Redevelopment Commission Agenda Item
DATE: 9/20/2019
FROM: Zach Hurst, PE
SUBJECT: Budget Request
Which TIF? (circle one) River West; River East; South Side; Douglas Road; West Washington
PURPOSE OF REQUEST: This request is for $60,000 to augment and finalize a report analyzing the East
Race sewer system serving the areas in between the East Race and the St. Joseph River. The report was
started in 2018 knowing that the existing sewage lift station at the southeast corner of the Colfax bridge
over the River (photos attached) would need to be upgraded in advance of pending developments in the
area (specifically the Commerce Center and the 2nd phase of the Cascades project). This revision will also
explore aesthetic improvements at the lift station to better accommodate a future pedestrian crossing
at the location.
Since the completion of the draft report, the City has obtained more precise usages from both
development projects, requiring re-analysis and update of the original report. Upon completion of the
report, the same consultant will produce Plans and Specifications to be bid out publicly in 2020 for the
rehabilitation of the lift station. Of this budget request, approximately $40,000 will be utilized preparing
these construction documents.
Specifics: Aerial and elevation photos of the existing lift station are attached. Updating of the report
would begin immediately and preparation of Plans and Specifications would take place over the coming
winter. IDEM permits for construction would be concurrently procured to allow for construction during
the summer and fall of 2020.
