Feasibility Report 2021 Downtown Improvements City of Hugo, MN WSB Project No. 015887-000 Page 1 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The 2021 Downtown Improvements consists of the extension of 147th Street from Finale Avenue to Oneka Parkway, turn lanes on Oneka Parkway, reconstruction of 147th Street from just west of TH 61 to Finale Avenue, Flay Avenue north of 147th Street, Upper 146th Street, 146th Street, Finley Avenue, and Fitzgerald Avenue. A map illustrating the project location is shown on Figure 1 in Appendix A. Improvements throughout the project include bituminous pavement replacement, concrete curb and gutter installation, subgrade corrections, and storm sewer drainage improvements. The extension of 147th Street includes reconstruction of the existing street west of Flay Avenue to accommodate a wider street section that meets State Aid Standards. The reconstructed 147th Street and extension will also include an eight-foot (8’) paved path on the north side of the street. West of the existing Finale Avenue intersection, the extension of 147th Street will be new construction. The new street will include the same street section as the reconstruct portion including the paved trail on the north side of the roadway. A newly aligned Finale Avenue, to be funded and constructed as part of the Hugo Gardens private development, will intersect with the 147th Street extension. Flay Avenue, Fitzgerald Avenue, Finley Avenue, 146th Street, and Upper 146th Street will all be reconstructed to a twenty-four foot (24’) wide street section. A portion of Fitzgerald Avenue will be reconstructed to a twenty-two (22’) wide section with surmountable curb to limit adjacent impacts. With the exception of Flay Ave and Fitzgerald Ave, which are currently approximately twenty-foot (20’) wide, the existing width of these streets will match the reconstructed width. The cost of the project is estimated at $3,656,800. The project costs include a 5% contingency and 25% indirect costs. Funding for the project will consist of special assessments, City Street CIP Funds, and State Aid Funds. The project schedule proposed includes construction beginning as early as mid to late June 2021, with substantial completion by the fall of 2021. This project is feasible, necessary, and cost-effective from an engineering standpoint and should be constructed as proposed herein.
