Project Delays (5 months):
During project construction, a conflict was identified between the proposed storm drain system and a sewer line resulting in the redesign of both the storm drain system and the new sewer bypass system. Additionally, CPS Energy performed gas main and property service adjustments which caused bid item overruns and additional street reconstruction.
