Chris Duque, City Manager, introduced Will I.-arrain with Action Civil Engineers tc> report
,on the drainage Study of Nederland Avenue_
Will Larrain thanked (--itY Council, and City Staff for their participation in gathering
information and identifying the locations where rnoslz complaints have been recel\,eci-
He reported the study was conducted in conformance with the City of Nederland
guidelines for drainage studies, Drainage Oistrict -47 catchment and basin areas, and
Hydraulic Design M.:Nnu.,%l guidelines_
The Comprehensive Drainage Study for the project area is Uc>unclecl by Twin City
Highway on the Northeast, Avenue E3 on the Southeast, 17— Street on the Southwest
and Elgin Street an the Northwest_ Existing storm were lines were fc>Uncl to be
InacleCluate in capacity, and have, an insufficient catchment basin / inlet structure_
Undefined outflow structures as a result, excess runoff eventually floods neighboring
properties.
Flooding and drainage problems have been observed at.

Alternative #S' will not increase the size of pipes along Nederland Avenue as it will
mitigate approximately 30cfss of flow burden from existing storm sewer system at
East Nederland 00rainage, System and reduce flooding pr<>tAerns at those areas. An
estimated construction Cost for this improvement is approximately $800,000.00.
Rick Bourque with Schaumburg 8, Polk, Inc. gave a report on the Nederland Avenue
Street Rehabilitation Study- He explained the study is broken into 2 sectic>ns. Section
I is frc>rn Highway 69 to 24— Street and Section 2 is from 2411 !Street to Twin City
Highway. Section I has edge drainage, Concrete pavement with asphalt overlay and
r,nc>cJerat,e business density. Section 2 has curb SL gutter drainage, concrete pavement
with asphalt overly, high business density, and s(:,rne pedestrian accommodation. The
elements considered for the study were: pavement, drainage, driveway

improvements, underground utilities, access management and pedestrian
accommodation.
Pavement alternatives considered were: full replacement, and overlays- concrete
and asphalt.
Full Street Reo|acennentwith Base[)oUon:
Cost ofOption /\ with Lime Treated Subgrade:
Section 1: $2.71 Million
Section 2: $3.22 Million
Cost ofOption Bwith Crushed Concrete Base:
Section 1: $3.15 Million
Section 2: $3.67 Million
Asohalt Overlav Option:
Cost ofOption C: Asphalt Overlay
Section 1: $2.52 Million
Section 2: $2.82 Million
Concrete Overlay: This alternative was eliminated from consideration due to
insufficient geometry for required thickness, no experienced contractors inthis area,
and maintenance requirement.
Mr. Bourque advised there are several issues to consider when deciding on which
alternative to select: expected service life, maintenance costs, and aesthetics. Full
replacement has a ||he expectancy of approximately 20-35 years, and asphalt overlay
has life expectancy of approximately 10 years.
Drainage within this study addressed collection of surface run-off: edge drainage,
curb 8kgutter. The conveyance system is addressed in a separate report from Action
Civil Engineering. The edge drainage |s largely present in Section 1 and generally in
good condition with some minor repairs needed' Curb hkgutter drainage is largely
present inSection 2and functions poorly with significant ponding.
Improvements toCollection:
Edge Drainage Improvements inSection 1:
Repair to damaged swa|eoand inlets asneeded -$O'1DMillion
Curb bkGutter Replacement inSection 2:
Completely remove existing curb &gutter, replace with curb & gutter at
proper elevation and grade (included inpavement coSts),and replace
orrepair inlets asneeded -$O.5OMillion
Driveway improvements maintain a smooth drive to street transition, modify
drainage to direct storm water to proper path, and improve aesthetics and safety
through access management.
Driveway Improvements:
Section 1 Overlay -$O.1OMillion
Section 1 Rap|acernent- $0.56 Million
Section 2Overlay -$O.62 Million
Minutes Continued, April 18, 2016
Underground Utilities included city owned underground utilities: water,
wastewater, and storm; and privately owned underground utilities: natural gas, and
telephone duct bank.
City owned water lines are more than 50 years old and constructed of asbestos cement
and cost iron. Existing wastewater lines include parallel lines and street crossings.
Approximately 1/3rdofthese lines have been previously rehabilitated. Replacement
or rehabilitation of original lines should be considered as they are nearing the end of
the expected lifetime.
Underground Utility Improvements:
Replacement Section 1: $1.21 Million
Replacement Section 2: $1.48 Million
Access management is the control of driveway width, spacing, and proximity to each
other intersecting streets for safety and improved aesthetics along the transportation
corridor. Implementation is limited due to existing private parking conditions.
Access Management Improvements:
Section 1: $0.42 Million
Section 2: $0.07 Million
Pedestrian Sidewalks are predominately on one ykje in Section 2. They are
frequently interrupted by driveways and not compliant with all ADA guidelines.
Pedestrian Improvement:
Section 1: Not Applicable
Section 2: $0.28 Million
Project Cost Summary for Section 1:
New Pavement with lime base - $6.7 Million
New Pavement with concrete base- $7.2 Million
Asphalt Overlay - $5.9 Million
Project Cost Summary for Section 2:
New Pavement with lime base- $0'5 Million
New Pavemmantwithconcnatebase- $9.1 Million
Asphalt Overlay -$8.OMillion
Mr. Bourque explained this will be a slow process due to the amount of businesses and
maintaining their entrances with base material. He said there are several items to
consider for the implementation process: the available budget, phasing to meet the
budget if necessary, prioritizing of the elements, collection of information to confirm
final design and selected options, utility conditions, confirming final drainage approach,
review by contractor for risks and costs including length of time to perform work and
extent ofdisruption during construction.
