REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION Date: 11/19/12 Item No.: 10.a Department Approval City Manager Approval Item Description: Discuss 2013 Public Works Work Plan Page 1 of 3 B ACKGROUND 1 Each year Public Works staff monitors and evaluates the condition of City infrastructure for 2 development of ongoing maintenance and replacement needs plans. We use this information to 3 develop capital improvement plans and in the development of the annual budget request in these 4 areas. We also work closely with Ramsey County and MnDOT on improvements to City 5 infrastructure as a part of their road improvement projects within Roseville. 2013 proposed road 6 construction on city streets is mainly mill and overlay or replacement of pavement due to surface 7 distress related to age of pavement since many streets were reconstructed 20 to 30 years ago. 8 The following are improvements that we are recommending for the 2013 construction season on 9 the city system. We have attached a map of the proposed improvement areas. (Attachment A) 10 We also have a preliminary work plan for utility improvements that is somewhat dependent on 11 funding levels to be determined by the final 2013 utility rates that will be set in the next month. 12 Ramsey County has not finalized their total work program for 2013. They were anticipating a 13 mill and overlay on Rice St. from just south of Co. Rd. B to Larpenteur Ave. but it may be 14 delayed due to a planned gas transmission line replacement by Xcel Energy in that area. This 15 work plan is consistent with the 20 year capital improvement plan. 16 P OLICY O BJECTIVE 17 1. Pavement Management Program Projects: Each year the Public Works Department 18 evaluates infrastructure needs based on the City’s Pavement Management Program and 19 assessment of utility infrastructure. Streets in marginal condition are recommended for 20 major maintenance by mill and overlay. Streets in poor condition are recommended for 21 reconstruction. We propose to include the following street segments in our 2013 22 construction contract: 23 Mill and Overlay Iona Lane (Dale St. to Western Avenue) Dellwood Ave. (Roselawn Ave. to Co Rd B) Grandview Ave (St. Albans St. to cul de sac) Commerce St. (Snelling Service Dr. to Albert St.) Lovell Ave (Grotto St to Dale St) Fry St. (Skillman Ave. to Co Rd B) Cope Ave (Grotto St to Dale St ) The Mill and Overlay projects are proposed to be financed through our street infrastructure 24 funds and MSA funds. After receiving bids for th ese projects, we will request that the City 25 Council award the bid to the lowest responsible bidder. 26 Reconstruction: County Road D (Lexington Ave. to Victoria St.) jointly funded MSA 27 project with the City of Shoreview. 28
