CR 97-156 Feasibility Report - Interlachen Park NeighborhoodAugust 28, 1997 Council Report 97 -156 0 P K Order Feasibility Report 1998 Residential Street Improvements - Interlachen Park Neighborhood Proposed Action. Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Move that Council adopt Resolution 97 -88, Resolution Ordering preparation of a Feasibility Report 1998 Residential Street Improvements including Preston Lane (Ashley Rd to Homedale Rd), Ashley Road (Preston Lane to Boyce St) and Holly Road (Goodrich St to dead end) and allow the City Manager to enter into an agreement with Bolton & Menk, Inc. (BMI) for preparation of feasibility report and preliminary survey. This action is the first step in the process of improving these selected streets in the Interlachen Park neighborhood. The City has not received a petition to improve these streets. Overview. In preparation for 1997 residential street improvements, these Interlachen neighborhood streets were evaluated and given pavement condition indices warranting major rehabilitation or reconstruction. The neighborhood residents objected to city street improvement policy which mandated the use of concrete curb and gutter or raised asphalt pavement edge. The project was deferred to 1998. Staff presented information on the drainage and pavement edge strength benefits of concrete curb or raised asphalt edge. City Council considered all the issues and decided to modify the policy to allow reconstruction without concrete curb and gutter or raised asphalt edge in certain instances. The Interlachen neighborhood has met the requirements necessary to allow reconstruction without curb or raised asphalt edge. A feasibility study is the required first step in this proposed assessable street improvement project. Primary Issues to Consider How was BMI selected? What are the requirements necessary to allow reconstruction without curb? What is the scope of the proposed improvements? Project Assessments, estimated costs and schedule Supporting Information BMI proposal Reo ution 97 -8 S teven J. Stadler, Director of Public Works Council Report 97 -156 Page 2 Analysis of Issues How was BMI selected? Four proposals were received and reviewed by staff for understanding of project requirements, overall qualifications, individual qualifications of project team members, and City knowledge or experience with consultant. BMI scored the highest overall with a solid understanding of the unique character of this street improvement project, proven project team, public process and schedule. BMI proposed cost for preliminary survey and feasibility study is $18,550. The other three proposals were provided by SEH, Inc., Howard R. Green Company (formerly MSA Consulting Engineers), and RLK Kuusisto Ltd. What are the requirements necessary to allow reconstruction without curb? Reconstruction without curb or raised asphalt edge is allowed in areas without curbs if a petition against curbs representing at least 55% of the property owners in the "affected area ", as defined by City Council, is presented to Council. City Council had previously defined the affected area of this project as the entire Interlachen neighborhood. The Interlachen residents were successful in obtaining signatures from property owners representing 58% of the total Interlachen Park neighborhood. What are the scope of the proposed improvements? Improvements would include: Street reconstruction Drainage improvements Sanitary sewer pipe replacement, as necessary. Project Assessments, estimated cost and schedule Engineering and street reconstruction costs would be assessed to abutting property owners. The feasibility study would provide preliminary assessment information. The estimated cost of these improvements is $277,300 Council Report 97 -156 Page 3 Preliminary Project Schedule: Complete preliminary survey and feasibility report - October 31 Public Information Meetings - early September and early November Accept Feasibility Study, Order Public Hea ring - November Public Hea ring, authorize plans - December 1997 Approve Plans and Specifications, order bids - February 1998 Open Bids - March 1998 Assessment Hearing - April 1998 Award Bid - May Construction Start June, 1998 8L.

Engineering Proposal for Section 1 -1 1998 Street Improvements Submitted by: City of Hopkins, Minnesota Bolton & Menk, Inc. Task 2: Data Collection This task will include collecting existing data (furnished by the City) relating to the project and adjacent areas. This would include sanitary sewer tapes, boundary surveys, topographic surveys, soil surveys, utility maps, as builts, plans, parking lot plans, traffic studies, aerial photos and all other pertinent information as it may relate to the proposed improvements. Task 3: Watermain and Sanitary Sewer This task will include a discussion with City staff of the condition of the existing underlying watermain and sanitary sewer. BMI staff will review the existing sanitary sewer video tapes and make an evaluation of the sewer condition and recommend improvements. Discussions with City staff will determine whether any segment of the existing watermain and/or sanitary sewer systems needs to be upgraded, replaced or extended at this time. Task 4: Storm Sewer Capacity The existing storm sewer system will be analyzed for conditions and capacity. An overall drainage analysis will be completed for the Interlocken street improvements to determine whether additional storm sewer is needed. Task 5: Pavement Evaluation This task will include a review of the existing pavement conditions of the streets within the Interlocked area followed by recommendations as to what type of rehabilitation method is appropriate at this time. Issues to be taken into account include: the pavement condition; underlying subgrade soils; condition of the underlying utilities; and future improvements planned for the intersecting streets. A pavement condition analysis will be completed by Braun Intertec using the Dynamic Cone Penetrometer testing. This will determine the strength capacities of the underlying soils and assist ✓ in making recommendations for pavement edge design. Task 6: Cost Estimate This task will include completing the Engineer's Opinion of Cost for the proposed improvements. Task 7: Review Meeting This task will include a meeting with City staff to review the results of tasks 3, 4 and 5. Engineering Proposal for Section 1 - 2 1998 Street Improvements Submitted by: City of Hopkins, Minnesota Bolton & Menk, Inc. Task 8: Financing and Assessments This task will identify the funding sources and complete a preliminary assessment roll based upon the City's assessment policy and the engineers opinion of probable costs. City staff will furnish the ✓ parcel numbers, owners and front footage for each of the affected parcels. Task 9: Draft Report Under this task, a draft report which presents and discusses the existing conditions, proposed improvements, funding and exhibits, will be prepared and submitted to City staff for review, comment, and discussions. Task 10: Final Report Based upon the comments received from city staff and the residents at the neighborhood meeting, a final feasibility report will be prepared and submitted to the city. Task 11: Neighborhood Meeting and Public Hearing This task will include two (2) meetings including one public information meeting to discuss the proposed improvements and one presentation of the feasibility report to the City Council. 