Background/Discussion
Avenue B from 8th Street to 13th Street is in need of reconstruction. The existing overlaid roadway is in poor condition, with little remaining curb for drainage. There is an existing 24” sanitary sewer constructed in the 1950’s that it is in need of replacement. The existing storm sewer will be reconstructed to provide better drainage to the area.
The Union Pacific Railroad and Canadian National Railroad both have at-grade crossings of Avenue B, within the project limits.
The project will construct a new concrete roadway with new storm and sanitary sewers. The at-grade railroad crossings will be reconstructed, and the sidewalks will be replaced.
Three proposals were received and reviewed. McClure was selected as the most qualified to perform the work for this project. They have a clear understanding of the project, and can assist the City with the railroad coordination. McClure has proposed a team of qualified staff that can successfully complete this challenging project.
This project was included in the FY25 CIP and includes a budget of $1,400,000 in Local Option Sales Tax funds and $600,000 in sewer funds.
