City Oshkosh MEMORANDUM TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council FROM: Steven M. Gohde, Assistant Director of Public Works 5'" - DATE: July 19, 2018 RE: Approve Closure of 91h Street Road (West 911, Avenue) from Linden Oaks Drive to the Proposed Paul's Place BACKGROUND As part of the infrastructure needed to serve Pickart Estates, Phase 1, the sanitary sewer under 91h Street Road (West 9th Avenue) needs to be extended to the west. The developer for this project, K & P Development, LLC, has requested to close both lanes of traffic of 911, Street Road (West 9th Avenue) from Linden Oaks Drive to the proposed Paul's Place for a period of two (2) weeks to complete this work. Their request is attached. A detour route will be required to be posted for the duration of the construction. Advanced warning signs will be placed seven (7) days prior to the closure to warn drivers. ANALYSIS City Ordinance No. 25.23 requires 9th Street Road (West 9th Avenue) to remain open to traffic at all times. The developer cited worker and traveling public safety concerns as the basis for the closure request. Based on the location and depth of the sanitary sewer, construction under traffic will be very difficult and would likely require a temporary roadway be constructed. FISCAL IMPACT There are no fiscal impacts to this ordinance. RECOMMENDATIONS I recommend approval of the request to close 911, Street Road (West 9t1i Avenue) from Linden Oaks Drive to the proposed Paul's Place for a period of two (2) consecutive weeks with the following conditions: • All work, including restoration, must be completed by August 31, 2018. • The developer shall post a detour route, approved by the Department of Public Works, and post warning signs at least seven (7) days prior to the closure.

Gohde, P.E., Asst. Director Public Works/City Engineer, DPW FROM: K & P Developement, LLC — Kevin Jaenke (920-279-0891) RE: Pickart Subdivision Sanitary Sewer Main Extension All, ExCEL ARCHITECTS - ENGINEERS• SURVEYORS To facilitate connection of the proposed Pickart Estates Subdivision sanitary sewer main extension to the existing public main in 91h Street Road, we find it will be necessary to temporarily close both lanes of 91h Street Road. The reasons for this temporary closure are noted below: The existing sanitary manhole to which the proposed main will connect to is located in the center of 91h Street Road approximately 100 feet east of the intersection of 9th Street Road and the proposed Paul's Place; said paved roadway is approximately 21 feet wide. The proposed sanitary main extension is approximately 17 feet below the current 9th Street Road centerline. Due to the size of the equipment needed to complete this construction and the depth of the excavation, the entire roadway will need to be closed. Duration of this phase of the project will be approximately two (2) weeks from initial pavement saw cut through final pavement restoration as noted below: o Day 1; set-up barricades and saw cut pavement. Day 2; begin excavation. Day 3-5; excavation and trench shoring. o Day 6; core existing manhole. o Day 7; install pipe, bedding, seal pipe connections. o Day 8-9; backfill and compaction. o Day 10; roadway restoration with hot -mix asphalt. DNR approval for this sanitary sewer extension was granted on July 6, 2018. Anticipated start date of construction is August 1, 2018. Based on this anticipated schedule, construction will be completed before the start of school. We therefore respectfully request approval from the City of Oshkosh Common Council to allow the temporary closing of both lanes of 9th Street Road to provide adequate area and safe working conditions during this phase of the subdivision development project. Please contact me if you require any additional information. Thank you.
