These alleys are rutted, have quite a few potholes and cracks. CONSTRUCTION – WHY IS IT NEEDED C I T Y O F K A U K A U N A • The Contractor will be installing new storm sewer and catch basins. They will be connecting to existing storm sewer pipes that are connected to storm inlets at the ends of the alley. • This work will take place prior to excavation and stone placement CONSTRUCTION – STORM SEWER C I T Y O F K A U K A U N A • The contractors tentative schedule has them starting the storm sewer replacement, excavation and stone placement on July 28th on the alley. • They will first replace the section of storm sewer. • The contractor will then excavate the alley. Excavations are 1 foot beyond the proposed edge of pavement and dug down 16 inched below the proposed top of the alley. • A geotextile fabric is laid at the bottom of the excavation. Stone will be placed on top of the fabric. • The stone is graded and compacted. • Shortly after the stone is graded and compacted, the paving contractor will pave the alley with asphalt. The alley will have two mats of asphalt – a binder mat and a final mat. CONSTRUCTION – EXCAVATION AND STONE PLACEMENT C I T Y O F K A U K A U N A • Shortly after the stone is graded and compacted, the paving contractor will pave the alley with asphalt. • The alley will have two mats of asphalt – a binder mat, a course grade asphalt, and a surface mat which is a fine grade asphalt. • The contractor will roll and compact the asphalt to provide a hardened surface that can be driven on. • Typically, it takes about 24 hours for the asphalt to fully cool and harden enough to drive on. CONSTRUCTION – ASPHALT PAVING C I T Y O F K A U K A U N A • Shortly after the asphalt paving is done, the contractor installs gravel shouldering on both sides of the new asphalt pavement. This shouldering is typically one foot wide and protects the edge of the asphalt. • After the gravel shouldering is done, the contractor will do the landscape restoration. CONSTRUCTION – SHOULDERING AND LANDSCAPE RESTORATION C I T Y O F K A U K A U N A • RESIDENTIAL ASSESSMENTS – 8.03(2) ASSESSMENTS (h) The cost per foot for such assessments shall be set based on current bid prices and include reasonable engineering fees. – Ordinance changing special assessment for alley paving adopted in 2019. Ordinance now states property owners are responsible for 2/3 of the project costs and the City is responsible for 1/3. 11 ASSESSMENT RATES C I T Y O F K A U K A U N A C I T Y O F K A U K A U N A ASSESSMENT RATES Special Assessment Rates for Asphalt Alley Reconstruction 2026 Asphalt Alley Reconstruction • Alley Between E.
