Marion contracts $89,900 study to map stormwater bottlenecks south of Route 13
Summary
The Marion City Council approved an $89,900 proposal from Horner Schiffrin to study stormwater drainage from Morningside Drive to Crab Orchard Creek, expanding the scope to locate bottlenecks south of Route 13 and guide future capital repairs.
The Marion City Council on May 22 approved a professional-services contract with Horner Schiffrin to perform a stormwater drainage study covering Morningside Drive through Crab Orchard Creek.
The chair described the study scope as expanded beyond an initial subdivision-related request to identify drainage bottlenecks south of Route 13 and help prioritize repairs. The cost is $89,900 and will be paid from the city's project fund. Council members asked clarifying questions about geographic limits of the study and confirmed the consultant will examine problems south of Route 13.
The motion passed on a roll-call vote. Public Works staff will execute the contract and return to council with study findings and recommended capital work informed by the consultant's report.
The study is intended as a planning step; no construction funding was approved at this meeting.
Next steps: execute contract with Horner Schiffrin and schedule field work this summer to inform capital budgeting.
