ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL – AUGUST 29, 2016 9 <br /> <br />Acting Public Works Director Anderson reported the City budgeted $150,000 for this type of <br />work in 2016. To date $68,471 has been spent. The work on Thom Drive totaled $30,159 and <br />$33,519 was spent on the Sandeen Road mill and overlay. The remaining budget for street <br />maintenance/sealcoat and resurfacing is $81,529. <br /> <br />Acting Public Works Director Anderson explained staff has solicited quotes for this work to <br />include both mill and bituminous paving from a number of contractors and have received four <br />quotes. The quotes received are as follows: <br /> <br />Midwest Asphalt Corporation $44,394.30 <br />Bituminous Roadways Inc. $45,244.85 <br />North Valley Paving $51,447.60 <br /> <br />Acting Public Works Director Anderson stated staff has worked with Midwest Asphalt in the <br />past and found their work to be acceptable and recommend accepting their proposal. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden had hoped that Beckman could be replaced this year; however, staff felt <br />this street could wait until 2017. <br /> <br />MOTION: Councilmember Holden moved and Councilmember McClung seconded a <br />motion to accept a proposal from Midwest Asphalt Corporation for the <br />bituminous mill and overlay of Shorewood Drive in the amount of $44,394.30. <br />The motion carried (5-0). <br /> <br /> D. State Fair Parking <br /> <br />Mayor Grant understood on-street parking was a concern in the city. He asked if staff had any <br />conversations with residents regarding Pine Tree Drive and Harriet Avenue, or regarding parking <br />in front of fire hydrants. <br /> <br />Acting Public Works Director Anderson stated he had discussed this matter. It was noted <br />Ramsey County would be observing traffic at this intersection and he understood additional space <br />was needed for bus traffic. <br /> <br />Mayor Grant questioned if staff had spoken to the Lake Johanna Fire Department regarding the <br />fire hydrants. <br /> <br />Acting Public Works Director Anderson explained the Ramsey County Sheriff has been in <br />touch regarding vehicles parking in front of hydrants. He reported cars had to maintain a 10-foot <br />buffer on both sides of a fire hydrant in order to provide proper access to the fire hydrants. He <br />stated the Sheriff’s conclusion to this situation would be to provide one lane of parking on Pine <br />Tree Drive and Harriet Avenue. <br /> <br />Mayor Grant supported the “No Parking” improvements on Harriet Avenue and Pine Tree Drive <br />in order to improve the safety of this roadway for vehicular and bus traffic. He stated the “No <br />Parking” could run down Harriet Avenue all the way down to the cul-de-sac. <br />
