<br />Major modification of the pavement reconstruction method <br />33 <br /> <br />Change from a stabilized bituminous reclamation to a combination of road <br />o <br />34 <br />reconstruction and four inch mill and overlay. The change in design still resulted <br />35 <br />in a 9 ton roadway, which meets Municipal State Aid standards, with an expected <br />36 <br />pavement life of at least 30 years. <br />37 <br /> <br />Change needed due to poor subgrade conditions that were found when portions of <br />o <br />38 <br />the pavement were dug up for utilities. <br />39 <br /> <br />Additional storm sewer replacement to fix pipe that was in need of replacement. <br />40 <br /> <br />Modifications to storm structures to accommodate utilities. <br />41 <br />Although the project costs are higher than the original bid amount, the project costs are still <br />42 <br />within reason for the type of road that was constructed. <br />43 <br />For example, in 2012 the City reconstructed Dale Street using conventional methods. The overall <br />44 <br />road cost for the road reconstruction was assessed in the same manner as Victoria Street for the <br />45 <br />same type of road; 32 feet wide, 7 ton design. The assessed cost per foot for this project was <br />46 <br />$38.25/LF in 2011 dollars. This equates to an approximate cost of $44/LF today. <br />47 <br />The final costs of the modified pavement design for Victoria Street, although higher, are still less <br />48 <br />than what a traditional reconstruct would have been. The original road design was for a <br />49 <br />stabilized bituminous reclamation. If the subsoils had not become an issue this would have <br />50 <br />resulted in a 30 year road with a significant cost savings to the City versus a more typical street <br />51 <br />reconstruction. Had the street been constructed using conventional reconstruction methods, the <br />52 <br />cost would have been around $44/LF for an approximately same design life. <br />53 <br />The final project cost will be funded using the following funds; <br />54 <br />źĭƷƚƩźğ {Ʒ <br />RoadPathwayWatermainStorm WaterTotal Costs <br />State Aid$ 1,420,119.93$ 26,065.82$ 1,446,185.75 <br />Assessments$ 184,747.81$ 184,747.81 <br />Water Fund$ 77,469.97$ 77,469.97 <br />Storm Water Fund$ 603,630.86$ 603,630.86 <br />Parks Renewal$ 120,000.00$ 120,000.00 <br />Ramsey County$ 78,682.72$ 78,682.72 <br />ƚƷğƌ tƩƚƆĻĭƷ$ 1,604,867.74$ 224,748.54$ 77,469.97$ 603,630.86$ 2,510,717.11 <br /> <br />55 <br />Overall assessments will be higher than the preliminary assessment amount but will be set at or <br />56 <br />less than the maximum assessment rate as determined by the Benefit Appraisal which <br />57 <br />determined the maximum benefit realized by the properties as a result of the project.
