1Discussion/Review - Plans & Specs for 2019 Road Improvement Projects
Discussion and review of plans and specifications for the 2019 Road Improvement Projects.
The Council reviewed Old Viking Boulevard as part of the 2019 road package. The engineer described soil borings, possible organic soils near Ford Brook, a 22-foot pavement width, about 500 feet of concrete curb and gutter west of Jasper Street, mailbox support changes, a test roll after reclaiming, and a schedule milestone so the base course would be substantially complete before the Nowthen Threshing Show. The Council approved the plans and specifications for bidding and included Old Viking Boulevard in the reimbursement bond resolutions.
The Council reviewed Halas Street as a full-depth reclaim project. The engineer reported pavement cores and soil borings, described the proposed 24-foot pavement width and 3.5 inches of bituminous over reclaimed aggregate base, and noted that existing mailbox supports would be adjusted to the raised road elevation. The Council approved the plans and specifications for bidding and included Halas Street in the reimbursement bond resolutions.
The Council reviewed the Meadows of Verde Valley overlay as part of the 2019 road package. The project was described as a 1.5-inch bituminous overlay on 210th Avenue, 210th Lane and Cobalt Street, matching existing road widths. The Council approved the plans and specifications for bidding and included the Meadows of Verde Valley Addition in the reimbursement bond resolutions.
The Council reviewed the Rolling Hills overlay as part of the 2019 road package. The project was described as a 1.5-inch bituminous overlay on 194th Lane, 195th Lane, Eaton Street and Driscoll Street, matching the existing road widths and using gravel shoulder work. The Council approved the plans and specifications for bidding and included Rolling Hills in the reimbursement bond resolutions.
The Council reviewed the Garnet Street overlay as part of the 2019 road package. Garnet Street was described as receiving a 1.5-inch bituminous overlay, with the existing bituminous curb noted as different from the other overlay roads. The Council approved the plans and specifications for bidding and included Garnet Street in the reimbursement bond resolutions.
During review of the plans, residents with road-project experience said the City could save significant money by using class 5 gravel instead of class 2 gravel for shouldering. The Council reached consensus to direct the engineer to amend the plans and specifications to make that substitution before bidding.
The Council reviewed the bid and construction schedule. The approved timeline set the bid opening for April 16, 2019, a special meeting on April 23 to review bids and set assessment hearings, moving the regular May Council meeting to May 7, and holding assessment hearings on May 14. The contract schedule was to include milestones and liquidated damages, including a requirement that the Old Viking Boulevard base course be substantially complete before August 9 because of the Nowthen Threshing Show.
Council reviewed the project details and reached consensus to substitute class 5 gravel for class 2 gravel for shouldering work.
