Staff said construction started after Thanksgiving on the Stevens waterline project: about 2,700 lineal feet of 12-inch ductile-iron main beginning at Sykes Avenue and terminating at Oak Street, with the main section installed up to Cass Street. The project remains active to complete side-street connections and service hookups and is expected to continue for a few more months.

Staff also reported that the 24-inch transmission-main work between Isabel (Isabelle) and Newton Creek reached substantial completion in September. The city delayed final acceptance while a subcontractor completed lining of an intertie near the Salvation Army that crossed under the railroad tracks; staff said the project team used a cured-in-place pipeline liner for that intertie to avoid trenching under the railroad and to rehabilitate a ductile-iron segment previously installed around 1970. Pressure testing was underway at the time of the meeting and staff expected to place the intertie into service within a week.

Commissioners asked about maintaining water service while lining the intertie; staff said the lined section was a short, roughly 50-foot intertie that could be taken offline without interrupting city service.

Staff provided brief updates on other work: the Military Storm project began construction the week of the meeting and is expected to run on a short schedule (about a month); the city plans to solicit bids to repair or replace outdoor tennis courts at Stewart Park; and staff is coordinating submittals with Knife River on the airport Taxiway A extension construction project.

Commissioners also discussed historical storm-drain work and neighborhood flooding, and staff noted ongoing efforts to replace aging water meters as a way to address rising apparent water loss that staff said had increased after earlier reductions.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Roseburg Public Works Commission Meeting February 13, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Roseburg staff updated the Public Works Commission on the Stevens waterline construction, completion milestones on the 24-inch transmission main (including a cured-in-place liner under the railroad), the start of the Military Storm project and upcoming bids for Stewart Park tennis courts and airport taxiway extension.","taxTitle","Roseburg City, Douglas County, Oregon","taxId",54266,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6304683,"Commission urges City Council to accept $2.75 million ODOT Safe Routes to School grant for Douglas Avenue",742,911000,1653000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2455425-3717f6d835542540f28749bdbba6424e&start=911&end=1653","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2455425-3717f6d835542540f28749bdbba6424e/thumbnail_911000.jpg","/articles/6304683/Roseburg-City/Douglas-County/Oregon/Commission-urges-City-Council-to-accept-275-million-ODOT-Safe-Routes-to-School-grant-for-Douglas-Avenue","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6304683-56322c78c603b7575d228a187cf252f5/orig.mp4?Expires=1771196745&Signature=Wc6HE6R~a0uxPTl56lXRF5OIQcyhFQPFcdGVJl8Iu0VvVNr8jCrhL-CeX-iMI7ZBodscKCoYvYXMxCjAlYWMGMZjj3LgXEF~iOVTs~Hy~x70DKpk5Kmt~-qF8q8~JA7X-CMyBuxJqUkKNgo8pYOQvCPM5CgGSL-sNbp57oDFPo6Ljuu5na5gYguh~iQF0AVRhOJHI~HbJy9VXp-L6ltBs3k2HY4FOm4MNoT2eh8UdyHXqq53f52ns4DPOtaczur4pjGrvSns8Rq0kfTquVns~gfT98D1LciEVf4sXBa5yZgSKZlxKkVOL1FXWLMTexShMAP~Q50uJBkB6IngSf2qnQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Roseburg Public Works Commission on Feb. 24, 2025, unanimously recommended the City Council authorize the city manager to execute a $2,750,000 grant agreement with the Oregon Department of Transportation for Safe Routes to School improvements on Douglas Avenue.

Staff told the commission the project would build curb, gutter, sidewalks, bike lanes, utility upgrades, about 80 new ADA-compliant curb ramps and a rapid-flashing beacon at the Eastwood Park crossing to improve safety for students walking from nearby apartment complexes. The project corridor runs roughly from Deer Creek to Patterson Street and includes additional pedestrian improvements on Rifle Range Road between Douglas Avenue and Diamond Lake Boulevard.

Staff reviewed the grant history: Oregon’s House Bill 2017 dedicated funding for a statewide Safe Routes to School program; the city applied unsuccessfully in earlier rounds (2018, 2020, 2022) and narrowly missed a cutline in 2022. For the current funding cycle the project qualified for a 0% local cash match because the city’s population base is under 20,500 and the school’s student body includes more than 40% students from low-income families, staff said.

Staff provided a project cost and funding breakdown. It said the current estimated city portion of the project is $4,606,403, but not all costs are grant-eligible; after excluding non-eligible items the city’s direct share of grant-eligible work is $1,263,819. Staff listed the following cost estimates: $2,750,000 ODOT grant award (Safe Routes to School); $2,720,531 in grant-eligible project costs; $655,000 for roadway widening and resurfacing; $811,000 to replace an aged 6-inch water main with 12-inch ductile iron; and approximately $1,600,000 for Russell Utilities’ sanitary sewer replacement in the project area. The total project estimate given by staff was about $6,206,000.

