Item No: 8E T �T Meeting Date: November 12, 2024 MOV1VDs VtEW Type of Business: CB Administrator Review: City of Mounds View Staff Report To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Don Peterson, Director of Public Works/Parks and Recreation Item Title/Subject: Resolution 10005, Authorizing the Feasibility Study for Bronson Dive from Edgewood Drive to Long Lake Road Background/Discussion: Bronson Drive between Edgewood Drive and Long Lake Road serves 2 residential apartments units, a commercial and church property and the Public Works Facility. Bronson Drive is approximately 1,300 feet in length, the street segment has concrete curb and gutter (MN/DOT Design B618) with a bituminous pavement surface measuring 33-feet wide, back - to - back of curb and was re-constructed in 1993. Maintenance has included seal coating, pothole patching and skim coating as recommended through the past 30 years. The current pavement is in poor condition with significant surface patching, potholes, and moderate to high severity traverse cracking; curb and gutter is in fair to good condition. In 2023, American Engineering Testing, Inc. (AET) performed geotechnical and pavement evaluation services on behalf of the City and pavement cores showed a bituminous pavement thickness ranging from 4.7 to 2.5 inches and found stripping separation of asphalt at multiple layer interfaces. AET recommends a pavement rehabilitation to entail a full depth reclamation of asphalt / aggregate base It is expected that there will be some sections of curb and gutter that will be required to be replaced on the South side of Bronson Drive and the North side to receive a full replacement with the installation of a sidewalk behind the curb. Minor storm sewer improvements may occur to allow for curb and gutter to be added to the existing storm water utility system. Further Discussion: Funding/Chapter 429 Process Improvements for the Bronson Drive reconstruction has been discussed for several years and was included on the Capital Improvement Program and the Council recommended the project to be assessed in accordance with Chapter 202 of the Municipal Code. Stantec has provided a cost estimate to perform a feasibility study for this section of Bronson Drive at a cost of$10,000.00; the 2024 draft budget includes $125,000.00 in 485-4470-7050 for Bronson Drive.
