CITY OF SOUTH BEND OFFICE OF THE CLERK She continued, Bendix Drive, we've been talking about this for a number of years now. I looked before I came, it is on the website, the State will open bids for this on September 11th. We are excited about that. You will see a new striping pattern on Bendix. There will be two (2) through lanes with one(1) center lane. We will have some intersection redesign at Nimtz Parkway. You'll see new concrete paving and curbing and new sidewalk that jumps from one(1) side to the other. This will be built in two (2) phases, south and north of Bolen Drive. We'll do this in conjunction with St. Joseph County because they will also be rehabilitating this year the south-bound bridge over the Toll Road at the same time. Another project I will mention a little bit later is the Cleveland Road project. So,that is going to be happening so there will be some significant coordination over in that area next year.The Corby/Ironwood/Rockne intersection improvement,again,the hope was that it would be this year but it's actually looking like March of 2020. This is an INDOT LPA project, so, we have federal funding. This will be an eighty percent (80%) federal, twenty percent (20%) local job. It's been budgeted and I mentioned these, these are not new budget items. They have been budgeted before but are carrying over because they have not begun. There will be some changes in this project. We will be constructing a storm sewer throughout this intersection and we will also be doing new lining and we'll see the intersection improvements, of course which are pedestrian crossing signals and the markings and some other upgrades for ADA accessibility. She went on,Olive Street is really number three(3)of these projects that we've been talking about for a couple of years now. This one(1) again is slated for the spring of 2020. It has to go in 2020. All of these projects have to go because that is our fiscal year with MACOG. So, we have that money available to us until their fiscal year closes,which is June of 2020. So, we will be spending money on these three (3) projects. This project has a little bit of a complication with the railroad. So, there may be a portion of this project that doesn't get let but it's a very small portion. It will have new pavement, curbing, and storm sewer. Again, it is a three (3)-lane configuration going each direction with a center left-turn lane. The Cleveland Road pavement replacement project is a TIF-funded project. We've already asked for that funding from TIF and the estimated cost of that project is a little under $1.7 million. So, that is a concrete pavement replacement near the intersection of Cleveland and Ameritech Drive. It's the portion of the bridge deck from the entrance to the exit of the Bypass. It's very deteriorated. Of course,that is a heavily-traveled truck traffic area. This project is actually going to piggyback on INDOT's project to resurface US-31. It really is a savings to the City, given that we've been able to be synergistic about this approach. We had estimated, prior to this project, out of our pocket alone would have been more like $2.2 million. We are already seeing the savings. That again, will be let as an INDOT project. We've done a Memorandum of Agreement with the State. She continued, The Prairie Avenue water main extension, we talked about this in the past. This is going to be one(1) of the first (1st) water main systems we've done in a few years. We've kind of done this in two (2) phases. Water main was built down towards the Bypass on 23, but now we will be doing the boring under US-31 and then continue along SR-23 in order to loop water main in that area. We have a significant section of high-pressure water main that is not looped. So, that will provide a lot of reliability and redundancy in the area. Some of you are aware, we had a water main break not too long ago on Linden. In this zone and with this pressure, this will help with reliability. This is estimated at $1.8 million. It is partially funded by South Side TIF. I believe $800,000 comes from TIF. Water Capital, half a million dollars, and there will actually be a donation from the Pokagon Band of Potawatomi Indians for this. Moving on to some of the other projects that are Utilities-based, the North Station, you'll see again, you have Riverwest Development TIF for this and Water Capital. North Station is our main water treatment plant of EXCELLENCE ACCOUNTABILITY INNOVATION I INCLUSION EMPOWERMENT 455 County-City Building 227W Jefferson Bvld South Bend,Indiana 46601 p 574.235.9221 (574.235.9173 TTD 574.235.5567 www.southbendin.gov 5
