Background Information:
This is to request approval of Change In Service to contract 219-113 with LNV, Inc. to add electric design services to the Linda Drive Improvements Project. The city’s electric department recently decided to convert their overhead electric infrastructure to underground in the Blanco Gardens neighborhood. This project will include the conversion to underground within the Linda Drive Project limits i.e. Bugg Lane to River Road (approximately 3,000 ft.). Conversion of electric to underground will increase system reliability and improve the aesthetics of the area.
Overall, the Linda Drive Improvements will:
- Replace 7,000 ft. of sewer main
- Provide storm water improvements as identified in the stormwater master plan
- Provide water system improvements
- Add sidewalk from Sherbarb St. to River Road.
- Provide other street improvements fixing driveways and curb and gutter.
The design is due to complete by Spring of 2021 with Construction scheduled for 2022.