Identified funding sources include the ODOT grant, amounts programmed in the five-year capital improvement plan under urban renewal, storm and transportation (about $963,614), the water capital improvement fund, and an intergovernmental agreement with Russell Utilities for their portion. Staff said the department has received a draft grant agreement from ODOT and that the city would have five years from the agreement’s effective date to complete the work. A separate Deer Creek bridge replacement project is scheduled to begin summer 2026 and staff said the Safe Routes project would follow it; if the bridge is delayed by one year the city still expects to meet the five-year grant timetable.

The commission moved and seconded a recommendation that the City Council authorize the city manager to execute the grant agreement; the motion passed unanimously.

Staff emphasized that this is a pedestrian-focused grant and not a general road-improvement program. Commission questions addressed the inclusion of noneligible items in the total project cost, coordination with Russell Utilities and whether the city has the matching funds programmed; staff confirmed funds are programmed to cover the city’s share.

If the council accepts the recommendation and the grant agreement is executed, staff will proceed with design and coordinate utility work and construction scheduling under the five-year grant deadline.","Roseburg's Public Works Commission unanimously recommended that the City Council authorize the city manager to execute a $2,750,000 Safe Routes to School grant from the Oregon Department of Transportation to fund sidewalks, bike lanes, curb ramps and a rapid-flashing beacon on Douglas Avenue.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6304686,"Roseburg commission backs Consor North America for five-year water transmission-main engineering contract",817,88000,905000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2455425-3717f6d835542540f28749bdbba6424e&start=88&end=905","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2455425-3717f6d835542540f28749bdbba6424e/thumbnail_88000.jpg","/articles/6304686/Roseburg-City/Douglas-County/Oregon/Roseburg-commission-backs-Consor-North-America-for-five-year-water-transmission-main-engineering-contract","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6304686-8a77bdd976d540dab52859dc9f0ed8c2/orig.mp4?Expires=1771196745&Signature=R9afss6w-6ihfORBUVJpRELxv80xxtbhUF393rnElYba77mQgTabieFwJjwtynKZx2qufMqt8OvIiwAWbmrN8W1pJ6pk9pB0i66~tNCv5r~0sENpfh1G8MOzxPDnNVcgnDTOxcqZrSAmJRhdydtPWjmDaGAPqLzuBQ5XJZ6jQyGhFeLTsDfa~TD0frlsw348iHdObgTPHWeCiJjHbpJayla9KhZ5Xl-1VaEd-CGass-W824Q6KAaDNX6EHqp~AX5evVjTysTvBrczb1Z1K3MK9mOMM2pLKwytT5yqClsZyROtwwMsBXZLN1EjA6wNh~yNWMm9IEb1o~v-XT2dzNRgQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Roseburg Public Works Commission voted unanimously Feb. 24, 2025, to recommend the City Council award a five-year master engineering contract to Consor North America for engineering services on the city’s 24-inch water transmission main replacement program.

The recommendation responds to a qualified-based selection process staff conducted to identify a firm to handle design, bidding and construction management for the multi-phase effort to replace the aging transmission main that runs along Northeast Stevens Street between the treatment plant in Winchester and the reservoir complex on Northeast Bellevue Court. The older transmission main was originally installed in 1934.

Staff said four statements of qualification were received and scored by a three-person public-works review committee. Consor North America received the top score with 95 points; RH2 Engineering Inc. scored 86; Keller and Associates Inc. 75; and ZCS 68. Staff recommended entering a master engineering contract with the highest-ranked proposer. Contract work would be authorized by individual task orders over a five-year term; the contract includes provisions to extend twice for two years each, to a nine-year maximum.

Commissioners were told the adopted fiscal year 2024–25 water fund budget includes $350,000 for design of Phase 4. Staff said fees for individual task orders will be negotiated as work is authorized and that any task order over $100,000 will be presented to the commission and City Council for approval. If the commission’s recommendation is forwarded, staff will present the award to the City Council at its Feb. 24, 2025 meeting.

Commission discussion covered project phasing, cost and water-loss issues. Staff described the transmission-main replacement as “extensive engineering” and said the project costs about $1,000 per linear foot; Phases 4 and 5 together cover roughly 6,600 feet with a construction estimate approaching $7 million. Staff said roughly 10% of construction cost is typical for combined design and construction management; for Phases 4 and 5 that equates to about $650,000 in engineering fees, which informed the city’s decision to budget $350,000 in FY25 to start design.

Commissioners also asked whether the work replaces pipe or rehabilitates it; staff said the project involves replacement and upsizing — the current 20-inch line is being replaced by a 24-inch main and the old pipe will be abandoned. Staff described observed leaks along Northeast Stevens Street that have diminished in areas where pipe has already been replaced and said the city previously reduced apparent water loss from about 25% to under 18% by pursuing visible leaks, though staff noted apparent losses have crept back up and meter replacements are being evaluated.

The commission moved and seconded a recommendation to award the master engineering contract to Consor North America; the vote was unanimous.

The city’s next step is for staff to present the proposed contract award to the City Council for authorization and to negotiate individual task orders if the council approves the award.","The Roseburg Public Works Commission unanimously recommended the City Council award a five-year master engineering contract to Consor North America for design, bidding and construction management of the 24-inch water transmission main replacement program.","actionData","errors"]
