ADDITIONAL
INFORMATION:
In
the summer of 2008, there was extensive damage across
On
February 9, 2009, under Roll Call Number 09-230, the City Council authorized
submittal of four project applications under the Infrastructure Assistance
Program. The projects were identified as
those being the most competitive in the grant selection criteria. Important criteria considered were the direct
relationship of the project to the 2008 disaster, threat to health, safety or
welfare, benefit to low and moderate income persons and burden associated to
the same group if local revenue was used to accomplish the project and the
ability to construct the projects quickly.
The four project applications submitted were as follows:
- $2,000,000 for construction of a storm
sewer-lining project in the Livingston area south of the Des Moines
River. This project will install a
cured-in-place liner in the existing storm sewer. The storm sewers were damaged in several
locations within this area during the 2008 flooding and rain events. This project will reduce the incidence
of damage due to future high river levels.
- $1,200,000 for construction of a sanitary
sewer-lining project in the East Highland Hills area. This project will install a cured-in-place
liner in existing sanitary sewers in areas where damage to the sanitary
sewer occurred in the 2008 flood due to extremely high wet weather sewer
flows. This project will prevent
future sanitary sewer collapses and help protect the community health.
- $2,500,000 for the installation of emergency
stand-by power generators in the five storm water pump stations in the
Central Place and Birdland basins.
- $750,000 funding request for the final design
of the Birdland and Central Place levees to be designed by the US Army
Corps of Engineers.
The
design and construction phase services for these proposed projects will be paid
with sanitary and storm water utility fees.
Three of the
four projects submitted were selected for funding, and the City of
Des Moines has received contracts from the IDED for the following:
·
Contract
Number 08-DRI-005 in the amount of $2,500,000 for Five Storm Water Pump
Stations in the Birdland and Central Place Areas,

System Lining,
·
Contract
Number 08-DRI-007 in the amount of $1,200,000 for Lining of the Sanitary Sewers
in the Eastern Portion of the Highland Hills Sanitary Sewer Subsystem.
These
three grants were approved by the City Council on May 18, 2009, under Roll Call
No. 09-832.

lining of the Livingston Avenue Storm Sewer System will be accomplished using
