Page 2 of 2 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> 2021 Pavement Management Program <br />The Capital Improvement Program identifies street and utility improvements within the <br />residential area consisting of Jerrold Avenue, Glenpaul Avenue, Edgewater Avenue and Prior <br />Avenue. Roadway improvements along Lake Valentine Road are also included in the proposed <br />project. Construction is scheduled for 2021. Staff strongly recommends an early start for this <br />project to ensure adequate time is available for public engagement, design, state aid approval, <br />and quality control reviews prior to awarding the construction contract. Additional time for <br />quality control review will reduce project delays and the frequency of change orders. <br /> <br />The first step in the project delivery process is to order a feasibility report. Staff is <br />recommending that the feasibility report be completed in-house by engineering staff. Prior to <br />starting work and ordering the feasibility report, staff would discuss the project with the City <br />Council at the March or April work session. If supported by City Council, staff would begin <br />preparation of the feasibility report in April 2020. <br /> <br />2020 Capital Projects <br />Three of the projects identified in the Capital Improvement Program for the 2020 construction <br />season primarily involve roadway, paving or drainage improvements. The three projects include <br />the Hamiline Avenue Pedestrian Crosswalks, City Hall Parking Lot Improvements, and the <br />Shorewood Drive Drainage Improvements. <br /> <br />Each of these projects are relatively small in terms of project bidding. Delivery as independent <br />projects would not be highly efficient. Staff is recommending that the three projects be packaged <br />together under one plan set and bid as a single construction project. <br /> <br />1. Hamline Crosswalks: HR Green completed the design for the Hamline pedestrian <br />crosswalks last fall. Ramsey County dedicated partial funding for the project in <br />December 2019. <br />2. Shorewood Drive: HR Green has nearly completed the survey and analysis report for the <br />Shorewood Drive drainage improvements. Plan sheets will be needed for construction. <br />3. City Hall: Soil borings are complete for the City Hall parking lot. Design work and <br />construction plans are needed to obtain bids. <br /> <br />Staff is seeking direction from the City Council if the City Engineer should negotiate a <br />professional services agreement and fee with HR Green to complete a consolidated plan set for <br />the three projects listed above, based on HR Green’s current involvement in two of the three <br />projects. <br /> <br />Attachments <br /> <br />Attachment A – Asset Management Process <br />Attachment B – Capital Improvement Program Project Pages
