Project:	40th Street Pump Station Building Upgrade	Project Number:	Not Yet Assigned
Contact:	Christopher Janigo	Latest Update:	12/19/2019
Status:	Project Scoping
Next Task:	Design
Budget:	$30,000
Description:	The current enclosure for the generator is in poor condition, there is minimal space to access the generator. By adding onto the building, the pump station would be similar to others within the City. Lengthen the current block pump station building by approximately 15 to include an enclosed room for the current emergency generator. Building is approximately 14 wide. The 71st pump station would be an example of what the layout would look like.

Project:	Betty Wheeler Park Drainage	Project Number:	2016-026
Contact:	Christopher Janigo	Latest Update:	5/12/2020
Status:	Preliminary Design
Next Task:	Design
Budget:	$37,000
Description:	Betty Wheeler Field has standing water whenever it rain significantly restricting the use of the field since it rains here all the time. The project would include regrading the field and installing some area drains to catch water. Th existing outfield wall is currently failing due to the fill placed over Nye Creek in the past settling from the construction of Nye St. Estimate are from an engineers opinion of cost from SHN Engineering dated March 5, 2018 Project consists of regrading Betty Wheeler Field to improve drainage after periods of significant rainfall. This project will also replace the failing outfield retaining wall with a soil nail wall and improve safety in the dugouts and other areas surrounding the ball fields.

Project:	Big Creek Dam 1 and 2	Project Number:	2011-025
Contact:		Latest Update:	5/12/2020
Status:	The City in conjunction with assistance from Chase Park Grants and HDR Engineering Inc. are working on environmental and design permitting through the Army Corp of Engineers.
Next Task:	The next task is to secure financing to finish design of the Roller Compacted Dam.
Budget:	$5,988,000
Description:	2011-2016 Geologic surveys of both dam concluded that the dams lack structural resiliency to medium scale seismic events. In 2016 a feasibility Study began to evaluate alternatives. the Lower Dam was deemed not economically feasible to save. Rehabilitation or decommissioning will be required by the state upon construction of a new water source. An evaluation of constructing a Rocky Creek Dam was deemed unfeasible due to the distant location of the dam and the long term maintenance cost of a raw water line required to traverse from the north side of Cape Foulweather to Newport. Preserving our original source in the Big Creek Basin was deemed the best course of action. Three alternatives for corrective action within the Big Creek Basin have been evaluated. They are the following: Alternative #1: Raise and Modify Existing Dam. Alternative #2: Construct a new Roller Compacted Dam Alternative #3: Construct New Embankment Dam A Feasibility Study of alternatives to the Dam is in its final stages of analysis. The most cost effective and long term solution to preserving Newports Source is Alternative #2. A roller compacted dam constructed between the two dams would replace the upper dam.

Project:	Ferry Slip Utility Line Under-grounding	Project Number:	2015-017
Contact:	Christopher Janigo	Latest Update:	5/12/2020
Status:	Under Construction
Next Task:	Landscape Restoration Summer 2020
Budget:	$1,790,000
Description:	City is partnering with ODOT to relocate the traffic signal from SE 32nd to SE 35th St, construct 35th St and install sidewalk on both sides of US 101. That work will begin in 2020. This project will underground the utilities along US 101 and SE Ferry Slip Rd in advance of the street and signal improvements. Under-grounding the lines will enhance the user experience and eliminates a potential obstacle in the event of a severe earthquake as SE Ferry Slip Road is a key evacuation route to the Oregon Coast Community College. Project is to be split up over three phases. First phase is to begin Fall 2019 with Ferry Slip, SE 32nd and SE 35th Street undergrounding. Second Phase is planned to be coordinated through ODOT during the signal relocation project along Hwy 101. Final Phase of the project will consists of undergrounding private land owners service connections beginning Fall 2020.

Project:	Golf Course Drive and HWY 101 Water Line Upgrades	Project Number:	2015-035
Contact:		Latest Update:	5/12/2020
Status:	City of Newport Community Development Department is creating an LID structure and process.
Next Task:	The Project is on hold until a LID process is created. Community Development Department is tasked with creating an LID Structure and Process which will be implemented on Golf Course Drive.
Budget:	$720,000
Description:	Replacement of the water line along Megginson and Golf Course Drive as well as the installation of a new waterline on the east side of HWY 101 from NE 36th to NE 52nd. The water line servicing the Megginson and Golf Course Drive area is aging and has had several breaks in the past necessitating its replacement. A Feasibility Study and Preliminary Engineering Report was developed by Civil West Engineering Services. The Study concluded cost estimates for several alternative road and waterline alignments. The cost of these improvements was analyzed by dividing cost of the improvements to be partially supported by a Local Improvement District (LID).
