City to use ARPA funds for Liberty Hills pond-to-stream restoration; $2.38M construction contract proposed
Summary
Staff presented a proposed construction contract with Civil Constructors LLC to convert Liberty Hills Pond back to a stream, replace a culvert and address downstream issues. The project is funded in part by a $1.33M ARPA grant; board consideration was on the Aug. 26 agenda.
City staff presented a proposed contract on Aug. 26 to begin construction on the Liberty Hills Pond Stream Restoration Project, an ARPA‑funded effort to remove the existing pond, replace a culvert and restore streamflow and downstream conditions.
Staff identified Civil Constructors LLC as the recommended contractor and presented a construction contract amount of $2,376,791.10. For construction funding, staff said the city secured approximately $1,333,333.33 in grant funding from the state under the American Rescue Plan Act; staff said they are pursuing additional funding to cover potential overruns.
Staff described the work as converting the pond back to a stream, replacing the culvert and fixing downstream items, and said they expect an expedited schedule because the project must be completed within a 12‑month ARPA timeframe. A pre‑construction meeting was planned as early as the following week, and staff noted Civil Constructors is qualified for the scope. Staff said excavation is complete for this project and the contractor was preparing to schedule work.
No final vote was recorded in the work session summary; staff presented the contract item for board consideration and said they will pursue additional grants if needed to address potential overruns.
