If this project is not awarded for construction at this time, erosion will continue to undermine the existing retaining wall and riprap, drainage issues will continue to occur, and the roadway will continue to deteriorate causing additional pavement cracking and potholes to form creating additional maintenance costs for the City and potential damages to vehicles utilizing the roadway. Field conditions may also change, which will require modifications to the engineering design plans, requiring additional funding and time to address.
