These segments will be replaced with plastic pipe. Two spot repairs will also be made on Valentine Crest Avenue. Language is included in the contract documents that the Contractor shall provide unit prices for private work, and that any private work will be done as a contract between the Contractor and the private property owner. The existing storm sewer system will be improved and expanded throughout the neighborhood. Best management practices, such as raingardens, p infiltration trenches, biofiltration basins, and other features will also be incorporated into the project in order to meet the Rice Creek Watershed District's water quality requirements. The q y estimated total project cost for the improvements is $1,196,768, includingcontingency, genc y, engineering and overhead fees as outlined in the Assessment Policy. Councilmember McClung stated in the future, Council should be provided with a copy of the plans and specification documents.

Civil Engineer Giga stated the estimate is based on the prices received for last ears PMPj project Y and does include inflation and contingency amounts. Staff is expecting the bids to be lower than the estimated costs. Councilmember Holden stated she having a hard time approving a mill and overlay for Janet Court when this road is not due for one at this time.

Civil Engineer Giga stated the specifications are written so that any street segment can be removed at the City's discretion. Councilmember Grant pointed out that he has an issue with this particular PMP project because P the City is removing Valentine Avenue from the State Aid system. At this time the City has not heard if Mn/DOT would accept the substitute road. This proposal went out March 3, 2010.
