Perry is preparing the next phase of drainage improvements for Sadie Heights, with plans to expand stormwater storage and improve nearby drainage channels. Sealed bids for the city’s Flood Improvement Project Phase 2A are due October 19, 2026, at 11 a.m. Addendum 3, dated October 13, changed the deadline to October 19.
What the planned work includes
Phase 2A calls for excavating and grading part of a regional stormwater pond and improving drainage channels between Stonegate Trail and Rocky Road. The project’s summary places the work in Perry’s Stonebridge subdivision off Highway 341, between lot 18 on Stonegate Trail and lot 75 on Rocky Road.
The city’s documents identify additional flood storage and improved drainage for Sadie Heights and the surrounding area as the project’s intended benefits. Those are the goals of the planned work, rather than a guarantee against future flooding.
How the two phases fit together
The remaining portion of the pond is designated Phase 2B. The documents assign that work separately to the developer of the future Avion Park subdivision.
The plan anticipates the two phases proceeding concurrently, with coordination between the city’s contractor and the developer’s contractor. The bidding documents do not establish that either phase has started.
The next steps to watch
The bid documents provide for a public opening at 1211 Washington Street in Perry after the October 19, 2026, 11 a.m. deadline.
For neighbors following the improvements, the next milestones are the bid outcome, a contract award and a construction schedule. The documents describe work at the bidding stage; they do not establish an awarded contract, project cost, actual start date or calendar completion date.
