Streator council closes out DCEO sewer-lining grant after contractor completes lining work
Summary
Council held the required closeout hearing for a DCEO community development block grant covering sewer lining on Spring and South Vermillion streets; the presenter said the project cost $543,003.73 against a $425,000 grant and that roughly 1,238 feet of 36-inch brick sewer were lined.
The Streator City Council held a public hearing and closed out a community development grant tied to sewer lining and rehabilitation work on Spring Street and South Vermillion Street.
A speaker identified in the record later as Lee Don told the council the city received a $425,000 grant from the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity (DCEO) to fund lining and rehabilitation work. He said the final project cost was $543,003.73, about $2,000 above the bid price, and that the city’s share was $118,330. "We lined 1,238 feet of brick 36 inch hard sewer," he said, and additionally described lining a segment of 15-inch clay sewer.
The presenter supplied construction milestones: the contract was signed on 06/07/2024, work began on 11/11/2024 and concluded on August 9 (year given in the record). He said the DCEO grant required a closeout hearing and invited public comment; none were made.
Council members moved to close the public hearing and recorded roll-call votes of approval. No formal objections or conditions were recorded during the hearing.
The closeout completes the local administrative step required by the grant. The presentation noted this project removed the last online segment of brick sewer requiring open-line replacement within the city and, per the presenter, the lined sewers are expected to remain serviceable for decades.
Next steps: the council closed the record on the hearing; no further council action on the project was announced at the meeting.
