Authority moves forward with bids for 38th Place stormwater project; phases 1–2 estimated at $5.3M
Summary
The board approved advertising plans and accepting bids for phases 1 and 2 of the 38th Place/Fillmore stormwater improvement project; engineers estimated phases 1 and 2 cost about $5.3 million including a 15% contingency, with bids scheduled to open in May.
Staff (S2) summarized plans and specifications for the 38th Place/Fillmore stormwater improvement project and recommended moving phases 1 and 2 to bid. Staff said DNR permits are in place pending right-of-entry easements and that the project will be solicited with a pre-bid conference on April 30, bids opening May 7 and award scheduled for the May 12 meeting.
An engineer (S7) reported an updated estimate for phases 1 and 2 of about $5.3 million including a 15% contingency. Board members discussed whether to bid phases concurrently with the County Line culvert project to capture economies of scale; staff said the County Line project would have a shorter bid window and could be awarded earlier.
The board approved advertising and issuing bid documents for phases 1 and 2 by motion and voice vote. Staff will publish ads and proceed with pre-bid coordination and easement acquisition. The board did not commit final construction funding beyond the project estimate; award will occur after bid opening and formal board action.
