MEMORANDUM <br /> -------------------------------------------------------------------------- <br /> Date: March 27, 1987 <br /> To: Arden Hills Council <br /> From: Robert W. Raddatz, Public Works Supervisor <br /> Re: Leveling of Curbs <br /> -------------------------------------------------------------------------- <br /> This is a s\.bject we have discussed often before. I have been working <br /> with Short-Elliott-Hendrickson on how best to correct the problem of <br /> sunken curbs, and have also had a contractor demonstrate the process of <br /> leveling curb sections by mudjacking. This process involves forcing <br /> concrete under the curb, thus raising the curb to level...when the <br /> concrete hardens, it appears as a level curb line. It works out very well <br /> with a minimum of work. <br /> A survey shows we would have about 1,000 feet of curb to repair in the <br /> Karth Lake area, and less extensive amounts in other area. I am proposing <br /> that we begin raising some of the curb sections this spring. I would like <br /> to do about 300 to 400 feet each year, and allow the process to take a few <br /> years. <br /> . The cost of mudjacking is $3.75 per foot of curb and gutter. (Replacement <br /> would cost approximately $15.00 per foot). Funds for this were not <br /> included in the 1987 budget. I am proposing that since very little sand <br /> or salt was used this year, the budgeted amount for this be used to cover <br /> the cost of mudjacking as proposed. In following years, I would recommend <br /> budgeting funds to repair 300 to 400 feet of curb until the process is <br /> completed. <br /> I ,Iy) <br /> ( l.{ 0 () <.--t- <br /> ~M~~~" <br /> . <br />
