Project consists of lining 556 LF of 42 inch CMP and 131 LF of 15 inch RCP with CIPP.  Eight existing drainage structures will be removed and replaced and two additional structures will be added. 221 LF of 15″ RCP will be removed and replaced. Chemical grouting joint repair will also be installed at approx. 15 locations throughout the 42″ CMP.

Asset Management performed an inspection of the dual 72-inch CMP beneath N Hoskins Road in May 2024. Several holes with visible soil were observed during the inspection. Severe road settlement was also noted above the culvert. The City intends to replace 105LF of duel 72” CMP with 105LF of 11’x8” RCBC; add (2) Non-standard headwalls; add 120 LF of 54” RCP; remove 21LF 36” RCP; add (2) DCBs; Add (1) CB; replace approx. 253LF of 12” sewer; replace approx. 120LF 8” Sewer;  replace (4) sewer manholes; Add/replace approx. 382LF 2’6” C&G; asphalt replacement

Project initiated due to several holes and corrosion in the existing 16.25’x9.5’ elliptical pipe. Cracks in the headwalls were also observed. The City intends to replace 81LF 16.25’x9.5’ elliptical pipe with 81LF of 14’x9’ RCBC; add (2) Non-standard headwalls; add 213 LF of 24” RCP; replace 56LF of 15” RCP; add (3) CBs; Add (2) JBs; plug and fill approx. 220LF of 18” RCP; Add/replace approx. 600LF 2’6” C&G; channel grading; asphalt replacement.

The storm drainage improvement project is for the area in and around Hill Street.  The construction project boundaries are Tryon Street to the southeast, Trade Street to the northeast, South Cedar Street and West 1st Street to the north, and Palmer Street to the southwest. The project includes storm drainage improvements that reduce house and street flooding or will repair failing infrastructure.

The Shade Valley Pond Repairs project was initiated in order to relieve the City of significant efforts and costs of ongoing pond maintenance.  Proposed improvements to the pond are intended to address nuisance vegetation, increase storage capacity, address geese issues, and enhance the overall aesthetics of the pond.  Goals are to restore pond to “below normal pool” volumes via dredging of forebay and main pool to increase water quality function and remove available nutrients contributing to duckweed and algal blooms.  The entirety of the pond and littoral shelf will be replanted with wetland plantings and trees to enhance aesthetics and decrease attractiveness of pond to geese. Geese preventative measures are proposed to establish plantings.

This project will build bike facilities in several different locations throughout the Elizabeth neighborhood to create safer conditions and improve ease of travel for cyclists and pedestrians, including approximately 2.1 miles of sharrows, modernization of two existing rectangular rapid flashing beacons, replacement of 10 wheelchair ramps, a new pedestrian crossing at Pecan Avenue and Shenandoah Avenue, implementation of new bike detection cameras, a new full traffic signal at Bascom Street and 7th Street, and a curb extension located at the intersection of Pecan Avenue and 8th Street.

February 2026 Update: This project’s scope has been divided into 2 phases and will not go out for public bid; the City plans to use an established on-call contract for both phases because construction of traffic signals is required.

Char-Meck Gov’t Center is identified in the City-wide ADA Transition Plan for Program Implementation. Project scope includes removing physical barriers identified in the ADA Transition Plan in conformance with code as applicable. Project Delivery for Phase 2 is Construction Manager at Risk (CMaR).  Vendors will be encouraged to look for contractor pre-qualification notices from our CMaR, JE Dunn Construction Company in 2026.  Scope includes Plaza Deck, 1st Floor Lobby, Mezz Level, Highrise and the adjacent parking deck.

The purpose and need for this construction project is to improve the storm drainage infrastructure (i.e. pipe systems and culverts) to reduce flooding and to enhance degraded stream reaches to reduce erosion and improve water quality. This project is located near the intersection of Camp Greene Street and Freedom Drive.

The need for this construction project is to improve the storm drainage infrastructure (i.e. pipe systems and culverts) to reduce flooding and to enhance degraded stream reaches to reduce erosion and improve water quality.  This project is under review.  Location and project details will be provided after the review is complete.
