� . COUNCIL COMMUNICATION FORM ' Engineering & Infrastructure Memorandum NO. 2003-52 September 8, 2003 TO: Honorable Mayor Osborne and City Council FROM: Steve Garman, City Manager Stephen Swanson, P.E.,Director of Engineering& Infrastructure Matthew C. Newell, P.E., City Engineer� SUBJECT: Shadow Lane Relief Sewer, City Project 2003-20 SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION: An item on the agenda for the September 15, 2003, City Council Meeting is the authorization of an agreement for design services with Bainbridge, Gee, Milanski &Associates, Inc., (BGM) for a fee not to exceed $12,000 to design a relief sewer for the Shadow Lane area sanitary sewer system. Staff recommends that the City Council approve the attached agreement. BACKGROUND: In March 2002, the City Council approved an agreement with BGM to study the sanitary sewer system serving the Shadow Lane area (see the attached drawing). In December 2002, the completed study was presented to the City Council along with recommendations on a course of action that would ultimately restore reliability to the area sanitary sewer system. In June 2003, the City Council authorized a sump pump disconnection program for the Cresthaven Park neighborhood. During this meeting the Council directed City staff to work toward a more direct solution to the over flow problem plaguing the area. The sanitary sewer system in the MacArthur Road / Arbor Drive area services over 500 homes. Over the past 10 years, sanitary sewer backups and overflows have plagued the down stream portion of the sewer which extends down Wolf Road and Shadow Lane to an interceptor maintained by the Sanitary District of Decatur. The periodic overflows have caused sewage to be discharged into private homes and into nearby Steven's Creek.
