ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - NOVEMBER 8, 1999 10 . Mr. Brown advised that the City Engineer recommends approval of Pay Request #2 in the amount of$38,733.92 to Nadeau Utility, Inc. A retainage of5 percent was being held for the project. Councilmember Malone asked if the final contract amount was expected to be under budget, including the change order. Mr. Brown stated that there had been some items in the contract that have been found to not be needed. Therefore, even with the change order, he did expect the final amount to be under contract. Councilmember Malone asked if the change order was being paid with Pay Request #2. Mr. Brown stated that Change Order #1 would be paid separately. MOTION: Councilmember Malone moved and Councilmember Larson seconded a motion to approve Payment Request #2 in the amount of$38,733.92 to Nadeau Utility, Inc. The motion carried unanimously (5-0). F. Resolution #99-40, Receiving Feasibility Report and Calling for Public Hearing in the Matter of the 2000 Street Improvement Project Mr. Stafford explained that the City Council ordered a Preliminary Feasibility Report in the matter of the 2000 Street Improvement Project at its October 12, 1999 City Council meeting. The report addressed streets identified for reconstruction for the 2000 Street Improvement Project. . One change from last year's Feasibility Report was utilizing the neighborhood approach rather than focusing on streets with the worst PCI rating. The intent was to bring all streets within one neighborhood up to an acceptable PCI rating. The feasibility report placed more emphasis on storm water treatment ponds and how runoff is treated prior to reaching the area lakes and streams. The report had incorporated three proposed street widths within the project area. The City in the past has generally reconstructed streets to a 32-foot width. State Aid and collector streets would be constructed to 32 feet. Local streets with less traffic would be constructed to 28 feet and special case streets that serve less than five residential properties each and are dead-end roadways less than 500 feet in length would be constructed to 24 feet. StafT felt that this would save construction and future maintenance costs. Ms. StafTord advised that staff recommends adoption of Resolution #99-40, Receiving Preliminary Report in the matter of the 2000 Street Improvement Project, and that the City Council authorize staff to hold an informational meeting on the proposed improvements on November 30, 1999, and hold a public hearing on the proposed improvements in conjunction with the January 10,2000 City Council meeting. Mr. Stafford invited Mr. Brown to further address the Preliminary Feasibility Report. . Referring to Exhibit 3 of the Preliminary Feasibility Report, Mr. Brown stated that the streets proposed to be included in the project were Hamline Avenue, Ingerson Avenue, Ingerson Court,
