Board approves Option 3 for Hunter Bend sewer trench: repair and full-width paving
Summary
Facing trench settlement on Hunter Bend Road, staff presented three repair options and the board approved Option 3 — full trench repair followed by full-width paving — to reduce future failures; staff cited approximately $90,000 remaining in ARPA funds and a Sept. 30 spending timeline.
Engineers told the board that trench settlement near Hunter Bend Road has allowed water to enter the trench, undermining the pavement and that temporary patches keep failing. The engineer presented three options: (1) repair the two worst spots using existing funds, (2) repair all ~135 linear feet of trench (~$189,000 estimate), or (3) repair then pave the full width of the road for a longer-lasting fix. The engineer said "we've got $90,000 left to spend" from ARPA funding and stressed the need to complete work by Sept. 30 if ARPA money is to be used.
An alderman moved to approve Option 3 and the board voted; the transcript records at least two 'Aye' votes and one 'No' vote. One board member said, "I'll make a motion to do option 3 to pull from sewer and water other than the 9,000," and after a second the vote proceeded. Staff said they will coordinate with the contractor and utility crews to align scheduling and payments and noted contractor availability could push some work into October if necessary.
