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.
