CITY OF CENTERVILLE r to ryiffe MONTHL Y ENGINEER'S REPORT For the July 10, 2013 City Council Meeting Italics = New information. Normal = No change from last report. 1. 2008 Downtown Storm Water Improvements (000616- 08167 -0). A record plan of the project is being produced. A review of the pumping records from last year revealed that we need to have the sprinklers running for a longer duration each morning. Adjustments to the run -times on each sprinkler have been made taking into account the spray range of each individual gun. This will help maximize our potential irrigation volume. Obviously, this year, we have had so much rain, that we have not been able to operate the sprinkler system until recently. 2. 2013 Street and Utility Improvements (193801520). Construction of the water main and services is nearly complete at the time of this report. Prep work for curb and gutter, along with street paving is set for the Week of July e. About three quarters of the homes in the Center Street Project Area have now signed up to have their water service installed with the project. 3. CSAH 21 Reconstruction (193801639). The city and county continue to have good dialogue on various issues including design responsibility, schedule, cost sharing and design elements. A technical advisory panel meeting is scheduled for July 12` At some point in the near future, the city will need to make decisions on what elements of the project they want to have included in the bid: sidewalks, curb and gutter, large storm pipe, etc. 4. Mound Trail Water Main (193801873). After an agreement with the County was reached on cost sharing, the project moved forward, extending water main to the city limits at the end of Mound Trail. Construction is mostly complete. 5. 2014 Street and Utility Improvements (193801941). Preliminary discussions on possible streets to be addressed in 2014 have begun. The city council was shown this proposal as part of the last budget workshop.
