Work began on this <br /> project in early August with Sunram Construction conducting demolition of the alleyway and lower <br /> parking lot to allow for utilitity work to be conducted. After exposing the existing utilities it was <br /> determined that the stormwater plan was not feasible due to the large number of existing utilities in <br /> the alleyway resulting in a redesign of the stormwater plan. Sunram's sub-contractor for stormwater <br /> completed the stormwater improvements in mid-September allowing for Sunram to begin shaping <br /> the ground for final grades. <br /> Major tasks completed thus far include stormwater improvements,relocation of the downtown <br /> street lights cabinent,relocation of several small utilities,rough grading of upper parking lot and <br /> plaza area,and installation of concrete curbs. Concrete stairs will be constructed the week of <br /> October 10th followed by grading of the lower terraces and installation of the seat walls. Substaincial <br /> completion is expected in early November with project completion in the spring of 2017. <br /> Pinewood Golf Course <br /> The City is currently taking a request for proposals (RFP) on the Pinewood Golf Course.
