T Ensley Caro Pond $250 This will cover the cost of the Change Order for conditions found during construction that required a re-design, as well as the cost for the re-design. Items discovered include an abandoned pipe which needed to be removed, additional side drains, additional aggregate base material; and two headwalls that need to be added to correct a pre-existing ditch that traps water upstream along the roadway during heavy rain falls. This pre-existing issue was not captured in the original design. In addition, a 6 inch water line that is in conflict with a proposed 30 inch RCP storm line at Hannah and Rawls Avenues was discovered. The contractor is working with ECUA to locate existing water lines that may have been modified in the Ensley area. It appears that the water lines were installed after the utility coordination was performed during the design. It has been requested that the contractor expose the ECUA lines to see if there are any future conflicts. This increase will also cover the additional cost of the added drainage design at Ensley and Grimsley Streets to reduce flooding at two resident properties during heavy rain events. This design includes adding a 14x23 RCP cross drain with a concrete headwall end treatment on Grimsley Street. This design will require building up 50 feet of road by 6 inches and also some ditch cleaning. An additional 15 inch RCP crossover line will be installed on Ensley Street to maintain flow through Laurel Avenue. This additional work will reduce flooding to the surrounding residents and help maintain drainage flow throughout the ditches in the area.

D Bob White Drainage 5 $55,000 The Bob White Drive Pipe Rehabilitation project includes rehabilitating approximately 887 linear feet of existing corrugated metal pipe and installing new storm inlets to improve drainage in the area. The pipe lies within a County drainage easement located near 527 Bobwhite Court in the Quail Run Subdivision off Nine Mile Road.
