Consider Project No. SU-2-990(053)057, Storm Sewer Improvement District No. 50 – Wintershow Road/8th Avenue SW
Chad Petersen from KLJ project was began to address street flooding on Wintershow Road in approximately 2014. NDDOT is willing to cost share on the project if it discharges into the I-94 right of way. Public input meeting was held in 2016 with two options. Public input meeting in June 2018 considered four options. Petersen reviewed the four alternates for the project.
The project is scheduled for a November 9, 2018 bid opening. The estimated cost share for Alternate C is $30,000 from NDDOT.
City Auditor Richter reported Storm Sewer Improvement District No. 50 has been added to the financial plans with NDDOT expected to pay half of the $1.0 to $1.2 million project. The local share is estimated to be $375,000 with $185,000 from R&R fund.
Petersen stated construction is programmed for 2019 to utilize federal funding.
Petersen stated the special assessments would have a benefit formula to reduce the cost for those with stormwater management plans.
