Derby Street Rehabilitation Costs & Options

Justin Reeise and Josie Esker Public Works/Engineering Department, informed the members that Hanson had completed the survey work and soil borings for moving ahead with the preliminary design phase of the rehabilitation of the corridor. Hanson Engineering Project Manager Bryce Beckstron Presented alternatives and cost comparisons for complete concrete reconstruction or asphalt overlay Advantages of concrete was 30 year life as compared to asphalt of estimated 15 years. Negative for reconstruction would be inconvenience of the public for shutting down the street for long period of time. Members discussed the cost difference with reconstruction estimated at $14 million dollars and the sources of those funds being MFT and Push Tax revenues. The City would pursue grant options.

Direction was asked on the 5 options presented. After further discussion of combining options the members agreed for staff to present to the Council at the next Council Meeting as option for complete reconstruction or structural overlay.

ANY OTHER BUSINESS TO COME BEFORE THE SUB COMMITTEE Ms. Esker advised the members that R.A. Cullinan and Son/UCM were advised that there was sections of the street maintenance work on parkway that were bumpy. The contract allowed for cost reduction of $5,000 but staff recommended the option for them to grind the areas. Disadvantage to the option was it would be recognizable and could shorten the life of the road.
