Rock Creek Channel engineers estimate jumps to about $15 million; staff outlines funding and timing
Summary
Staff told the council the Rock Creek Channel improvement projects engineers estimate has grown to roughly $15 million, described utility-relocation and mitigation challenges, and said staff hopes to bid the project late in the year with a possible foreclosure resolution in 2027 that would restore special-assessment revenue.
Laura told the council the Rock Creek Channel projects engineers estimate has increased from under $10 million to about $15 million over the last 18 months and that staff is working on utility-relocation agreements and stream mitigation credits. "That project has actually increased over the last 18 months, and we're sitting at about a $15,000,000 engineer's estimate," Laura said, and noted staff is exploring cost reductions such as solar lighting that could cut lighting costs by more than 50%.
Staff said they have not yet bid the project and that, based on the current litigation timeline, a foreclosure-resolution in 2027 could return special-assessment revenue to the stormwater program; staff plans to bring a separate, more detailed presentation and options as project planning and negotiations progress.
