COMMISSIONERS’ REPORTS
Water
Brett Laureys provided an update via email to the board:
(Engineering) has approval from Fremont Township to start the design (water main and storm sewer) this spring. (There is) a contract with Fremont to design both the water main and storm sewer.
The tentative schedule is to have design done around April 2019, barring some unforeseen design conditions. FYI – The survey work is already done.
We are targeting September 2019 to do the work. We should have design and get bids…for the water main by early summer and then we can submit actual numbers for the loan, etc. I’m going to guess we would have the bids, etc. in June sometime.
For now, I would say we target after Labor Day to do the main work in 2019. (Engineering) will check in later in March when the design nearly complete.
Overall, all seems positive and (Engineering) stated we should not have a problem with getting the work completed in 2019.
(Engineering) is working with Fremont Township on the Forest Lane water main / drainage / road repair project and that they are in the process of exchanging engineering information. Engineering is tentatively expected to be completed by the end of summer 2019.
