Redevelopment Commission Agenda Item
DATE: December 11, 2018
FROM: Kara Boyles, City Engineer
SUBJECT: Budget Request – Douglas Road Utility Relocation #118-116
Which TIF? (circle one) River West; River East; South Side; Douglas Road; West Washington
PURPOSE OF REQUEST: Funding in the amount of $200,000 for professional engineering services related
to the relocation of the Douglas Road Lift Station, force main, gravity sewer and potential water main
conflicts.
Specifics:
In 2021, St. Joseph County plans to widen a section of Douglas Road that will affect various South Bend
utilities located in, and that serve, the Douglas Road TIF District. Due to the widening of the roadway,
the City will need to relocate a critical (high flow) lift station located near Juday Creek, as well as a 10”
force main under the existing pavement. Potential gravity sewer relocations will also be necessary,
pending conflicts with the proposed improvements. It is anticipated that water main conflicts may also
require redesign.
Based on an initial estimate, we anticipate that the construction of a new lift station and force main will
be approximately $2.2M to $2.5. There are numerous considerations to be mindful of due to the fact
that this is a federal aid project; thus, it is possible that wetlands may also be affected due to the limited
right-of-way in this area.
