Cleveland Avenue Reconstruction ReinitiationTHE CITY OF Dubuque SUB ~~-~;~~~Y E ~- Masterpiece on the Mississippi 2ao~ TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Council Members FROM: Michael C. Van Milligen, City Manager SUBJECT: Cleveland Avenue Reconstruction Project -Bryant Street to Villa Street CIP 3001972 -Fiscal Year 2009 Street Construction Program DATE: February 28, 2008 Due to an error in the "Notice to Property Owners", City Engineer Gus Psihoyos is recommending re-initiation of the Cleveland Avenue Reconstruction Project -Bryant Street to Villa Street. Originally the Cleveland Avenue Reconstruction Project -Bryant Street to Villa Street was initiated at the February 18, 2008 meeting with the public hearing set for March 3. The Engineering Department used an old version of the "Notice to Property Owners." When it was published and sent to impacted property owners, it noted the location of the public hearing as the Public Library versus the Historic Federal Building Council Chambers. The recommendation includes using the City standard width for collector streets of 37', approval of the Resolution of Necessity, approval of the Preliminary Schedule of Assessments and establishment of March 17, 2008, as the date for the public hearing. The Schedule of Assessments includes assessments for only a 37' street width. There have been three public information meetings held with the property owners since November 29, 2007. The current street width is 40', instead of the standard collector street width of 37'. At the first public information meeting, many of the property owners were opposed to reducing the street width. A petition was received from residents, representing 56 properties, that were opposed to reducing the street width on the project. The total number of assessed parcels on the project is 127. At the public information meeting on December 13, 2007, an informational letter was mailed to all property owners. The informational letter included a survey to indicate street-width preference and aself-addressed, stamped envelope to mail the survey back to the City. Of the 74 returned surveys, 46 desired a 40' street width and 28 desired a 37' street width. The third and final public information meeting was held on February 9, 2008. The 28 people who attended the meeting were asked to sign in and on the sign-in sheet they were asked to choose which street width they desired. The results of the survey were that 14 attendees wanted a 40' width street and 14 attendees wanted a 37' width street. The Engineering Department believes that the standard 37' width for a collector street is appropriate for Cleveland Avenue for the following reasons: 1. Eleven of the 40 trees on the project will have to be removed no matter the width of the street. The remaining 29 trees can be saved if the street width is 37', but must be removed if the street width is 40'. 2. A wider grass parkway provides additional space for snow storage before it impacts the public sidewalk. 3. The 37' street width matches the City standard for a collector street. 4. The new street will have a flatter crown that will allow vehicles to park closer to the curb. Currently vehicles park three to four feet from the curb because the crown of the existing street is very steep. 5. The new curb and gutter will be substantially shorter than the existing limestone curb. The existing curb varies in height from 8" to 12". With existing curb heights this high, most residents do not want to park next to the curb. This causes the street to appear narrower than it actually is. City Engineer Gus Psihoyos further recommends that should the City Council decide that the street should be 40' instead of 37', that the extra cost for the wider street be 100% assessable to the residents. On other City projects, such as Freemont Street historic streetlights, Cox Street amenities, including landscaping and lighting, and brick street repair on 15th Street for Behr's Funeral Home, the additional cost above the City of Dubuque standards has been paid 100% by the property owners. It should be noted on this project, that in these three public meetings the property owners have not been told they will incur any additional cost for a wider street. Property owners currently pay assessments based on the City's standard residential street section of 31'. Under the City's current assessment policy, residents help pay for an equivalent local residential street section of 31' and, in cases where a collector street is necessary, the City pays for all additional costs related to the extra width. Other recent residential collector streets constructed to the 37' width include Rosedale Avenue, Bryant Street, Rush Street and Matthew John Drive. In the case of Cleveland Street, if it was built to the 40' standard, the residents would not pay any additional cost for the street width from 31' to 37', but would pay 100% of the cost over 37' if this recommendation is accepted. I concur with the recommendation and respectfully request Mayor and City Council approval. Michael C.

