<br /> <br /> <br />Feasibility Report <br />Pavement Management Program <br />2018 Street and Utility Improvement Project <br />City of Arden Hills Project No. 18-STR-065 <br />WSB Project No. R-010111-000 Page 12 <br />5. FEASIBILITY, NECESSITY, AND COST EFFECTIVENESS <br /> <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 ensuring 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 problems by increasing the cross-sectional crown and improving <br />the conveyance of runoff with a concrete curb and gutter system. These improvements will <br />provide a longer lasting street section needing less maintenance over time. <br /> <br />The proposed improvements constitute a project large enough to ensure a competitive bidding <br />environment, economy of scale, and are deemed to be cost-effective. Based on the information <br />contained within this report, the proposed improvements as described can be considered to be <br />necessary, cost-effective, and feasible from an engineering standpoint. The project feasibility is <br />subject to financial review by the City.
