Ellingson Drainage has not worked in the City before. We have completed a
reference check and their work in other cities has been found acceptable.
The project is tentatively scheduled to start on December 10, 2008 with a
completion date of April 30, 2009. Staff will notify the property owners in the
area prior to the start of construction with a project time line.
This project was budgeted for 2008 in the CIP Project W-039. Funding for the
project is proposed from the water utility fund. The single family residents along
Audubon are not planned to be assessed for the project at this time, however they
will be required to pay a lateral and hook up charge when they connect to City
water service.
