As of August 23, 2024, it is expected that design work will take place in 2027 and construction will begin in 2028. Reroute ~1,500 l.f. of 24" and 48" storm sewer from Traceway Drive to the existing stormwater/irrigation pond on the Nine Springs Golf Course property. The proposed route includes the need
to obtain a ~305' long by ~20' wide permanent limited easement. Design and easement acquisition are anticipated for 2016, with construction in 2017. The project would include partial
dredging at the existing storm pipe at the NW corner of the pond and improvements to the pond release structure. Costs for 2018 to 2020 are included for vegetation management to establish
native vegetation.
2017-2021 CIP Update: Design and easement acquisition are recommended to move from 2016 to 2017 due to staff capacity issues (but not re-budgeted). Construction is recommended to move
from 2017 to 2019 Vegetation Management Costs are recommended to move to 2020 to 2021
2019-2028 CIP Update: Project delayed one year from construction in 2019 to 2020. Added additional design funding for increased cost.
2020-2029 CIP Update: Project delayed three years so that there won't be conflicts with the S. Fish Hatchery Road project and to spread-out capital needs. Also rebudgeted entire project due to
multiple year delay.
2021-2030 CIP Update: Project delayed from 2023/2024 to 2025/2026. Required vegetation management moved to operating section.
2022-2031 CIP Update: Project delayed from 2025/2026 to 2028/2029. Costs increased to account for 3% inflation (from $259,000 to $283,000)
Previously authorized funding: None, all re-budgeted due to lengthy delay in project
2024-2033 CIP Update: Cost increased from $283,000 to $432,000 to reflect revised opinion of probable construction cost. Also accelerated from 2028/2029 to 2027/2028. As of January 26, 2024, this project is included in the City of Fitchburg's FY 2024 2033 CIP and funding is allotted for construction in 2026. *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP). A CIP is a financial schedule for short- and long-range projects which is updated regularly. Information listed in the CIP often evolves based on funding availability and the project details, including timeline and value, are subject to change. The content management team will continue to pursue additional details as they become available.
