Specifications include, but are not limited to: bituminous milling, bituminous pavement removal, bituminous paving, curb and gutter replacement, sidewalk replacement, bump out installation, signing, and striping. Utility work will include two storm sewer pipe replacement locations where the existing pipes have failed both to increase capacity and replace the underlying storm sewer as part of a complete reconstruction section. The project will complement the existing and upcoming programmed shared use paths and road construction work. These projects will provide the final alternative transportation connection to the College of St. Scholastica, and complete the city pedestrian network down to Duluth’s Lakewalk. Work will also include reconstruction of two segments of road that have pavement failures due to the existing storm sewer pipes. The locations of the work are shown on the attached project map and will be defined in the field as part of the initial site visit. Some of the storm sewer on Junction Avenue that is located within the 330-foot full reconstruction area was built over railroad ties in 1975 to bridge the poor soils. This project will remove the old timbers and storm sewer in that location, and reinstall new pipes, both there and also where the pavement is rutting on St. Marie Street. The combined reconstruction length of the two areas is expected to be approximately 830 LF.
