The work to be done under Contract #21907 consists of the construction of four (4) detention basins with a combined
storage volume of approximately 50-acre-feet, five (5) rain gardens, and approximately 4,000 lineal feet of storm sewers
varying in size from 12-inches to 60-inches in diameter, and appurtenances. The purpose of this project is to reduce
building backups and to alleviate wet weather surcharging and overland flooding of the combined sewer system within the
Baden Cityshed of the Bissell Point watershed. This project is scheduled to be completed in 500 days.
FUNDING/COST SUMMARY:
Budgeted: Capital Improvement Program Budget Year: FY2021, Pg. 82 Amount: $3,520,000 (Partial)
Fund Name: #6660 – Sanitary Replacement Fund
Additional Comments: This is a partial funding request. This supplemental appropriation of $3,150,000 will bring the
total appropriation for this project to $9,150,000 and fully fund the construction of this project. This supplemental
appropriation is $150,000 above the funding presented in the original project Ordinance No. 15392. This additional funding
is due to utility conflicts that have been more than originally anticipated. Although there was significant coordination with
both City Water and Spire during design, there have been more water and gas main conflicts than identified by both utilities
during the design process. Additionally, to prevent dumping in these basins, we have extended fencing and barricades in
the Frederick, Partridge and Tillie basins. This project is expected to be funded by Bond proceeds.
