Body
Background:
The Southwest Area Neighborhood Redevelopment Plan was adopted by the City Commission in 2002. The objective of the redevelopment plan is to revitalize the City's neighborhoods and commercial districts. Implementation of the plan is having positve impacts on the community (i.e., Fairfield Inn, SW 12th Avenue Alley Improvements, SW 2nd Street beautification, etc.)
The Block 32 Alley is one of the projects recommended in the Southwest Neighborhood Plan. This unimproved alley serves as the only access to some existing homes and vacant platted lots in this area. The project as designed includes the following infrastructure improvements: alley construction, drainage, sanitary sewer service (currently on septic tanks), and an upgrade for potable water service.
Providing an acceptable level of service for drainage collection, potable water distribution and sanitary sewer collection is a top priority for the City. The improvements are also a regulatory requirement necessary to meet current and future service as well as address existing infrastructure issues. The work generally consists of the following: alley construction, approximately 750 LF of sanitary sewer, three manholes and eleven (11) sewer laterals, approximately 570 linear feet of 6 inch water main, twelve (12) water services, 470 linear feet of 15” Storm Sewer Pipe, and two type “C” inlets. This project also includes cleaning and grubbing, sodded swale, asphalt trench repair, 640 LF of concrete valley gutter, and maintenance of traffic.
On December 20, 2015, the City issued Bid 2016-002 for the Block 32 Alley (Project No. 11-009). The City received three responses on January 28, 2015. Prequalification in the category of “Underground Utilities” work was required by the bid documents.
