Resolution approving the plans and specifications for the South 1^st Street Neighborhood Rehab, Phase X.  Project # PW20-12        

The South 1^st Street neighborhood bounded by Pierce Street on the north, Palmer Avenue on the south, 1^st Street on the west and Franklin Avenue on the east consists of some of the original town subdivision within the city.

Records indicate that the infrastructure in this area dates back prior to the 1950’s and is in need of replacement.  Storm sewers are lacking or undersized, sanitary sewers are leaking and broken and the pavements are in poor condition.  Improvement projects will be phased over several years to replace and upgrade the aged infrastructure.

Phases I thru VIII are complete and included portions of Knepper Street, Damon Street, Hill Street, Stutsman Street, Langstrom Street, Franklin Avenue, Platner Street, Carson Avenue, Grace Street, Kappell Avenue, Charles Street, Garden Street, Bloomer Street, Clinton Street, Voorhis Street, Stahl Avenue and Grace Street.

The Phase IX project included Iowa Avenue, Palmer Avenue, and Grove Street.  This project will be completed in the late spring of 2019.

The next phase is scheduled for construction in 2019 and will continue the reconstruction along Stutsman from Platner Street to just beyond Clinton Street to the dead end and Platner Street from Stutsman Street to South 1^st Street. 

This project is included in the FY20 CIP and includes a budget of $1,000,000 in Sales Tax Funds.

Approval of this resolution.
