Waterman Drive design to be funded by utility fee increase; RFP due this week
Summary
After missing grant funding, city staff said Waterman Drive design work will be paid from the $2 increase in the stormwater utility fee (from $8 to $10) and a 60% design RFP is due at the end of the week.
Staff reported Waterman Drive was not selected for external grant funding, so the first use of the increased stormwater utility fee (from $8 to $10) will be to fund 60% design work for that project. "The additional $2 are going directly to drainage improvement projects," a Staff member said, and an RFP for the 60% construction design was described as due at the end of the week.
Committee members discussed potential design‑to‑build sequencing and the likelihood of coupling Waterman with other corridor projects in future fee increases or with borrowing (loans or bond issuance) to reach construction funding. Staff said surveys and hydraulic modeling are next steps before construction estimates can be finalized.
