well/Bullock Drainage & Pavement Improvements
The following is a status report of the above referenced matter and
a re-cap of what has transpired since June 25, 1991.
- On June 25, 1991, Mike Freestone and Roy Cox, residents
on Bullock Street, appeared before Council and spoke on
behalf of the Homeowners. They addressed the concerns
for drainage, road conditions and police service in the
area. After discussion from Council, staff was asked to
look into what cost would be involved in correcting the
concerns expressed by these residents. (see attached
minutes)
- On August 16, 1991, during the budget workshop, staff
recommended several streets in the city for pavement
improvements. On Howell and Bullock Streets it was
determined that drainage improvements would be necessary
if resurfacing was to be effective.
- On September 24, 1991, Council approved the
recommendation by staff of the pavement and drainage
improvements as part of the operating budget for fiscal
year 1991-92.
- Staff contacted the County the beginning of the fiscal
year and requested cost estimates for drainage work and
asphalt overlays. It was staff's desire to utilize the
County through our inter-local agreement to maximize
budgeted funds.
- In December, 1991, the County advised that it would be
approximately the 1st of February before work could
begin.
- In February, 1992, staff was informed by the County that due
to weather related conditions and commitment to other projects
which were previously scheduled, the work on Howell and
Bullock Streets would have to wait an additional 60-90 days.
Realizing the effect this delay would have on this project,
staff decided to seek alternate sources to perform the
drainage work on Howell and Bullock Streets.
Advertisement will take place February 28, 1992, and bids will
open March 10, 1992, with recommendation to award contract to
City Council March 24, 1992.
The drainage improvements are anticipated to take 14-21 days.
After this period, the County should be through with earlier
commitments and be ready to move on site to perform pavement
improvements.
Staff sent letters to the residents of Howell and Bullock Streets
informing them of the project status. City representatives will be
contacting them on an individual basis during the next two weeks to
discuss this project and how it relates specifically to their
residence.
