AGENDA ITEM DETAILS
RECOMMENDATION:
City staff recommends adoption of a resolution ordering the preparation of a feasibility report.
ARE YOU SEEKING APPROVAL OF A CONTRACT? IS A PUBLIC HEARING REQUIRED?
No No
BACKGROUND/JUSTIFICATION:
The existing streets of Walesch Estates & O'Day Acres have PCI (Pavement Condition Index) Ratings of 39
and 60, respectively, which is significantly below the average and some of the lowest current ratings in the
City. Typically, pavements within PCI Ratings of 50 or less are in their final stages of useful life and will
need to be reconstructed in the very near future.
The City’s 2022 Capital Improvement Plan has Walesch Estates & O'Day Acres identified as a Street Renewal
Project. The streets within Walesch Estates & O'Day Acres are all paved with asphalt curbing. Walesch
Estates was overlaid in 1999 and O’Day Acres was originally paved in 1994. The existing roadway consists of a
3 ½” of bituminous surface approximately 22’ wide. The pavements are experiencing block, alligator, and
thermal cracking due to its age. The streets received a sealcoat in 2005 and have had crack filling and
patches completed over the years.
Staff is requesting a feasibility report be completed to determine the best method of street renewal. The
report is required per Minnesota Statute 429 in order to assess benefiting property owners. The report will
provide estimated project costs, identify benefiting properties and funding options, and estimate
assessment amounts.
