City hears engineering update: sidewalks nearly done, Well 33 awaiting IEPA permit, Ford River Road sewer bids set
Summary
The engineering report said the street and driveways have been poured, only a north-end sidewalk remains, Well 33 is awaiting an IEPA permit to begin producing water, and the Ford River Road sanitary sewer project has been put out to bid with openings scheduled for the 19th of the month.
City engineer Lauren reported progress on several public-works projects and outlined immediate next steps. "The only thing that they have left to pour is sidewalk on the north end," she said, adding that contractors will return to address a few punch-list items before seeding and final project closeout.
Lauren said the Well 33 project remains pending the Illinois EPA permit; once received, the well could be turned on to produce water for residents. She also noted that revised plans submitted to IDNR required clarification and the team supplied a 3-D rendering to help the agency understand the pad/bridge design.
On the Ford River Road sanitary sewer, Lauren said the project was published for contractors and bids will open on the 19th of the month. Council members complemented contractors working through poor weather to meet school-start deadlines and asked for follow-up when punch-list items are resolved.
No formal approvals were required at this item beyond routine project progress reporting; staff will continue to track the IEPA permit for Well 33 and the bid-opening timeline for the sanitary-sewer work.