D~R ~ AN-AmericaCitY LL Masterpiece on the Mississippi 2007 TO: Michael C. Van Milligen, City Manager FROM: Gus Psihoyos, City Engineer SUBJECT: Cleveland Avenue Reconstruction Project -Bryant Street to Villa Street CIP 3001972 -Fiscal Year 2009 Street Construction Program DATE: February 27, 2008 INTRODUCTION The enclosed resolutions authorize the public bidding procedure for the Cleveland Avenue Reconstruction Project -Bryant Street to Villa Street. Originally The Cleveland Avenue Reconstruction Project -Bryant Street to Villa Street was initiated at the February 18, 2008 meeting, with the public hearing set for March 3. The Engineering Department used an old version of the "Notice to Property Owners". When it was published and sent to impacted property owners, it noted the location of the public hearing as the Public Library versus the Historic Federal Building Council Chambers. BACKGROUND Cleveland Avenue was originally constructed with macadam in the mid-1800s. In 1924 the roadway was constructed with bituminous concrete. Cleveland Avenue is currently an asphalt-paved, 40-foot wide street, with limestone curb on both sides of the street. DISCUSSION The Cleveland Avenue Reconstruction Project -Bryant Street to Villa Street will provide for the reconstruction of underground utilities, roadway sub-base and the construction of anew 37-foot wide concrete roadway between Bryant Street and Villa Street. During the design process for this project, the Engineering Department met with the property owners three times to discuss the pavement width of Cleveland Avenue. Engineering proposes reducing the street width from 40 feet to 37 feet. The proposed 37-foot wide pavement width is the City standard for collector streets. Property owners were given the opportunity to voice their opinion concerning the street width. By a 2:1 margin, the residents prefer a 40-foot wide street. Engineering staff discussed the merits of a 37-foot wide street including: • Green Solution -The reduction in the pavement width will reduce the impervious area of the street by 7.5%. Thus the larger parkways will reduce stormwater runoff in the area. • Width Not Needed -The additional width the property owners want is not needed to maintain two-way traffic. The 37-foot pavement provides for two 11-foot lanes of traffic and 7-foot wide parking lanes. • Saving Trees -The narrower street will allow for approximately 29 street trees to be saved. Leaving the pavement at 40 feet wide would result in the removal of all street trees. The street trees provide for shade in the summer and help reduce the energy needed to cool homes in the summer. The additional parkway also provides a site for future tree plantings. • Reduced Speeds -One of the concerns of the residents was with high vehicular speeds on Cleveland Avenue. Engineering staff discussed that with a smoother street and maintaining the current width of 40 feet the vehicle speeds on the street will increase by 3 - 4 miles per hour. Many studies have shown this to be accurate. Narrowing the street to the City standard width of 37 feet will confine the traffic somewhat thus providing a traffic calming effect that reduces speeds. • Extra Cost -The Engineering Department estimated the additional cost for adding an extra 3 feet of concrete pavement (40-foot width), additional stone, and additional tree removal (29 trees) is $92,000. The project will be constructed in two phases. Phase I of the project will include the complete reconstruction of all underground utilities and mainline roadway construction from Bryant Street to Plum Street. During Phase I, the contractor will not be able to do any construction from Bryant Street to Plum Street until the last day of school (tentatively June 9th, 2008). All work in the Phase I section will need to be completed from Bryant Street to Plum Street before school opens on August 25th, 2008. Phase II of the project will include the complete reconstruction of all underground utilities and mainline roadway construction from Plum Street to Villa Street. The Phase II section of work is anticipated to be completed by November 21St, 2008 and open to local residents and vehicular traffic. The project will incorporate upgrades to the existing sanitary sewer system that include: the complete reconstruction of approximately 3,065 lineal feet of 8-inch mainline sewer; the reconstruction of 16 deteriorated brick manholes; and the replacement of 94 private sanitary sewer laterals. The cost for the individual sanitary sewer lateral replacements will be assessed to each respective private property owner. The project will also include the reconstruction of approximately 3,600 lineal feet of watermain, mainline valves, fire hydrants, and the replacement of 63 lead residential water services. The cost of the individual lead residential water service replacements will be assessed to each respective private property owner. The project also provides for the: construction of approximately 1,585 lineal feet of new storm sewer and 19 catch basins to improve the storm water conveyance in the area; the installation of fiber optics and telecommunications conduit infrastructure; and the replacement of existing sidewalks. City staff met with the City Forester on this project to discuss the condition and impact to the existing City trees within the project corridor. There are a total of 40 trees in this corridor. The majority of these are mature trees. Regardless of the street width, both the Engineering Department and City Forester agree 11 trees will need to be removed due to their deteriorating condition. PROJECT COORDINATION In an effort to inform the impacted residents along Cleveland Avenue, from Bryant Street to Villa Street, the Engineering Department staff conducted three public informational