The project involves construction of a creek bed rehabilitation with protective measures including stone riprap installation, slope protection using soil retention blankets and high-performance turf reinforcement mats, embankment construction with select fill material, and protection of an existing 30-inch gravity sewer line. The work requires compliance with specific engineering standards including embankment compaction to minimum 95% Standard Proctor Density with plasticity index requirements between 15 and 20, installation of 24-inch by 24-inch and 36-inch by 36-inch toe structures, and 4-inch topsoil placement. Product submittals for materials such as the geofabric and turf reinforcement mats require manufacturer approval prior to installation. The sealed bid deadline is April 14, 2026, at 3:00 pm, with submission available electronically or by hand delivery to the City Secretary's Office.

The engineering estimated budget for this project is $114,000.00, with funding sourced through FEMA disaster recovery resources for Public Assistance.
