[Funding: Fund 352, LOST III, Account Code 210107/56301, Project #16EN3542 - "Mayfair/Algiers"]

BACKGROUND:

The current drainage pipe has deteriorated in multiple locations and with the 2017 rainfall, this pipe has started to collapse, causing failures along Massachusetts Avenue where the current drainage system is installed. The pipe that has failed will be back-filled with a concrete-type mixture and will be abandoned in place. The new pipe will run along Massachusetts Avenue and needs to angle slightly across the NE corner of the property due to utility conflicts. This new drainage will tie into existing flow and will correct the multiple failures this area has experienced.

BUDGETARY IMPACT:

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

LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS/SIGN-OFF:

The Drainage Easement was approved as to form and legal sufficiency by the County Attorney's office.

PERSONNEL:

All work associated with this request is being done in-house and no additional staff is required.

POLICY/REQUIREMENT FOR BOARD ACTION:

These actions are consistent with the provisions of Section 46-139 of the County Code of Ordinances.

IMPLEMENTATION/COORDINATION:

Upon Board approval, staff will proceed in compliance with Section 46-139 of the County Code of Ordinances.
