project.doc
