City Council Memorandum
To: Mayor Fasbender & City Council Members
From: John Caven
Date: November 6, 2023
Item: Resolution Supporting and Authorizing Application to MnDOT for Local Road Improvement
Program (LRIP) for Mill and Overlay of 36th Street West.
Council Action Requested:
Council is requested to approve resolution of support and authorize application to the MnDOT LRIP. The
improvements identified in the LRIP application include a mill and overlay of 36th Street West from Trunk
Highway 61 to the west end near Village Way.
Background Information:
LRIP Grant applications are being received by MnDOT through December 8, 2023. MnDOT will award
projects on March 29, 2024. LRIP solicitation guide states that projects should be ready for construction
in 2024, 2025, or 2026 with final payment no later than June 30, 2027.
Applications will be reviewed by MnDOT and selected competitively on the following criteria:
1) The number of people that will benefit by the project
2) Operational and safety improvements of the transportation system
3) Project readiness
4) Routes of regional significance (Farm to market artery, 10 ton road, provides congestion relief)
5) Be non-controversial
6) Extend a roadways life a minimum of 10 years
Reconditioning projects such as a mill and overlay are eligible for the grant. However, LRIP funds may
not be used for public utilities, trails, sidewalks, or ADA improvements. 36th Street West from TH 61 to
west end is a one mile long minor collector with an average daily traffic load of 2,100 vehicles. The
corridor was constructed in the early 2000s and is now subject to pavement distresses that will require a
mill and overlay within the next 2-5 years. The corridor is a 10 ton road, serves as a northerly access
route to farm fields directly to the south, and provides a vital connection between CSAH 46 and TH 61.
This non-controversial project will extend a pavement's life 15-20 years and is best served to have a mill
and overlay completed in 2025.
Financial Impact:
The estimated construction costs for the project is $715,000. The qualifying amount of LRIP funds for
this project is $450,000. Local funds would account for the remaining $265,000. The local funds would
be paid from the mill and overlay program budget.
