DISCUSSION (continued)
In analyzing the Short Road location, it was determined that replacing a short
section of the existing ditch with a pipe would not dramatically improve the
drainage characteristics in the area. Because of recent ditch cleaning and shoulder
improvements completed by the Town Maintenance Department within the last year. It
is recommended that this portion of the storm drain project be deleted. The
consultant has advised staff that the Town would realize a reduction in his fees due
to the change in scope.
Staff is currently working to obtain the necessary public utility easements and
right -of -entry permits from the affected residents on Yosemite and Harding Avenue.
The completed documents should be received by the bid award date.
The estimated cost for design and construction of the projects is as follows:
Nicholson Hill Diversion................................. $11,000
Yosemite/Wheeler Storm Drain............................. 41,100
Yosemite/Wheeler Sanitary Sewer.......................... 11,000
Engineer's Estimate:
Consultant Fees..........................................
Project Estimate:

A total of $85,000 has been budgeted and/or appropriated for this project. A more
accurate estimate of the appropriation needed will be presented to Council at time
of award.
