MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Gabriel and Council Members
THROUGH: Paul Ostrander, City Manager
FROM: Scott Curtin, Director of Public Works
DATE: April 26, 2022
SUBJECT: Resolution 2022-28 — Roadway Capital Improvements
The purpose of this memo is to request Council's approval to award a Professional Services
Agreement to Nelson Engineering to provide bid ready construction documents for roadway
improvements along Wildwood Dr., N. Willow St., First Ave., as well as various other smaller
project areas. This will be the first extensive roadway improvements conducted by the City since
2015 when VIP and First St. projects were developed.
Wildwood Dr. is one of the older roadways within the City and as such is in the poorest condition.
This project will provide for a complete resurfacing from the Kenai Spur Highway toward the
entrance of Wildwood Correctional. Work will include paving of driveway approaches up to the
edge of right of way and expands on the clearing work the Streets Department conducted last
year.
The N. Willow St. project will extend from Granite St. down toward the Forestry Service lot located
at 525 N. Willow. This project is comprised of milling and repaving of roadway surface as well as
improvements to drainage.
The First Avenue project is located between N. Spruce and Birch St. and is intended to resolve
several areas of roadway where the bases has subsided. These areas will be removed with new
base, new concrete curb and gutter and new asphalt surface being applied. Other areas will
simply be milled and paved.
The misc. sink hole repairs cover a variety of smaller locations where the roadway has settled.
These areas will be removed with the base material restored and new asphalt surfacing applied.
Approximately a dozen of these locations will be addressed with this work.
It is the department's hope and intention to complete Wildwood Dr. and the misc. repairs late this
summer. N. Willow and First Ave will have a completed project design with the intent of bidding
over the winter months with construction taking place starting May/June 2023.
Council can expect engineer's cost estimates for Construction being provided with the bid ready
documents. If it is determined additional funding may be necessary it will be brought forth with
additional legislation at that time.
Council's support for these projects is respectfully requested
