BACKGROUND:
The City of Naperville experiences frequent flooding and roadway closures at the low point north of Prairie Avenue on Julian Street. It is apparent that existing storm infrastructure is undersized for the tributary watershed. Christopher Burke Engineering, LTD. (CBBEL) was hired to do a study on how to reduce the flooding. They analyzed the existing drainage system, looked at potential storm sewer options and evaluated proposed alternatives. Out of all the proposed alternatives, a 36-inch storm sewer on Julian Street is the only one that provides benefit to the sag on Julian Street. Based on this finding, the next step would be to hire a stormwater consultant to put together Final Engineering Plans that can be used to construct the 36-inch storm sewer in CY2021.
In April 2018, the Transportation, Engineering and Development Department issued RFQ 18-032, Engineering Services for Storm Water Management and Special Management Area projects, to seek and select a shortlist of qualified and experienced consulting engineers to perform storm water management and special management area consulting engineering services. It was the City's intent to select three to four firms to work with on an as-needed basis. The selected consultants may be retained to complete stormwater engineering services for CY 18-19, and 19-20 with three potential option years in CY 20-21, 21-22 and 22-23.
