6. NECESSITY AND COST EFFECTIVENESS <br />The improvements proposed in this study are necessary for a number of reasons. The <br />reconstruction of the streets provides the City with a cost-effective means of continuing the <br />City's street improvement efforts and providing an adequate means of transportation for local <br />residents. In addition to rehabilitating roadway pavements, the project will allow for the <br />correction of existing drainage issues by increasing the cross-sectional crown and improving the <br />conveyance of runoff with a concrete curb and gutter system. These improvements will provide a <br />longer lasting street section needing less maintenance over time. <br />The proposed improvements constitute a project large enough to provide a competitive bidding <br />environment, economy of scale, and therefore, are deemed to be cost-effective. Based on the <br />information contained within this report, the proposed improvements as described can be <br />considered to be necessary, cost-effective, and feasible from an engineering standpoint. <br />Feasibility Report <br />147'h Street and Oneka Lake Boulevard Street Improvement Project <br />City of Hugo, MN <br />WSB Project No. 1904-870 <br />Page 9 <br />
