The North Central Area-wide Stormwater System Improvements Study identified the need for the Woodward, Wildwood, Woodnell Avenues Storm Sewer Improvements Project (610990-100001). This project will mitigate poor drainage within this area.

Original Agreement EL009045 …………….$209,675.01
Modification No. 1 (current)…………...…….$8,581.97
Total $218,256.98
