City Council approved a 5-year CIP with <br />a new maintenance program that included moving the time line up for mill and overlay <br />projects for various streets. <br />In order to clearly understand why the streets are failing, Staff is recommending that <br />pavement cores from the affected streets, be obtained and analyzed with the results being <br />given to the Engineer to assist with the pavement design for the mill and overlay projects. <br />Staff prepared the necessary specifications and mapping in order to obtain a cost estimate. <br />Staff received two proposals: <br />Braun Intertec for $12,535.00 <br />American Engineering Testing for $15,086.50. <br />Strategic Plan Strategy/Goal: Maintain and Plan for Infrastructure Improvements. <br />Financial Impact: The 2023 budget includes $50,000.00 in the Street Improvement Fund, <br />485-4470-7050, for Reconstruction Design. <br />Recommendation: <br />Staff recommends that the City Council approve the attached resolution and accept the <br />proposal from Braun Intertec at a cost of $12,535.00 to perform the analysis of the pavement <br />cores collected from streets as indicated on the project map. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />Don Peterson, Director of Public Works/Parks and Recreation <br />Attached: 2023 Pavement Core Project Overview Map <br />The Mounds View Visio <br />A Thriving Desirable Community <br />
