Reconstruction: <br />No roads are proposed to be reconstructed in 2016. <br />32 <br />Seal Coat: <br />As in 2015, the City will not be doing a seal coat program due to pavement <br />33 <br />delamination issues. The budget for seal coating will be used to mill and overlay additional <br />34 <br />roads as part of the PMP project. <br />35 <br />Utility Infrastructure: <br />2. <br />36 <br />Sanitary Sewer Lining: <br />The majority of the city’s sanitary sewer mains were constructed in <br />37 <br />the late 1950’s and early 1960’s, utilizing clay tile pipe and reinforced concrete pipe. Over <br />38 <br />time the joint materials have failed allowing root intrusion. The pipe is also susceptible to <br />39 <br />cracking and construction damage. The 2016 Capital Improvement Plan recommends <br />40 <br />funding for a sanitary sewer main lining program to extend the life of our sanitary sewers by <br />41 <br />50 years or more. This technology essentially installs a new resin pipe inside the old clay tile <br />42 <br />sewer main without digging up city streets, which results in minimal disruption to residents <br />43 <br />during construction. The liner pipe is inserted into the main through existing manholes and <br />44 <br />cured in place with a heat process. Any given segment is usually completed in one working <br />45 <br />day. Service line connections are reopened using a robotic cutter and remote cameras. <br />46 <br />During the process, existing flows are bypassed using pumps. This technology has been <br />47 <br />proven over the past 20 years, and costs have become competitive with open cut <br />48 <br />replacement. The City started doing this type of renovation on an annual basis in 2006 and <br />49 <br />will have an annual project for the foreseeable future to replace our aging sewer <br />50 <br />infrastructure. This technology also reduces infiltration of groundwater into the system and <br />51 <br />can be credited toward current and future inflow/ infiltration surcharges which are mandated <br />52 <br />by the Metropolitan Council. In 2016 approximately 4.7 miles of sanitary pipe are schedule <br />53 <br />to be lined. The location of this work varies and is spread throughout the City based on <br />54 <br />system priority. <br />55 <br />Pipe Replacements/Repairs <br />: We are also evaluating sanitary and water main replacement <br />56 <br />needs in our pavement replacement areas as well as utility infrastructure needs in County and <br />57 <br />State project areas. Those replacements are being identified from recent utility inspections <br />58 <br />and adjustments to the plan will be communicated to the Council at a later date. To date city <br />59 <br />staff has identified watermain replacements on Heinel Drive, Terrace Drive and Farrington <br />60 <br />Street. <br />61 <br />Lift Station <br />: The Cleveland Sanitary Sewer Lift Station, located at Cleveland Ave and <br />62 <br />Brenner Ave, is recommended for replacement in 2016. The estimated cost of this <br />63 <br />replacement is about $522,000 <br />64 <br />Storm Sewer system improvements: <br />The City is working to finalize a joint project with <br />65 <br />the Capitol Region Watershed District at Upper Villa Ballfields (B-Dale Club). This facility <br />66 <br />will also be an underground storage and reuse facility. <br />67 <br />Staff is working on replacement of the St Croix storm sewer lift station located along St. <br />68 <br />Croix Street south of Terminal Road. Project started in the fall of 2015 and should be <br />69 <br />completed by spring of 2016. <br />70 <br />Staff continues to analyze the existing drainage systems and localized flooding issues and is <br />71 <br />identifying mitigation projects. Staff is now working on developing a 2016 drainage <br />72 <br />improvement project to alleviate some of these flooding concerns. Staff has already <br />73 <br />identified several projects for 2016. Some of the projects include; <br />74 <br />Storm Pond Maintenance – Work involves removing sediment that has built up in <br />75 <br />Page 2 of 4 <br /> <br />
