FEASIBILITY REPORT CONCRETE ALLEY PAVING 8TH AVE N/9TH AVE N/1ST ST N/450 FEET SOUTH OF 1ST ST NO CITY PROJECT NO. 94-13 JUNE 16, 1994 Introduction The 1994-98 Capital Improvement Plan (C.I.P.) includes an alley paving project for each year of the five year plan. The 1994 plan identified three alleys that staff determined was necessary to upgrade with concrete paving due to the high maintenance and drainage problems associated with them. The City Council reviewed these proposed alley paving projects during their review of the C.I.P., and subsequently authorized staff to begin the initial analysis of these projects upon their adoption of the C.I.P. Backqround The alley bounded by 8th Ave N/9th Ave N/lst st N/450 feet south of 1st st No, is presently considered an unimproved alley. It's surface consists of a 1" - 1.5" asphalt layer that has poor drainage characteristics. The combination of the thin asphalt layer and the poor drainage patterns have resulted in this alley developing many potholes over the years thereby substantially increasing maintenance 4It and other associated problems. Proposed Design The proposed alley improvement project provides for the construction of a concrete pavement surface 12 feet wide and six inches thick ln accordance with the City of Hopkins' improvement policy. A new alley aprons will also be constructed on 1st St N. Driveway aprons will be paved between the new alley surface and the paved driveways with similar material as the top surface of the driveway. Gravel will be placed in driveway openings in all situations other than matching concrete or asphalt driveways. There will be no sod restoration on this project. Black dirt and seed will be placed in all disturbed turf areas along the alley. The pavement will include a "V" design, slightly depressed in the middle, to channel water towards the middle of the alley instead of towards adjacent properties. It is also proposed that the pavement grades be established to direct the drainage to an existing storm sewer system located in this alley. . ----- - -- .- - - - -- ------ Feasibility Report: Project No. 94-13 Page 2 . Proposed Funding It is proposed that the concrete pavement portion of the project be assessed ln accordance with city pOlicy, 80% against abutting benefitted properties and 20% against the city of Hopkins. It is further proposed that the city's share of the project be paid entirely from the storm sewer utility fund in accordance with city policy. It has been determined that the fairest method to assess this project is on a lineal footage basis. It has been further determined that the maximum lineal footage assessment, for a non-square shaped lot, will be based on 75 lineal feet due to the odd shape of a few parcels. A maximum assessment was chosen in this situation as a means to determine actual benefit of the project. A summary of the estimated costs and assessments are provided below. proiect Costs Contract Costs $19,256.00 Engineering/Overhead $ 1,925.13 Total $21,181.13 80% share of Total Project Cost per assessment policy $16,944.90 . Assessable lineal footage 672.15 feet Lineal Footage Assessment $ 25.21 Assessment Period 10 years Interest Rate 8% Recommendation It is recommended that the city Council accept the City Engineer'S feasibility report as outlined herein, and order the improvement made subsequent to holding a public hearing.
