Assistant City Engineer Robert Schiesl is recommending City Council approve the
plans, specifications, form of contract and estimated cost of $131,501.54 for the
Tanglewood Court Storm Sewer Extension Project through the adoption of the attached
resolution.
The City has identified a failing stormwater sewer outfall that has caused significant
erosion along City property located behind residences along Thornwood Court,
Thornwood Drive, and Tanglewood Court. The increased erosion along the outfall has
created potential hazard that requires the outfall to be reconstructed and stabilized. This
project will include the extension of storm sewer, additional stormwater intakes, and the
construction of an outfall stabilization structure that would restore the eroded areas.
I concur with the recommendation and respectfully request Mayor and City Council
approval.
