BACKGROUND:

On August 3, 2017, the Board accepted a drainage easement from Mr. and Mrs. Bush for the Mayfair-Algiers Drainage Improvement Project. The previously accepted drainage easement is located along the south property line of 4551 Bridgedale Road. That easement was to allow the County to install a new pipe to replace the deteriorating pipe that was failing.

Upon further evaluation, there were utility conflicts in the area where the new pipe was to be placed and the existing pipe was too damaged to be filled properly. Additionally, the existing pipe also led to holes in the property owner's yard, causing safety concerns. The pipe must now be removed and replaced with a reinforced concrete pipe. The new donated drainage easement, that runs diagonally across the southeast corner of the property, will be used to access and replace the failed stormwater pipe. The construction area will then be restored and stabilized.This pipe ties into the existing system at a manhole in the easement between Algiers Street and Waltham Street. It is a continuation of Phase I and II pipe replacement of the Mayfair-Algiers Drainage Improvement Project.

BUDGETARY IMPACT:

Funds for the project are available in Fund 352 LOST III, Account Code 210107/56301, Project #16EN3542 "Mayfair/Algiers".
