The previous process resulted in high bids and staff returned to the table 135 to look further. They are proposing that the project be bid again in conjunction with the West Shadow 136 Lake Road project. She noted that this is now a sewer lining project with road and drainage 137 improvements and no water line included. 138 Council Member Rafferty asked if it is still possible to get this project done this year and Ms. Hankee 139 said they are leaving that option open. She also reported on the parking access plans (involving a park 140 in Centerville). She added an update on soil testing. They have communicated with the neighborhood 141 on the possible impact on access, although it should be somewhat minimal since the contractor will 142 attempt to keep the homes accessible. 143 144 Council Member Stoesz asked if there will be additional hydrants installed and Ms. Hankee explained 145 the decision was made to not extend the water main especially since there would be connection charges 146 from Centerville even if there is no use. She explained how water could be added in the future. 147 Council Member Maher moved to approve Resolution No. 18-87 as presented. Council Member Stoesz 148 seconded the motion.
