Their bid is approximately 5% below the engineer's estimate of $395,705. This is primarily due to lower than expected costs for the storm drain pipe and appurtenances, ductile iron water pipe and concrete access ramps. The proposed project consists of replacement of the existing on-street drainage conveyance system with the installation of underground storm drain pipes, junction structures, and catch basins. Upon completion of the underground improvements, the street will be resurfaced. It should also be noted that Sycamore Avenue carries large volumes of school related traffic associated with the three schools with direct access to the street. For this reason, the storm drain project has been scheduled for construction during the summer months, when school related traffic is lightest. Knowing that A.G. Currie Middle School, Jeane Thorman Elementary School, and St. Cecilia School would all have some activities during the summer, communication has been on going with representatives of these schools with regards to the work schedule, the nature of the work, and detouring that will be required during construction.
