Baldur Park Improvement Options, Bolton & Menk, Inc. January 20, 2015. <br />1.Purpose. The purpose of this action item is to gain Council approval of a design option for the Baldur <br />Park Reconstruction Project. <br />2.Background. Baldur Park Road is 1000 ft long bituminous low volume residential road. In 2014 it <br />received pavement condition rating of 46 out of 100. Roads with PCIs in this range require <br />reconstruction. In 2014 Baldur Park Road experienced sustained flooding further deteriorating its <br />condition. In 2014 the residents of Baldur Park Road petitioned the City to have their road rebuilt. In <br />2014 the City submitted for and received funding from FEMA to restore the section of road impacted by <br />the flooding. At the February 23, 2015 work session council directed staff to develop a way forward for <br />completing Baldur park reconstruction in 2015. At the March 9, 2015 Council meeting the Council <br />authorized Bolton and Menk to begin engineering and design. <br />3.Design Options. Bolton and Menk has prepared three design options for reconstruction of Baldur Park <br />Road. (Exhibit A) <br />Option Description Advantages Disadvantages <br />1 Full Depth <br />Reconstruction <br />Removes unstable material <br />Consistent pavement section <br />Provides longest road life <br />High initial cost <br />Significant construction disruption <br />2 Full Depth <br />Reclamation <br />Rehabilitates base <br />Lower initial cost <br />Minimal construction disruption <br />Unstable sub-grade <br />Inconsistent pavement structure <br />Reduced Roadway life <br />3 Partial Depth <br />Reconstruction <br />Consistent pavement section <br />Minimal construction disruption <br />Unstable sub-grade <br />Reduced roadway life compared to <br />full reconstruction <br />4.Cost.

I recommend the Council approve Option 3, partial depth reconstruction. It <br />provides a consistent and protected road structure which should reduce future maintenance costs. It is <br />fundable this year using FEMA funds and the General Fund Balance. <br />9 <br />Entire Council Packet 05/26/15 [Page 325 of 378]
