A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO  
ADVERTISE FOR BIDS AND TO ENTER INTO A CONTRACT FOR  
THE COLLEGE STREET CULVERT REPLACEMENT PROJECT  
WITH THE LOWEST AND BEST BIDDER; AND DECLARING AN  
EMERGENCY.  
Brief Description: In March, City workers investigated a sink hole on College  
Street. An inspection of the utility infrastructure under the road identified that  
the storm water “box culvert” was deteriorating and starting to fail.  
Consequently, staff temporarily closed College Street until temporary steel  
plates were set to allow for the partial opening of a portion of the roadway.  
Staff evaluated alternative solutions to repair the culvert and identified that full  
removal and replacement of the culvert within the City’s right-of-way is the  
best long-term solution for this repair.
