The project generally consists of constructing new guardrails at selected locations on Bradshaw Drive from a point south of Goodwin Street to Jacob Lane.
When a project has been approved in the budget by the City Council, it moves from the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) list into the active Design phase. The Design phase is an exploratory process where City staff identifies key elements of the project, researches information needed to implement the project, hires an engineering firm to lead the design team and solicits public input.
The design of a project is a very important first step to identify construction elements to promote the timely delivery of the project with as little impact to neighboring properties as possible.
A Project Manager (PM) is assigned to each project on the CIP list. The PM is the point of contact for the public and is responsible for guiding the engineering firm through the design process until a complete set of plans are approved by the City.
As the plans are developed, they go through phases of completion. These phases are known as:
Public input on the design of a project is typically done around the 30%-60% plan phases. A community open house meeting may be held by the City and design engineer to explain the project, answer questions and get input from the public. By this time, enough information is known about the project to answer questions and have a good understanding of the needs of the project.
The project generally consists of constructing new guardrails at selected locations on Bradshaw Drive from a point south of Goodwin Street to Jacob Lane.
The City’s original Master Area Drainage Study (MADS) was completed in 1999. The new MADS will reflect the significant changes in drainage by accounting for development, newer/better topographic data, and more accurate NOAA Atlas 14 rainfall data. The new flood study will determine the flow magnitudes, flow depth and flow velocities for the 10-, 100- and 500-year flooding events. The study will utilize a new 2-dimensional model to update the hydrology and hydraulics and be considered best available data to be used for all future planning studies, design projects and flood risk assessments.
The revised flood hazard mapping studies will provide residents and business owners more accurate regulatory floodplain limits, which helps to determine the need for flood insurance.
The project generally consists of reconstructing Double D Drive with new asphalt pavement and substructure. The project also includes reducing the roadway width to allow for construction of vertical curbs to improve drainage without negatively impacting existing driveways and replacing defective sidewalks and upgrading existing drainage features.
The project includes the installation of new water mains and pressure reducing stations to provide much needed redundancy and additional flow capacity for water quality and fire flow in the Idylwild area. The area is west of Thumb Butte Road, and covers Zones 27 and 28.
The project consists of replacement of undersized, deteriorating water mains on Country Club Circle, Brush Street, Ash Street, and Cherry Drive.

This project generally includes the replacement of sidewalks along N. Washington Avenue, from E. Willis to E. Sheldon Street, as well as Pine Street. The replacement of driveways as needed will be determined in the field at the direction of the City of Prescott. The mature trees between the sidewalk and the curb have contributed to the deterioration of the
sidewalk and other critical infrastructure. Seventeen trees will be removed, and five existing stumps will be ground below dirt grade.
The project generally includes the removal and/or installation of roadway pavement, sidewalk, ramps, driveways, curb and gutter, storm drain structures, dumpster pads, and pavement markings along Stetson Road, and intersecting roadways.
The proposed Lift Station will be located at the southwest corner of SR89 and Prescott Lakes Parkway. A new force main will connect the Lift Station to the existing gravity sewer system in Prescott Lakes Parkway. Construction of this lift station will include a reimbursement district for all parcels that will benefit from its construction.
The project consists of the reconstruction of the Prescott Library’s southern parking lot to comply with ADA requirements. Access to the library will remain open during construction, there will be no parking in the southern lot during construction.
The Prescott Fire Department is planning infrastructure improvements to the live fire training facility at 2898 Sundog Ranch Road. The recently completed Master Plan and Report outlines phased improvements to the fire fighting training facilities, that includes, but is not limited to:
The project will be completed in phases as the Fire Department’s budget allows.
The project generally consists of relocating the scales and fee booth configuration from it’s current location to Sundog Ranch Road to relieve the traffic congestion problems within the Transfer Station, and along Sundog Ranch Rd. The project includes reconstructing the severely distressed asphalt pavement on Sundog Ranch Rd. and widening the roadway to improve ingress and egress to and from the Solid Waste facility to the benefit of users, Transfer Station staff, and Fire and Police personnel accessing their training facility at the end of Sundog Ranch Rd.
The City has acquired the steel building components of a 125’ X 125’ (15,625sf) building. The building components are stored at the old wastewater treatment plant on Sundog Ranch Road, and at other City owned facilities. This project includes retrofitting the building components to suit the future needs of the Streets Division. The work includes design and construction of the building to include office spaces, restrooms, ready room, locker rooms, equipment bays, storage areas, conference room, records storage room, dormitory, fitness center, mezzanine, and so on within the building.
The Sundog Sewer Main Phase C3 includes the design of a Downtown Regional Lift Station and approximately 25,000 linear feet of 18” force main beginning at the proposed Downtown Regional Lift Station and continuing northward in 6th Street, westward in Merritt Avenue and Montezuma Street, northward in Ruth Street and Demerse Avenue, eastward in Prescott Heights Drive, northward in Campbell Avenue, eastward in Rosser Street and northward in Highway 89 to its terminus at an existing force main stub at the Highway 89 and Prescott Lakes Parkway intersection. A portion of the force main (2,020 linear feet) has been previously designed with the Sundog Trunk Main Phase B project and will be updated and incorporated into the Phase C3 project. The design also includes the design of approximately 2,500 linear feet of 24” sewer trunk and 8” branch mains from the eastern end of Sonora Drive, along the edge of Granite Creek, under the La Guardia Bridge (Montezuma Street), through Granite Creek Park to its terminus at the new 6th Street Regional Lift Station site.
The project will consist of the replacement of an old, outdated lift station, which is located behind properties along Highland Terrace (within the Wildwood Estates Subdivision). Due to its location, the lift station is very difficult to access and maintain. The city is planning to abandon the lift station and reroute sewer lines to a proposed new gravity sewer main extended from Wildwood Drive.
The project will install a new gravity sewer system to replace the existing force main where the City currently pumps wastewater along Willow Lake Rd. to the Prescott Lakes Regional Lift Station. The project will also allow the City to remove the Willow Lake Regional Lift Station. The elimination of the lift station will help to reduce the annual maintenance cost of operating the City’s sanitary sewer system.
The project generally consists of roadway improvements and repairs on Willow Creek Road from Pioneer Parkway to Commerce Drive.
This project will upgrade an old inefficient sewer lift station by adding new wet wells and pumps to provide redundant pumping capabilities. The existing wet wells will be kept as an overflow containment area as well as an existing building on the site. New generator backup will be installed as well as an Odor Control Unit. Site work will include removal of the old treatment plant and equipment, installation of new fencing and maintenance road improvements.
This project is located on Hornet Drive in Yavapai Hills. The project generally consists of drainage improvements along Hornet Drive, possible trench drains, catch basins and drainage channels. This project is in the early stages of design.
The Zone 24 & Zone 27 Water Main Piping Replacement Project will consist of various water distribution main improvements within water system, for Pressure Zone 24 and Zone 27 in the western part of Prescott. The project will include the installation of a new 12-inch water main from the Thumb Butte Drive and Sherwood Drive intersection to Meadowbrook and Forest Meadows, and a new 12-inch water main from the Zone 24 Reservoir at Lookout Lane to the new Zone 27 Reservoir.
The first phase of the project completed the installation of a 12″ water main using Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) between Meadowbrook Rd and Skyline Dr. This method allowed the City to install the new water main without impacting the existing water main that feeds the Zone 27 tank on Forest Hills Rd as well as significantly decrease the impacts to the residents who use Forest Hills as the sole access to their homes.
