The City hired Colliers Engineering to complete a comprehensive hydrologic and hydraulic model analysis of the Sucker Brook sub-watershed. This study will determine peak flow rates during different size storms, evaluate bridges and channel reaches, develop concept level designs and solutions, evaluate potential homes for buyout due to their location and identify grant opportunities to complete projects. Colliers Engineering will provide another update of this flood resiliency engineering study and discuss next steps.
Council will be reviewing the proposed updates to the comprehensive plan and discussing the potential formation and charge of a committee for further review.
In 2024, the City, in partnership with the Watershed Council was awarded a $62,625 New York State Department of State Grant to evaluate the outlet gates at Lagoon Park and the feeder canal. The grant work would also develop preliminary designs for modernizing the gates as well as improving the resiliency of the Canandaigua Lake Outlet and feeder canal gate system. The outlet gates system plays a crucial role in managing lake levels and ensuring consistent outflows to the Water Resource Recovery Facility (WRRF), and reduction of the impact of flooding and droughts. Bids were opened on March 28th for the design with two proposals received. Although both firms provided well-thought-out proposals, based on the on-going professional relationship the City has with Colliers Engineering & Design, staff recommends awarding the contract to Colliers Engineering for $62,500.
In 2024, the City in partnership with the Watershed Council, was awarded a $67,000 New York State Department of State Grant to design and build an ADA-accessible kayak launch at Lagoon Park. The grant requires engineered design of the ADA compliant pathway to the future dock and launch. Bids were opened on Friday 3/28/25 for the design of the pathway and received two proposals. The lowest responsible bidder was Aubertine and Currier Architects, Engineers & Land Surveyors, PLLC. Staff recommends awarding the design of the ADAcompliant pathway to Aubertine and Currier for $15,200 (a grant reimbursable expense).
The 2025 Capital budget included $75,000 to repave the parking lot of Fire Station #1. Bids were opened on March 28th with nine (9) bids received. The lowest bid for the asphalt repaving was from Spallina Materials for $116,640. The two (2) aprons for the apparatus bay entrances are planned to be replaced with concrete by DPW at a cost of $6,500. In order to complete this work a Capital Budget Amendment appropriating an additional $50,000 is necessary.
