i P , ` ' I , + Page 2 'I Originally, it was determined that extending a storm water line from the Albany/Fulton area to a Baltimore Avenue outfall located south of Fitzgerald Road would be cost prohibitive and was therefore not enthusiastically pursued. The proposed Fitzgerald Road improvement project contains a significant amount of storm drainage work that outfalls into an existing drainage way on Baltimore Avenue. With the necessity of rebuilding Fitzgerald Road and the storm drainage work that is necessary as part of that project, it is an excellent opportunity to combine the storm drainage work and expand the drainage area served by both projects. This alternative will largely skirt the necessity of acquiring additional easements and will make the storm outfall more legally defensible in terms of adhering more closely to the City's storm drainage master plan. BWC will provide additional design services to incorporate the two storm sewer projects and to design the proposed Fitzgerald Road storm sewer to accept the storm runoff from the Albany / Fulton area and the Fitzgerald/Baltimore Avenue area. The ultimate intent is to begin construction of the proposed storm sewer system in February - March of 2002 and proceed with the proposed Fitzgerald Road improvements in April - May of 2002. POTENTIAL OBJECTION: There are no known objections to this resolution and bid award. INPUT FROM OTHER SOURCES: None STAFF REFERENCE: Matt Newell, City Engineer, at 424-2747 Matt Newell will be in attendance at the City Council meeting to answer any questions of the Council on this item. BUDGET/TIME IMPLICATIONS: The additional funding for this proj ect is for an amount not to exceed $27,100 and is currently budgeted in the City's General Fund. The design work will begin immediately and should be completed within 4 months. attach: 2 cc: John Smith, Assistant City Manager of Public Services Robert M. Dean, BWC Engineers
