To: Mayor Fasbender & City Council Members
From: Ryan Stempski, P.E. – Public Works Director/City Engineer
Date: August 15, 2022
Item: Authorize Project Work – 2023 Neighborhood Infrastructure Improvements
Council Action Requested:
The Council is requested to authorize the Engineering Department to take up the required field data
collection (surveying, pipe condition evaluation, and geotechnical investigation), design work,
preparation of a feasibility report, and an appraised benefits analysis for the 2023 Neighborhood
Improvement Area.
Background Information:
The City’s Capital Street Improvement Plan called for Pleasant Drive from CR 46 to 15th Street and
certain surrounding neighborhoods to be improved in 2023. In our initial stage of review, it was
determined that Pleasant Drive will need a full reconstruction rather than just a street reclamation,
making that project more expensive. We still plan to obtain field data collection for the entire area as
originally called for, but it is more realistic to break the project down into two years. Pleasant Drive from
CR 46 to 15th Street, Old Bridge Lane from Northridge Drive to Pleasant Drive, Southview Drive from
Pleasant Drive to Westview Drive, Southview Place, 18th Court, and Ridgewood Court are proposed to be
improved in 2023. That would leave 17th Street from Meadowview Court to Pleasant Drive, 21st Street
from Highland Drive to Pleasant Drive, Highland Drive from 15th Street to the South End, Brittany Road,
Brooke Lane, and Brooke Court to be completed in 2024. These streets are local and would receive a
street improvement based on results of geotechnical evaluation and the need determined for the
underground utility improvements. Depending on these results and budget limitations, some segments
may shift into 2023 or 2024. Also, it is most cost effective to obtain the required field data collection for
this area at one time to minimize mobilization and realize economies of scale. Obtaining an appraisal
analysis for the entire area will allow for consistent assessment rates in 2023 and 2024 for these
contiguous neighborhoods.
A survey will need to be completed to begin design for these street segments. Water and sanitary sewer
mains will need to be evaluated for their current pipe condition. A geotechnical investigation will have
to be conducted to identify subsurface conditions in order to verify design assumptions and anticipate
construction costs. An appraised benefits analysis will also need to be completed to prepare a
preliminary assessment roll for the project. In order to initiate these improvements, the Council must
direct the preparation of a feasibility report as required by the statutory process for public
improvements that are specially assessed.
Financial Impact:
The costs for surveying, pipe condition assessment, appraised benefits analysis, and geotechnical
investigation will be covered through reimbursement from bonded debt funds when bonds are issued
for construction of the project in 2023. These services will need to be outsourced to consultants,
therefore fee estimates will be obtained and managed within the overall project budget.
