RE:	Bid No. B1447 - Project No. PW1422 – Mississippi Storm Sewer June 14, 2014 Agenda Item - Set Bid Date

Please include the following item on the City Commission agenda for consideration at the June 17, 2014 meeting:

Project Description

Currently there is a limited amount of existing storm sewer infrastructure south of 9th Street between Indiana and Mississippi Streets.  Due to topography, as well as recent and future construction on Mount Oread, it has been deemed necessary to extend the existing storm sewer south along Mississippi Street.  This storm sewer extension will provide a path for storm water runoff and help to prevent future street flooding.  Please refer to the attached project map for clarification. This work has been coordinated with the University of Kansas Engineering and Design office.

Project Funding

The storm sewer pipe (materials only) is to be funded from the Stormwater Utility Fund.  The cost of the entire project is estimated to total approximately $65,000.  The construction of the new storm sewer will be performed by the city stormwater crew.

Action

Set a bid date of June 24, 2014 for Bid No. B1447 - Project No. PW1422 - Storm sewer pipe for Mississippi Street from 10th to 11th Streets.
