Bay Village staff outline about $1.3 million preliminary cost for sewer rehabilitation and catch‑basin repairs
Summary
Committee members were told staff now estimate roughly $1.3 million for sewer main‑line rehabilitation plus earlier catch‑basin work; staff said they will seek council approval to advertise engineering and contractor bids after design is further developed
At the Bay Village Finance Committee meeting on May 5, staff described upcoming sanitary‑sewer rehabilitation work and related catch‑basin repairs and said the preliminary combined cost estimate is about $1.3 million.
"The 1.3 number was the sewer rehabilitation, which was the main lines and portions of the laterals on the catch basis, combination," Jeff said during the discussion, adding that the main‑line sanitary rehab alone is about $1,200,000 and the earlier estimate for catch‑basin work had been roughly $500,000 (original budget split noted as $450,000 sewer and $50,000 stormwater). Staff cautioned that designs are not finished and the figure is preliminary.
Why it matters: the committee discussed funding and the mechanics to deliver the work. Staff said the projects are expected to be bid after the engineering/design phase is advanced and that council approval will be sought to advertise and accept bids. Staff described a mechanism in place to fund the work but emphasized final costs will depend on completed design.
Committee members asked staff to include sewer projects more clearly in the capital‑project reports so council can see project-level funding that sits in separate sewer funds. Staff said they would present a revised project report that better ties projects to their funds.
The committee did not take a formal vote on contracting or funding at the meeting; staff said they planned to seek council authorization to proceed with engineering costs and to move both projects to the contractor‑bid stage once design work allows clearer cost caps.
