The purpose of this discussion is to inform the Council and Public of the overall status of the City’s Capital Project program managed by the Engineering Services Division and to present the 2021 second quarter feature capital project, the 2nd Street SE Preservation project (Project No. CP2003). This Project will reconstruct the pavement on 2nd Street SE between A Street SE and Auburn Way South utilizing Full Depth Reclamation. Full Depth Reclamation is a specialized paving technique that includes pulverizing and blending the pavement into the existing subgrade, adding cement as a stabilizer to the blended material and then paving the top with hot mix asphalt. The project will also replace approximately 450 feet of sanitary sewer main, construct new curb ramps, replace damaged sections of sidewalk and curb and gutter, install new LED street lighting, and upgrade drainage infrastructure as needed. Construction of this project is anticipated to start in June 2021 and be complete in May 2022.

The Capital Project Group of Engineering Services is currently managing 38 projects, valued at approximately $63 million in total project costs.
