PUBLIC WORKS/CITY ENGINEER REPORT 13. 2010 STREET PROJECT UPDATE AND SELECTION Edwards stated this item is to update the City Council on the 2020 street maintenance projects and refine the list of roads to be completed. Since the Council last discussed this in the spring, Staff has received the design preliminary numbers from the consulting engineer. In addition, some of the assumptions that Staff used have changed slightly. As a result,there are more roads on the list for next year than the City can currently afford. Staff has placed them in a priority order and those are the ones highlighted in green. Also included in Staff's report are the estimated costs for the other utility funds that help fund the road projects. While those funds have adequate funding at this time,the limiting factor is the pavement fund. Staff made some assumptions early in the planning phase on what type of project would be required on each road. As an example,Casco Circle was originally projected to require a mill and overlay,but after a more thorough review, Staff now feels a total reclaim is necessary in order to help make all the storm sewer improvements work. Edwards noted the engineering work that has been done on these roads is still valid and will not need to be redone. Printup asked if all the preliminary work can be done on all the roads. Page 3 of 9
