Site work for a water / sewer project in Bloomington, Illinois. Design plans call for site work for a water / sewer project.

East Street Basin & Associated Sewer - Construction - 51101100-72550, 53103100-72550 Construction of a stormwater drainage basin south of E. Jackson St. and east of East St. and associated sewer system. Upstream sewer work will explore the use of green infrastructure (i.e., bioswales, raingardens, etc.) where possible. Opportunities will be explored to enhance the basin into a park-like setting that could include a walking path with lights, natural stone out cropping, a pavilion or gazebo, park benches, picnic tables, trash cans, and signage. Phase I construction is projected to occur in FY24 and could include basin construction along with immediate downstream/upstream improvements to allow the basin to function properly. Phase 2 construction is projected to occur in FY26 and could include upstream sewer and drainage improvements to mitigate flooding. Phase 3 construction is projected to occur in FY28 and could include the remaining upstream sewer improvements and installation of park-like amenities. Anticipated construction cost of the basin and associated sewer system is $16 million with a more defined number resulting from completion of the hydraulic modeling and design contract. Operating Impact: The City will look to borrow, pay cash and/or pursue grants. As of October 4, 2024, this project is included in the City of Bloomington's FY 2025-2029 Capital Improvement Program and funding for construction is allotted for FY2024-2028 but no firm dates identified.
