2015 STREET REHABILITATION PROJECT (KERBER BOULEVARD): PUBLIC
HEARING; CONSIDER APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION ORDERING PLANS AND
SPECIFICATIONS.
Paul Oehme: Thank you Mayor, City Council members. Tonight we’d like to have the council
consider allowing staff to finish up plans and specs on the Kerber Boulevard improvement. So
through the agenda tonight we’d like to talk about the background, the need for the project. The
scope of the project. What’s proposed. The cost and financing of the project and the schedule
and then we’d like to open up the project for a public hearing as well. So what is being proposed
under this project is the rehabilitation of approximately 1.4 miles of streets and that’s on Kerber
th
Boulevard again from Powers Boulevard all the way down to 78 Street. So the road is 40 feet
wide. It’s 35 years old. The southern half of Kerber Boulevard was originally constructed back
in the 1940’s when this was just a smaller, little town. Been obviously reconstructed since then.
It has been overlaid in ’96 and was also sealcoated. The reason for the project is, it is nearly 20
years old. There are some conditions of the pavement that staff feels should be fixed at this time.
The street cannot be maintained cost effectively with say sealcoats and just regular maintenance
package so we’re looking at a little bit higher level of maintenance at this time. The City does
rate our streets in terms of the quality, of the ride ability and the, how structurally sound it is so
rating our streets basically from 100 for a new street down to 0 for a deteriorated street and
here’s just some examples of some, examples of severities of pavement distresses that we find
and we rate. So with that system that we use for rating our pavements we do rate our streets,
every street once every 3 years. This Kerber Boulevard was re-surveyed back in 2013 was the
last time so based upon that survey the ranges are shown here. Anywhere from 23 as a low point
up to 57 so this is in our range of where we typically would consider a mill and an overlay. Not
a full reconstruction. Not ripping out or removing the whole pavement section but basically just
the wear surface where we see a lot of pothole issues and cracks and ride ability issues. That’s
the thing that we’d like to address under this project. What is being proposed is a 4 inch mill and
overlay for the entire street section so we’d come in there. Hire a contractor to mill out 4 inches.
Fix any distresses that are out there. Patch those areas and there’s some curb and gutter that also
would have to be repaired in conjunction with that and then resurface the road. Also being
proposed is, are the looking at the trails along Kerber Boulevard. They are basically the same
vintage or they were put in at about the same time as the roadway. We also do rate our trails and
they are within the range where we feel they should be removed and replaced at this time. We
are looking at going out with bids for this, for the trail section with alternate bids so we have the
ability to add that into the contract or delete it from the contract if the council desires. So storm
sewer that’s being proposed, improvements. Many of the manholes out here, covers, rings are