3. Pavement Testing and Analysis Braun Intertec will assist Bolton & Menk in performing testing of the existing pavement and subgrade as well as reviewing pavement design alternatives. Specifically, this work will include: Task 1: Nondestructive Deflection Testing Nondestructive deflection testing will be conducted on approximately 3,000 feet of city street using a Model 8000E Dynatest Falling Weight Deflectometer (FWD). Testing will be in the outer wheel path at 100 -foot intervals in both directions. The testing will be staggered in opposite directions to yield a net interval of 50 feet. Task 2: Analysis of Subgrade Soil Strength The analysis of the field data will include the calculation of the in -place subgrade soil strength, in- place pavement strength, and required rehabilitation to obtain a 7 -ton capacity for all other streets. Engineering Proposal for Section 1 - 3 1998 Street Improvements Submitted by: City of Hopkins, Minnesota Bolton & Menk, Inc. • Task 3: Auger Borings Auger borings to verify the depth of the existing street sections will be conducted at approximately eight locations. The cores will be used to determine the respective depth of the bituminous and aggregate base, along with sampling 1 foot to 1.5 feet of the subgrade for the soil classification and analysis. The core holes will be filled and recompacted after the field work has been completed. Dynamic Cone Penetrometer (DCP) tests will be taken at ten locations along the pavement edge to determine the soil strength. The DCP provides information regarding soil layering in the upper 3 feet, as measured by resistance to penetration. Task 4: Pavement Design The data obtained will be analyzed to determine the in -place strength of the subgrade soils. The soils information, in -place pavement layer information and traffic loadings will be used to develop recommendations for the pavement rehabilitation. It is our understanding that the streets will not have concrete curb and gutter and that the recommendations will be needed regarding the design detail for the pavement edge, including subgrade support, drainage, pavement cross section thickness at the edge, asphalt mix and placement considerations.

Engineering Proposal for Section 2 - 2 1998 Street Improvements Submitted by: City of Hopkins, Minnesota Bolton & Menk, Inc. 1. Raised Pavement Edge DESIGN APPROACH AND OPTIONS Our design approach for the street improvements within the Interlocken neighborhood will be to incorporate the specific aesthetic desires of the area residences while designing a pavement section having sufficient support and drainage characteristics, all without concrete curb and gutter. Bolton and Menk will incorporate past experience in pavement design together with the pavement experts at Braun Intertec to devise a pavement design and construction which will be a long lasting, durable pavement while directing and carrying storm water runoff to the catchbasins. Some of the options under consideration are as follows: Most of the area boulevards along Ashley Road, Preston Lane and Holly Road are above the pavement elevation. Thus, a raised or thickened pavement edge would carry water along the depressed area created by the raised edge and the cross slope. Also, in a normal rainfall event, street runoff would not saturate the subgrade through the grass /pavement edge. 2. Underdrains Due to the fairly flat street grades, underdrains are recommended along the edges of the proposed pavement and tied into the storm sewer system. The underdrain is intended to collect water which seeps under the bituminous pavement at the pavement/grass edge. It will also keep the subgrade aggregate free of standing water, thus reducing its susceptibility to frost and heaving. For the most part, the City of Hopkins has fairly clean aggregate subgrade soils. The underdrain trench should be filled with a clean, porous aggregate and wrapped with geotextile fabric to keep the adjacent soils from pumping into and contaminating the aggregate. 3. Pavement Edge Support Without the use of concrete curb and gutter to help support the pavement edge, an underlying reinforcement is recommended. This additional pavement support might be provided by either a reinforcement fabric, additional aggregate base and/or additional bituminous base. The reinforcement should extend beyond the pavement edge to proved additional lateral support along the pavement edge, particularly at driveway areas. In addition to the supporting strength characteristics, the use of fabric would also provide a separating medium between the aggregate base and the underdrain trench. This would also protect against contamination of the underdrain trench from pumping caused by the traffic loads, especially at the driveways. 4. Street Grades and Storm Sewer Improvements A visual survey of the project area has revealed that the existing street grades are fairly flat and that surface water needs to travel a considerable distance to the nearest catchbasin. The goal of this design phase would be to develop improved street grades, with a minimum longitudinal grade of one percent. This would remove the surface runoffas quickly as possible to minimize ponding on the street surface and seepage into the subgrade. In addition, it is very difficult to construct bituminous at less than one percent grade without resulting in bird baths and dips in the pavement surface. Engineering Proposal for Section 3 - 1 1998 Street Improvements Submitted by: City of Hopkins, Minnesota Bolton & Menk, Inc. The storm sewer system will be analyzed to provide sufficient capacity in both the underlying pipe and the surface grate. The existing storm sewer catchbasins will be utilized as much as possible. However, this system will be reviewed against the new street grades to recommend additional structures as needed. Each of the above items will be reviewed and considered for the benefits achieved and weighed against the costs. The final design will ultimately depend upon the existing soil characteristics and support strength; especially during periods of freezing and thawing, when the pavement is most susceptible to damage caused by traffic loadings.
