OP l ist Howard R. Green Company (WITI MM CONSULTING ENGINEERS Formerly MSA Consulting Engineers June 17, 1997 File: 800370J Mr. Jim March City of Centerville 1880 Main Street Centerville, MN 55038 RE: PAVEMENT OPTIONS FOR HERITAGE STREET AND LAMOTTE DRIVE Dear Mr. March: As requested by the City Council, we have looked into several pavement reconstruction options for Heritage Street and Lamotte Drive. This letter will briefly discuss each option, including the estimated construction cost. Option 1 - Bituminous Patching Option 1 includes saw cutting out the problem areas in the pavement and replacing them with bituminous patches. This type of repair would only be temporary as there are underlying problems with the soils in these areas. Problem areas such as these have a tendency to reoccur through repairs due to weak soils underneath the pavement. Therefore, this option would offer only a temporary solution. The estimated cost for this option is: Heritage Street (130 SY): $3,900.00 Lamotte Drive (310 SY): $9,300.00 Total Construction Cost $13,200.00 Option 2 - Patch and 1 %" Overlay Option 2 includes patching the pavement as in Option 1 and placing a 1 ' /z' bituminous overlay over the entire area, once the bituminous patches are in place. This option will not only replace the sections of broken pavement, but also provide a smooth driving surface over the entire street. This option would not provide any corrections for the weak underlying soils at the problem areas, but would offer some addition pavement strength overjust the patching option. As with Option 1, this would only be a temporary solution, as cracks in the existing pavement would have a tendency to reoccur through the new overlay. 1326 Energy Park Drive • St. Paul, MN 55108 • 612/644 -4389 fax 612/644 -9446 toll free 800/888 -2923
