City manager: road bids due April 15; Brookside Drive culvert to receive full state funding
Summary
The city manager reported that road program bids are due April 15 and that New York State has accepted the city’s Brookside Drive culvert project with 100% funding of nearly $1.5 million; final agreements and design work will follow.
City Manager (name not specified) reported to the Auburn City Council on April 10 that bids for this year’s road program close April 15 and that staff will bring an update at the May 1 council meeting once bids and the final New York State budget amounts are known.
The manager said the city received notice from New York State that the Brookside Drive culvert replacement project has been accepted for funding. He said the award is for 100% funding and described the amount as nearly $1,500,000; staff will return with a resolution to accept the terms and proceed with final design and engineering. The manager said construction is likely to follow design work in a later timeline.
Why it matters: A fully funded culvert project will advance a capital infrastructure repair without drawing local capital dollars, but the city still must accept terms and complete design and procurement before construction starts.
Details - Road program: Bids for the city road program are due April 15; engineering will present a bid update on May 1. The manager noted state budget timing will determine exact available state funds. - Brookside Drive culvert: The manager said the state notification includes full funding at nearly $1,500,000 and staff expect to bring an acceptance resolution to council; next steps are final design and engineering work.
Next steps: Staff will present bid results and a road‑program update on May 1 and will return with a resolution to accept the state funding and terms for the Brookside Drive culvert project when the agreement is ready.
