The project generally consists of constructing new guardrails at selected locations on Bradshaw Drive from a point south of Goodwin Street to Jacob Lane.
When a project has been approved in the budget by the City Council, it moves from the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) list into the active Design phase. The Design phase is an exploratory process where City staff identifies key elements of the project, researches information needed to implement the project, hires an engineering firm to lead the design team and solicits public input.
The design of a project is a very important first step to identify construction elements to promote the timely delivery of the project with as little impact to neighboring properties as possible.
A Project Manager (PM) is assigned to each project on the CIP list. The PM is the point of contact for the public and is responsible for guiding the engineering firm through the design process until a complete set of plans are approved by the City.
As the plans are developed, they go through phases of completion. These phases are known as:
Public input on the design of a project is typically done around the 30%-60% plan phases. A community open house meeting may be held by the City and design engineer to explain the project, answer questions and get input from the public. By this time, enough information is known about the project to answer questions and have a good understanding of the needs of the project.
The project generally consists of constructing new guardrails at selected locations on Bradshaw Drive from a point south of Goodwin Street to Jacob Lane.
The project consists of additions and improvements to the Airport Water Reclamation Facility dewatering operations, to include the addition of one (1) new building, two (2) centrifuges or dewatering units, and one (1) 1M-1.5M gallon solids holding tank which will ensure the City has the capacity and redundancy for centralizing wastewater processing at the AWRF facility.
The City advertised an RSOQ in April, will start reviewing the SOQs in May, and plans to award an engineering contract by summer 2024.

The City’s original Master Area Drainage Study (MADS) was completed in 1999. The new MADS will reflect the significant changes in drainage by accounting for development, newer/better topographic data, and more accurate NOAA Atlas 14 rainfall data. The new flood study will determine the flow magnitudes, flow depth and flow velocities for the 10-, 100- and 500-year flooding events. The study will utilize a new 2-dimensional model to update the hydrology and hydraulics and be considered best available data to be used for all future planning studies, design projects and flood risk assessments.
The revised flood hazard mapping studies will provide residents and business owners more accurate regulatory floodplain limits, which helps to determine the need for flood insurance.
