BACKGROUND
:
The City of Pueblo is currently working to have the Fountain Creek Levee recertified to maintain
the United States Army Corps of Engineers and FEMA requirements necessary to provide flood
protection to portions of the City. Part of the requirements for the recertification is to replace the
th
corroded pipe through the levee at 4 Street and Erie Avenue. If the corroded pipe is not replaced,
damage to the levee will occur and the levee will not be recertified.
Currently, the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) has a project, STM 0961-013,
th
under construction providing improvements along 4 Street from Midtown Circle Drive to just north
th
of E.13 Street. The City has an opportunity to save costs by utilizing CDOT’s contractor to help
replace the corroded pipe and CDOT will participate with a portion of the installation cost. CDOT
will increase their contractor’s contract to include replacing the storm sewer pipe and pay
approximately $130,000 towards the cost.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS
:
CDOT will be participating with this project by using their contractor and financially contributing to
a portion of the overall cost. Working in Cooperation with CDOT the City will save approximately
$230,000.
Funding for this project shall be transferred from SW0901 in the amount of $ 278,254.51
