SANITARY SEWER IMPROVEMENTS MISCELLANEOUS FLOOD RELATED REPAIRS
Project Description: This project involved the repair of twelve flood-damaged sanitary sewer pipes in Cedar Rapids following the 2008 Flood. Pipes were evaluated and repair locations were determined from review of city-supplied sewer videos.
Two of the repairs required extensive coordination with business owners for determination of the exact location of the sewers underneath the owners' buildings. These two locations also required coordination and interpretation of specialized sewer service survey/internal tracer procedure to determine probable sewer service locations relative to the building structures and to the sewer main repair locations.
In addition to sewer repair, the project included pavement removal, pavement replacement, finish grading, seeding, and other restoration.
In order to expedite the repairs, the small project abbreviated bidding process was used, where possible. Funding for this project was provided by FEMA; therefore, project administration tasks included substantial coordination with FEMA to insure funding eligibility.
Project Cost: $250,000
Date Completed: 2008-2009 Construction
Ellis Boulevard NW Sanitary Sewer Improvements
City of Cedar Rapids , Iowa
Project Description: ANDERSON-BOGERT Engineers & Surveyors provided design of and project utility coordination for a sanitary sewer force main along Ellis Boulevard NW from Ellis Lane to 18th Street . This project was phase 3 of a multi-phase interceptor and force main improvements project downstream from the Morgan Creek lift station. The project consisted of parallel 18" and 24" force mains to serve the Morgan Creek lift station. Multiple lines were selected due to variable flow conditions (current and future), and to provide maintenance ability for very little extra initial cost. Included in this project were parkway improvements, such as islands and curb and gutter, for approximately 2,400 L.F. of Ellis Boulevard . Gravity sanitary sewer and water main were improved as well. The final element of this project was a recreational trail on the riverbank in Ellis Park. A portion of the force main runs under the trail alignment.

McCloud Run Sanitary Sewer Interceptor Study
City of Cedar Rapids , Iowa
Project Description: ANDERSON-BOGERT Engineers & Surveyors is currently completing a study of the McCloud Run Interceptor from 1st Avenue to 29th Street NE to 800 feet north of 42nd Street . The interceptor being studied includes approximately 980 feet of 42", 3120 feet of 36", 5400 feet of 30", 4965 feet of 21", 1600 feet of 18", and 1710 feet of 15" diameter pipe. The study area includes 5300 acres.
The goal of this study is as follows:
- Determine what sections of interceptor are in need of improvement.
- Provide a cost effective solution for providing additional sewer capacity in this drainage basin.
- Identify C.I.P. projects for the improvements that are required.
Preliminary results indicate that the majority of the existing sewer is significantly under capacity for predicted future flow and that a replacement pipe is the most cost effective solution.