meetings. The open forum meetings allows staff to discuss the scope of the project, construction schedule, special assessment procedures, availability of financial assistance, as well as to answer any questions relating to the project. The public informational meetings proved to offer mutual benefit to both staff and residents. All three public information meetings were held at George Washington Middle School. Public Information Meeting #1 -November 29, 2007 At this meeting the project scope and potential impacts were discussed with property owners. A possible project timeline was discussed for a street reconstruction project. The Engineering staff expressed the desire to narrow the street from 40 feet wide to 37 feet wide. Many reasons were shared with the property owners for the street narrowing. The primary reasons included: To save approximately 29 of the 40 mature trees from having to be removed; widening the parkway for additional snow storage; and to have a street width that matches the City's standard for a collector street. Many of the property owners at this meeting were opposed to reducing the street width. A petition was received from residents representing 56 properties that were opposed to reducing the street width on the project. The total number of assessed parcels on the project is 127. At the end of this meeting, Engineering staff proposed mailing an informational sheet about the project and including a survey sheet for the residents to choose their preference on the street width. Engineering staff felt that property owners may change their mind after presented with the additional information and allowed to express their opinion with anonymity to their neighbors. The property owners were supportive of this idea. Public Information Meeting #2 -December 13, 2007 Prior to this public information meeting, Engineering staff contacted the City Forester to inspect all of the trees in the corridor. He indicated that 11 of 40 trees will have to be removed due to disease or some form of decline in the trees. The remaining 29 trees would have to be removed if the street is maintained at its present width of 40 feet due to the construction activity. The Engineering staff also discussed the merits of reducing the street width and how the new construction will address their concerns. This information was shared with the property owners in the form of an informational letter mailed to all property owners. The informational memo included a survey to indicate street width preference and aself-addressed stamped envelope to mail the survey back to the City. The results of this survey were: Desire 40-foot width = 46 Desire 37-foot width = 28 After reviewing the results of this survey, it was discovered that 9 properties changed their minds from supporting a 40-foot street width to supporting a 37-foot street width. At the second public information meeting, the results of the survey were shared. Engineering staff again discussed the project scope and possible project timeline. Property owner questions were answered by staff on a variety of subjects. It was stated by staff that a third public information meeting would be scheduled once staff had calculated the probable special assessments. Public Information Meeting #3 -February 9, 2008 At this public information meeting, City Engineering staff stated that plans and specifications are continuing to be developed based on a 37-foot wide street. Staff explained the merits of a 37-foot wide street. When the residents came into the meeting room they were asked to complete asign-in sheet. On the sign-in sheet, they were asked again to choose which street width they desired. The results of this survey are as follows: Properties wanting 40-foot width = 14 Properties wanting 37-foot width = 14 During the meeting, Engineering staff distributed a copy of a memo sent to the City Manager detailing the concerns of the property owners and the Engineering Department's response to those concerns. Traffic count information was shared with the property owners. It was noted that Bryant Street is 37 feet wide and carries approximately 10 times more traffic than Cleveland Avenue. The Engineering staff understands that residents want a wider street. However, the traffic data and other examples around the City show that a wider street is not needed in this case. Again, the information presented included reasons why a 37-foot wide street would be sufficient. These included the reasons stated earlier and the following: • Crown of the Road -The new street will have a flatter crown that will allow vehicles to park closer to the curb. Currently vehicles park three to four feet from the curb because the crown of the existing street is very steep. • Curb & Gutter -The new curb and gutter will be substantially shorter than the existing limestone curb. The existing curb varies in height from 8 to 12 inches. With existing curb heights this high, most residents don't want to park next to the curbs. This causes the street to appear narrower than it is. • Parkways - It was again pointed out that the wider parkways will allow for additional snow storage, the ability to plant future street trees and be able to save 29 out of 40 existing street trees. Engineering staff discussed the preliminary assessments that have been calculated. Staff also discussed the probable construction schedule and their ability to coordinate with the contractor for private utility work. PROJECT SCHEDULE The schedule for the project is as follows: Initiate Public Bidding Process Publish Notice to Bidders, Advertise for Bids Publish Public Hearing Notice on Plans, Specs, Assessments Mail Special Assessment Notice to Property Owners Publish Notice of Special Assessment: 1st Publication: 2nd Publication: Public Hearing on Plans & Specs, Spec.

