Phase 1 includes the construction of the outlet to Peltier Lake and phase 2 includes a crossing of the system under I-35E to extend the conveyance system to the east side of the freeway. As part of the approved Watermark Master Development Agreement, the City is obligated to complete phase 1 which provides an outlet for future phases of the Watermark development and eventually the entire NE Drainage Area. On October 22, 2018, the City Council authorized preparation of plans and specifications for the first phase of the NE Drainage Area Improvement Project. Plans have been drafted and the project permits obtained. In March of 2019, the City Council authorized acquisition of property required to complete the project. The acquisition included two property owners, Leibel and Salo/Olsen. The City currently has possession of the required property. The Leibel acquisition is still in the final settlement stage and the Salo/Olsen acquisition is continuing through the commissioner process. The project is funded though the Surface Water Management Fund (SWMF). The SWMF was established in 1992 to fund costs associated with administrative, planning, and trunk stormwater costs associated with the City’s Surface Water Management System. The estimated construction project cost, including a 10% contingency, is $1,210,000.00.
