Storm Water Modeling
Over the course of the last several years, Public Works staff has been working to survey and catalog the storm sewer system within the City. One goal of this process was to use that information to analyze the system for performance and to evaluate potential improvements or changes to aid in increased function of the storm sewer system. The first part of the process will more than likely be a small watershed to document the area and develop a model, with potential projects and cost estimates for future planning. Once this initial area is complete, the rest of the City could be evaluated in whole or in parts in a similar manner.
This project could also plan, design and build several small projects identified in the above evaluations or evaluate other problems that arise to improve drainage in areas of Grand Island if a yearly budget would allow. If or when projects are developed, smaller projects could be combined into larger projects for bidding and construction. This could be subject to change.
On February 28, 2023, via Resolution No. 2023-49, City Council approved an agreement with Olsson, inc. of Grand Island, Nebraska in the amount of $89,400.00 for engineering consulting services for Storm Water Modeling.
