FACTS AND FINDINGS:
• A sanitary sewer overflow recently occurred in the proposed project area. After completing an emergency repair and inspecting the pipe, it was determined that the project is more urgent than originally planned.
• The project will rehabilitate approximately 1,050 linear feet of 6-inch diameter concrete pipe and approximately 515 linear feet of 8-inch diameter concrete pipe in the vicinity of Waldo Avenue SE and Wildwind Drive SE as shown in the attached Project Location Map.
• Additional pipeline and access easements are necessary on selected properties along the sewer alignment.
• The total estimated project cost to design and construct the Waldo Avenue SE/Wildwind Drive SE - Pipe Rehabilitation project is $990,000.
• Utility Rate funds have been identified to fund the project.
• There is sufficient funding and expenditure authority in the adopted Wastewater Non-Assessed fund’s Unspecified project category, to fund $150,000 for design in FY 2025. The remaining amount of $840,000 for construction will be programmed in FY 2026.
BACKGROUND:
Every fiscal year unspecified funds are budgeted in each capital improvement category. They are available for unforeseen conditions arising within existing projects or to address new urgent projects that come up during the fiscal year. The FY25 budget for wastewater capital improvements includes $1,477,130 in unspecified funds from wastewater utility rates.
