Warrenton advances Seafairs Park bank stabilization and Iredell culvert design work
Summary
Commission approved procurement to solicit consultants for Seafairs Park bank stabilization (phase budgeted at $200,000 this year with $350,000 total approved) and authorized a professional services contract with North Coast Civil Design to proceed on the Iredell Culvert replacement phase 2.
The commission voted to release an informal procurement to solicit qualified consultants for the Seafairs Park bank stabilization project. Interim public works director Dale McDowell told the commission the overall budget for stabilization is $350,000 and the city will allocate roughly $200,000 this fiscal year to engineering and initial construction, with additional phases anticipated in the next budget cycle.
On the Iredell Culvert replacement (Iredell Colvert project), the commission approved a professional services contract with North Coast Civil Design to complete phase 2 engineering. McDowell described the project scope as updating original designs and addressing tide‑gate (duckbill) details for improved flow and resilience. Commissioner questions focused on whether the year’s allocation will cover permitting needs and paving restoration; staff said paving restoration in the bank area would be addressed as part of the stabilization work and that a subsequent budget phase may be needed to complete downstream work.
