� COUNCIL COMMUNICATION FORM . Engineering & Infrastructure Memorandum � NO. 2001-16 April 10, 2001 TO: Honorable Mayor Howley and City Council FROM: Steve Garman, City Manager Stephen P. Swanson, P.E., Director of Engineering &Infrastructure Matthew C. Newell,P.E., City Engineer G�%.'�� SUBJECT: Country Manor/Powers Boulevard Pavement Restoration SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION: � An item on the agenda for the April 16, 2001, City Council Meeting is the authorization of an agreement for engineering services with SKS Engineers, Inc. (SKS) for a fee not to exceed $20,000 to provide preliminary design services for a proposed roadway and storm drainage improvement project for the Country Manor / Powers Boulevard area as delineated on the attached map. Staff recommends that the City Council approve the attached agreement for a preliminary design of the proposed street and storm drainage improvements. BACKGROUND: Over the past several years, City Engineering has received numerous complaints from Country Manor Drive / Powers Boulevard residents regarding the condition of the streets servicing this neighborhood. Roadway damage to the concrete pavement in this area is significant enough that traditional pavement rehabilitation techniques can no longer adequately address the repairs needed. Storm drainage needs must first be addressed in the neighborhood followed by a pavement replacement / improvement strategy that will restore long term serviceability to the area street system. Staff proposes to have SKS take and analyze soil borings as part of a pavement review of the street system along with a review of the area storm drainage. This will culminate in a pavement rehabilitation strategy recommendation. Following the acceptance of the preliminary design, City staff will approach the City Council to approve a final design agreement with SKS to complete plans and specifications for the desired improvements.
