Blueberry Lane experiences street flooding during the wet winter months. The existing storm drainage system collects and conveys the stormwater runoff to an infiltration facility. This project would rehabilitate or replace the system with a new infiltration system designed to today’s stormwater regulations.
The design phase will be initiated in 2019. The City recently and successfully applied for a stormwater grant from the Department of Ecology. The proposed award consists of a $2,633,250 grant and a low interest loan of $877,750 with the intent to fully fund the project. If state legislation approves Ecology’s budget as proposed, the award will be available July 1st, 2019.

Project has been sufficiently designed to apply for SEPA review. Awaiting DOE review of Design Report. Consultant working on 90% design drawings, specifications and estimate.
60% design review completed, markups to be sent to consultant this week. Revised schedule has project being advertised in May 2021.
Designer to have 60% review drawings to City by 11/4/2020. Revised schedule has project being advertised in May 2021.
The City has completed review of the preliminary design drawings and sent comments back to the designer. The current schedule has the project going to bid in July 2021.
The City completed the design consultant selection process in the earlier part of June 2019. The contract was awarded to BHC Consultants in July, who subsequently has begun the design phase. An Archaeological study was required for this project resulting in a suspension of all geotechnical work in Sept. 2019. Geotechnical work was scheduled to resume in March 2020 however the Covid shut down again delayed this work. In May work again resumed so the design work could be completed. This phase will continue throughout the remainder of 2010 and into the first months of 2021. Construction is targeted for the summer of 2021.
