Mayor Stainbrook and Council Members

This report is furnished in response to your request calling for a preliminary report on the various projects proposed for the summer of 2021.

The proposed projects to be included in the 2021 Street lmprovements would involve the following: (See attached city map for project locations)

Street Reconstruction 1) Stephens Drive - Hoven Lane to Radisson Road - (Local Project) 2) Grant Street - North Front Street to Widman Lane - (Local Project) Bituminous Mill and Overlay 3) Riverside Avenue - Victoria Street to Summit Avenue - (Federal Project) 4) 4th Avenue North - North Broadway to Alexander Street - (Federal Project) 5) CentralAvenue - North Ash Street to Albert Street - (Federal Project) 6) Elm Street - Fourth Street to Summit Avenue - (Federal Project) 7) North Front Street - Sixth Street to Sherman Street - (Federal Project) 8) 7th Avenue South - South Main Street to Marshall Street - (Local Project) Concrete Mill & Goncrete Overlay / Concrete Sidewalk Repair 9) South Broadway Bridge Deck - South Main Street to Houston Avenue - (Federal Project)

RECONSTRUCTION PROJECTS

Stephens Drive - Hoven Lane to Radisson Road (Local Project) Project Length: 875 feet

Stephens Drive is a bituminous surfaced roadway with a width of 34 feet. There is existing curb & gutter along both sides of the street. There is existing sanitary sewer and watermain under the roadway, but they will not need to be replaced. Some of the existing storm sewer will need to be replaced due to deterioration or location with regards to the new alignment. The extent of the storm sewer replacement will be determined during plan development.

The proposed work on Stephens Drive would consist of reconstructing the roadway to its existing width of 34 feet. The existing concrete sidewalk will be replaced. However, there are a few lots on the north side of the street that do not have sidewalk. A decision will have to be made if these lots should have sidewalk installed so there is continuity.

ARCHITECTS . ENGINEERS . SCIENTISTS' SURVEYORS The proposed typical section would consist of a 34-foot wide roadway with concrete curb and gutter on both sides of the street. The nine-ton typical section would consist of 2” of bituminous wear and 2” of bituminous base on top of 18” of Class 5 Aggregate Base. A geotextile fabric will be placed on top of the clay sub-grade to keep the clay from pumping up into and contaminating the aggregate material. A four-inch drain tile would also be installed along the edge of the excavation and tied into the existing storm sewer to help control high ground water from saturating the roadbed.

No utility work is planned except for the storm sewer improvements where needed. However, if privately-owned utilities need to be relocated, this will be coordinated with the utility owner. The relocation of the privately-owned utilities would be done by the utility owner at their expense.

The preliminary cost estimate of the proposed reconstruction of Stephens Drive from the Hoven Lane to Radisson Road is detailed at the back of this report.

Grant Street – North Front Street to Widman Lane (Local Project) Project Length: 330 feet

Stephens Drive is a gravel surfaced roadway with a width of 32 feet. There is no existing curb & gutter or sidewalks. There is existing sanitary sewer and watermain under the roadway, but they will not need to be replaced. Some of the existing storm sewer will need to be replaced due to location with regards to the new alignment. The extent of the storm sewer replacement will be determined during plan development.

The proposed work on Grant Street would consist of reconstructing the roadway to a width of 32 feet with concrete curb and gutter on both sides of the street. The nine-ton typical section would consist of 2” of bituminous wear and 2” of bituminous base on top of 18” of Class 5 Aggregate Base. A geotextile fabric will be placed on top of the clay sub-grade to keep the clay from pumping up into and contaminating the aggregate material. A four-inch drain tile would also be installed along the edge of the excavation and tied into the existing storm sewer to help control high ground water from saturating the roadbed. No sidewalk would be installed under this reconstruction work.

The preliminary cost estimate of the proposed reconstruction of Grant Street from the North Front Street to Widman Lane is detailed at the back of this report.

BITUMINOUS MILL & OVERLAY PROJECTS

Riverside Avenue – Victoria Street to Summit Avenue (Federal Project) Project Length: 1,600 feet

Riverside Avenue is a bituminous surfaced roadway with a width of 32 feet. It was last resurfaced in 1992. There is existing curb & gutter on both sides of the street and sidewalk along the north side of the street. There is existing watermain, storm and sanitary sewer under

2 the roadway but none will need to be replaced. Catch basin castings will be adjusted as needed to improve the flow of water in the gutter and eliminate the potential for standing water.

The proposed work on Riverside Avenue would consist of milling the bituminous surface for its full width and length to a depth of two inches. A new two-inch bituminous overlay will be placed, and manholes and valve boxes will be adjusted as necessary. Miscellaneous curb & gutter sections will be removed and replaced if found to be vertically misaligned causing storm water to pond in the roadway. Likewise, miscellaneous sidewalk section will be removed and replaced if there is vertical misalignment causing a tip hazard. All pedestrian curb ramps will be removed and replaced to bring them up to ADA / MnDOT standards.

Once the overlay is complete, the roadway will be striped and turf establishment will be done on all areas that have been disturbed during construction.

No major utility work will be done on this project. As mentioned above, catch basin casting will be adjusted as necessary to improve flow in the gutter. Some privately owned utilities may have to be relocated prior to the start of construction. This will be determined as the plans are developed. The relocation of the privately owned utilities would be done by the utility owner at their expense.

The preliminary estimated cost of the proposed work on Riverside Avenue from Victoria Street to Summit Avenue is detailed at the back of this report.

CONCRETE MILL & CONCRETE OVERLAY PROJECTS

South Broadway Bridge Deck – Bridge No. 6705 (Federal Project) Project Length: 400 feet

The concrete deck of the South Broadway Street bridge was originally constructed in 1955. The original concrete deck was 7-1/2 inches thick. In 1986, a 3-inch concrete overlay was added to the original concrete deck. Since then, no work has been done on the deck or concrete sidewalk. Over the years, hollow pockets began to form in the concrete overlay. Some of these pockets have broken open and been filled with bituminous asphalt. In 2008, the deck was chain-dragged and additional hollow pockets were identified which indicated rehabilitation work would need to be done at some point in the future. The condition of these pockets remained stable for several years. However, more of them have now broken open and the deck needs rehabilitation before water & freeze / thaw cycles cause additional damage to the underlying concrete deck. In addition to the deck work, there is a need for spot repairs to the concrete sidewalk. At these locations, the concrete sidewalk has broken away and rebar is exposed causing a trip hazard for pedestrians.

The proposed work on the South Broadway bridge would consist of milling the concrete surface for its full width and length to a depth of 3 inches. The original underlying deck would then be inspected for damage or deterioration. If damage or deterioration is found, it will be repaired prior to the placement of a new 3-inch thick concrete overlay. Sections of the concrete sidewalk will be removed and replaced as well. These sections will be identified at the time of construction.

The preliminary estimated cost of the proposed work on the South Broadway Street bridge is detailed at the back of this report.
