8. FEASIBILITY, NECESSITY AND COST EFFECTIVENESS <br /> The improvements proposed in this study are necessary to continue safe and reliable street and <br /> utility services. The reconstruction of streets provides the City with a cost-effective means of <br /> continuing the City's street improvement efforts and ensuring an adequate means of <br /> transportation for residents. The project will allow for the correction of existing drainage <br /> problems by increasing the cross-sectional crown and improving the conveyance of runoff with <br /> concrete curb and gutter. <br /> These improvements will address the increasing costs for patching and maintaining highly <br /> deteriorated street pavement within the City. Proposed water main improvements will provide <br /> for an orderly replacement of water distribution system assets as the water system ages over time. <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 <br /> necessary, cost-effective, and feasible from an engineering standpoint. <br /> Feasibility Report Page 17 <br /> 2021 PAP Street and Utility Improvements <br /> City Project Number PW 21-0100 <br />