I also recommend that any cost for a street wider than 37 feet be 100% assessable to the residents. The current city standard for a collector street is 37 feet. On other City projects (Fremont Street historic streetlights, Cox Street amenities including landscaping and lighting, brick street repair on 15th Street for Behr's Funeral Home), any additional cost above City of Dubuque standards has been paid 100% by the property owners. It should be noted that on this project, the property owners have not been told they will incur an additional cost for a wider street. Property owners currently pay assessments based on the City's standard residential street section of 31 feet. Under the City's current assessment policy, residents help pay for an equivalent local residential street section; and, in cases where a collector street is necessary, the City pays for all additional costs related to the extra width. In the case of Cleveland Avenue, the Engineering Department believes that a 37-foot wide street section is sufficient. Other recent residential collector streets constructed to the 37-foot width include Rosedale Avenue, Bryant Street, Rush Street and Matthew John Drive. BUDGET IMPACT The estimate of probable cost for Cleveland Avenue Reconstruction Project -Bryant Street to Villa Street is summarized as follows: Estimate Construction Contract $1,795,266.25 Contingency (10%) 179,526.63 Construction Engineering & Inspection (15%) 296,218.93 Total Project Cost $2,271,011.81 The estimated project category costs are as follows: Cost Summary/Description Amount Street Construction Improvements $1,214,676.48 Special Assessment -Street Improvement, Residential Properties 164,875.12 Special Assessment -Street Improvement, Commercial Properties 8,899.54 Special Assessment -Street Improvement Deficiency, Paid by the City 0.00 Special Assessment -Water Services, Residential Properties 111,865.47 Special Assessment -Sanitary Sewer Lateral, Residential Properties 118,315.45 Special Assessment -Concrete Sidewalk, Residential Properties 444.61 Watermain Improvements 282,765.45 Sanitary Sewer Improvements 169,840.54 Storm Sewer Improvements 101,849.83 Fiber Optic Conduit 97,479.32 Total Project Cost $2,271,011.81 The project funding summary is as follows: CIP No. Fund Description Fund Amount 3001972 Street Construction Program $1,235,526.31 Special Assessments 404,400.19 7401405 Watermain Replacement Program 282,765.45 7101638 Street Program Related Sanitary Sewer Improvements 169,840.54 7201973 Cleveland Ave (Bryant to Villa) Storm Sewer Improvements 81,000.00 1021017 Fiber Optic Conduit -Paving Projects 97,479.32 Total Project Funding $2,271,011.81 The Cleveland Avenue Reconstruction Project will be funded through the annual capital improvement project appropriation of City funds as noted above in the amount of $1,866,611.62. The project, as outlined, will require Special Assessments in the amount of $404,400.19 and expenditure from the FY2009 Annual Street Construction Program (Funded through Local Option Sales Tax) in the amount of $1,235,526.31. PROPERTY ASSESSMENTS Low- to moderate-income property owners subject to street assessment will be eligible for financial assistance ranging from 20 to 100 percent of the street assessment for the owner-occupied resident property depending on family size and income level. This financial assistance program is made available through the One Percent Local Option Sales Tax. The Preliminary Special Assessments that have been calculated for the property owners are based on a 37-foot wide street. If the City Council decides to assess the additional cost for the wider street, the Preliminary Special Assessments will need to be re-calculated and the project will have to be initiated again. This would delay the initiation of the project by several weeks. This delay could also adversely affect the cost of the project since the later bid date could result in higher unit prices. ACTION TO BE TAKEN The City Council is requested to give preliminary approval to the Resolution of Necessity, approve the Preliminary Schedule of Assessments, establish the date of the public hearing, and authorize the City Clerk to advertise for bid proposals through the adoption of the enclosed resolutions for the Cleveland Avenue Reconstruction Project - Bryant Street to Villa Street.
