Title
A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO ADVERTISE FOR COMPETITIVE BIDS AND TO ENTER INTO A CONTRACT FOR THE INSTALLATION OF NEW CURB INLETS ON CLINTON STREET AT HEINEN’S REAR ENTRANCE.
Brief Description: This project consists of the installation of a new curb inlet at the rear entrance to Heinen’s grocery store to alleviate the opportunity for future flooding.
Body
Legislative History
None.
Purpose & Explanation
In 2024, the loading dock area at Heinen’s grocery store was temporarily flooded due to a nearby water main break. After the water main break was repaired, City staff identified that installing a new storm drain, or curb inlet, near the driveway to the loading dock area would be a benefit to alleviate the opportunity for future flooding to occur in this area.
The new curb inlet installation will be coordinated along with the upcoming main parking lot entrance/exit reconstruction work at the City's parking lot in front of the grocery store. Upon completion of the entrance/exit relocation work, and County sanitary sewer project, the parking lot will be resurfaced. Heinen’s parking lot resurfacing and exit relocation project is currently scheduled to be completed in summer/fall 2026.
Detailed design of the project is being completed with in-house staff. The total project cost of the curb inlet installation, including contingency, will not exceed $30,000.
