Public Works Director Kowar explained before the Council is a contract with Concrete Express, Inc., in the amount of $3,569,145.87 and a $400,000.00 staff controlled contingency fund. This contract is with the Urban Drainage and Flood Control District and the City of Lafayette for drainage improvements, which will ultimately perform flood plain mitigation for downtown Louisville and areas along the Lafayette — Louisville Boundary. This is the first phase of the Project, which will build a large channel east of Highway 42 through the open space to the Coal Creek Area. The channel and associated drop structures include trail replacement and three bridges and urban flood control and drainage in the future. The second phase of the project is in the process of working through easements with property owners. The second phase is only Louisville improvements from Highway 42 west into the downtown area.
