City Council Regular Meeting Minutes January 10, 2006 Page 3 1 Roosevelt Street NE from St. Anthony Boulevard to 30th Avenue NE 2 Coolidge Street from St. Anthony Boulevard to 29`h Avenue NE 3 Alley south of Murray from Wilson Street to Roosevelt Street 4 5 Councilmember Stille asked if construction on Murray and the alley will be phased. Mr. 6 Hubmer replied yes, they will be separate. 8 Councilmember Horst asked if these are the last asphalt streets to be done. Mr. Hubmer replied 9 no, the next project, probably in 2008, will include 27th Avenue, Paul Avenue, and a small 10 segment of Roosevelt. He added they will also be working on Silver Lake Road in 2007. 11 12 Mayor Faust asked how good is the method of sliding a sleeve into another pipe. Mr. Hubmer 13 replied it works well and can be done in a day or two; pipes are cleaned out, filled with steam or 14 hot water, and as the sleeve cures it hardens. He added it is very strong, lasts for a long time, 15 does not react with anything, and will help inflow infiltration. 16 17 Councilmember Thuesen asked why this sleeve sliding would not be an option in other areas 18 versus totally replacing the old clay tile. Mr. Hubmer replied in areas where they need to remove 19 a water main and are digging up the street it is not economical. 20 21 Motion by Councilmember Stille, seconded by Councilmember Thuesen, to adopt Resolution 06- 22 012, re: calling a hearing on 2006 street and utility improvements. 23 24 Motion carried unanimously. 25 26 B. Consider Resolution 06 -013, re: declaring the costs to be assessed and ordering 27 preparation of proposed assessments. 28 Todd Hubmer, WSB & Associates, reviewed the resolution with the Council and indicated that a 29 total of eight bids were received in December, with the low bidder being Northdale Construction 30 at $1,473,035.77. The total project cost is estimated at two million dollars, with the amount to be 31 assessed to residents at $400,000 and the remainder paid by the City with bonds. 32 33 Councilmember Gray asked where the other $600,000 comes in. He also asked if they received 34 more bids this year than last year. He additionally asked the comparison in terms of cost. Mr. 35 Hubmer replied there is a 10% contingency as well as engineering, legal, and administrative 36 costs. He added yearly bids have been about the same. There is an increase this year in plastic 37 piping because these materials have been relocated due to Hurricane Katrina. 38 39 Mayor Faust asked if they have used Northdale Construction in the past, and if so, are they 40 comfortable with their track record. Mr. Hubmer replied they completed a street reconstruction 41 project in 1999 and they do good work once the project is completed. 42 43 Motion by Councilmember Thuesen, seconded by Councilmember Gray, to adopt Resolution 06- 44 013, re: declaring the costs to be assessed and ordering preparation of proposed assessments. 45 46 Motion carried unanimously. 47
