Council approves $116,602 survey task for Front Street reconstruction
Summary
Poulsbo council authorized a task order with Somas Inc. for a topographic and utility-locating survey of Front Street at $116,602 to support design for a multi-year reconstruction project.
The Poulsbo City Council approved a task authorization with on-call surveyor Somas Inc. to produce a topographic base map and subsurface utility locating for the Front Street reconstruction planning effort.
Charlie Roberts, the project staff lead, called the survey the first step in design: locating utilities and elevations, mapping laterals and abandoned facilities, and capturing enough data to tie side streets into the design. He said the work is expected this fall and is appropriate in scope for an old-town, topographic survey.
Councilmember questions focused on whether the work includes sidewalks, ADA elevations and subsurface locating. Roberts said the fee of $116,602 covers topographic, utility locating and subsurface investigation and that the city's camera truck will be used to map gravity lines and laterals. The council moved and approved the task authorization and authorized the mayor to sign the task order on behalf of the city.
What happens next: Somas will conduct the survey, public works will coordinate camera-truck mapping and staff will use the results to scope design, outreach and future construction phases.
