CITY COUNCIL MEMORANDUM
| City Council Meeting: | March 18, 2025 |
| Department: | Engineering |
| Subject: | Resolution 25-R-026 – Authorizing an agreement with Freeland Turk Engineering Group, LLC, for design, bid, and construction phase engineering services for the Bell North Drive Sewer Extension Project. (B.James/K.Woodlee/E.Schulze) |
BACKGROUND
Ten commercial properties on the west end of Bell North Drive are served by private grinder pumps that pump wastewater into a public wastewater force main that discharges into a manhole near 17316 Bell North Drive. This project is the construction of a gravity sewer main within Bell North Drive that will flow toward and discharge into a gravity main on Doerr Lane.
Bell North Drive is part of the SPAM 2025 CIP project which calls for the rehabilitation of this and several other streets. The replacement of the existing sewer is planned to be completed prior to the street project to provide sufficient life to both projects.

GOAL
The goal of Resolution 25-R-026 is to authorize an agreement with Freeland Turk Engineering Group to complete the required design services for a proposed 8-inch gravity sewer main to replace the existing grinder pumps and force main along Bell North Drive.
COMMUNITY BENEFIT
The relocation of these lines will provide for a more efficient sewer collection system along this street. This timing will be prior to the street rehabilitation project, which will ensure the full useful life of the pavement section that will be installed.
