o Should the plans be accepted as presented?
RCM Associates, Inc., the consultant engineer for the project, will
present the plans to the Council. These plans are their
recommendation as to the best and most feasible method of
reconstructing 17th Avenue.
The engineer concludes that the existing pavement section need not be
removed. Reconstruction encompasses replacement of bituminous patches
and damaged concrete panels, replacement of sagged curb sections,
repair of damaged catch basins, and crack sealing. No sidewalk
construction is anticipated except for installation of pedestrian
ramps where needed.
Diamond grinding of the concrete has been offered as an option in the
proposal. This is a construction technique used ordinarily on high
speed concrete roadways to enhance rideabili ty. The engineer has
concluded that eliminating this feature could save $40,000 in
construction costs and shorten the construction schedule by 1 1/2'
. weeks.
Some repairs of sanitary sewer immediately north of County Road 3 are
anticipated. This may force the closure of 17th Avenue to traffic for
the duration of the sewer main repair.
Staff recommends that the plans be accepted.
o How will the project be funded?
Funding is assumed to come from MSA allotments, although the city has
the option of assessing a portion of the repair costs to abutting
properties. staff recommends the former source of funding and that
sidewalk pedestrian ramp construction be ,funded through the Public
Works street maintenance budget. Sani tary sewer repairs should be
funded through utility revenues. The engineer estimates this project
to cost $288,300.
o How will traffic control and parking on the street be managed?
In terms of safety, liability, and meeting the project timetable, the
engineer recommends that ~17th Avenue be closed except for local
traffic. Shady Oak Road, 12th Avenue and 5th Avenue would be utilized
as alternate north-south routes. Local parking would still be
. available to residents although spaces may shift from one side of the
roadway to the other as construction progresses. Residents may
experience limited or no access to their driveways but never over an
extended period of time.

Construction is planned to commence the first week in May at County
Road 3 and progress northward to T.H. 7. At an absolute minimum the
project must progress at least from County Road 3 to First street
North by the opening of the Raspberry Festival on June 20. The
engineer, however, anticipates completion of the entire project by
June 20. An informational meeting for the residents is planned for
Monday, March 4 at 7 P.M.
