THE HERRICK PARK DRIVE DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENT  
PROJECT WITH THE LOWEST AND BEST BIDDER.

Drive, within the Woods of the Western Reserve Subdivision, have notified  
the City that during heavy rains, flows from Benjamin Circle drainage system  
bypass the pipe network at the rear of the properties and cause overland

help to reduce flooding, with an estimated project cost of $134,000 including a  
10% contingency. The 2022 Policy for work on private property has been  
reviewed and found to apply to this project.
