City updates sewer rehabilitation and stormwater contracts; bids to be brought back to council
Summary
Staff reported completion figures for Phase 1 sanitary sewer lining (about 2,200 lineal feet), bids opened for Phase 1 storm sewer work with Chagrin Valley to review references, and city noted timeline for Westlawn water-main replacement starting week of May 18 weather permitting.
Department staff told council on May 4 that phase 1 of the city’s sewer rehabilitation program has lined about 2,200 lineal feet of sanitary main and some laterals, a metric they described as a strong early outcome. Bids opened April 24 for the phase‑1 storm-sewer testing contract; staff said they will ask Chagrin Valley to review references and planned to bring legislation to council for May 18 to authorize site work.
Staff also said Terrain Tech is scheduled to begin water-main replacement on Westlawn the week of May 18 (weather permitting) and that contractors will use door flyers to notify affected homeowners. The city discussed the need to coordinate the water-line work with road repairs and noted that Cleveland Water has pulled back some engineering on Glen Park, prompting further review of unique conditions on some streets.
Why it matters: sewer relining and stormwater work reduce inflow and infiltration into sanitary systems, lowering overflow risk and improving system capacity; timely contracting and clear homeowner communication help minimize inconvenience and maintain project schedules.
What’s next: staff will bring legislation for the May 18 meeting to authorize site work for the phase 1 stormwater improvements and continue coordination with Cleveland Water on Glen Park and other water-line complexities.
