SUBJECT: Budget Request (East Bank Trail Sinkhole)
Which TIF? (circle one) River West; River East• South Side; Douglas Road; West Washington
During last summer's historic river level, a sinkhole was created along the East Bank Trail, just
south of La Salle. To our best determination, the sinkhole was caused by unknown infrastructure
from the 1880's when this area was a woolen mill.
On April 15th a contract was awarded by the Board of Public Works to address the sinkhole and
if possible, to safely investigate the nature and extent of the infrastructure to determine the best
method of its closure. During this investigation a tunnel approximately 35 feet in length was
discovered, and to properly fill both it and the structure at the bottom of the sinkhole, a change
order in the amount of $9,265 is needed.
Staff requests approval of a budget in the amount of $9,265, to allow this old infrastructure to be
properly infilled and the project closed out.
