FISCAL IMPACT:
Estimated Project cost: $212,000. (100% Flood Control Funds)
BACKGROUND:
DA29G, Line A is located on a private road (Maritime Way) within Contra Costa County Flood Control and Water Conservation District storm drain easements, near Wilbur Avenue, in the unincorporated portion of Antioch. In previous years, sections of damaged pipe have been replaced, as needed. Currently, the roadway is compromised due to two (2) sections of underlying 48-inch plastic pipe that is failing. Both sections of roadway are covered by trench plates to allow access to facilities at the end of the road.
The purpose of this Project is to replace two (2) damaged sections of plastic pipe and restore roadway integrity. The first pipe to be replaced is approximately 1,200 feet north of Wilbur Avenue. The second pipe to be replaced is behind the Sportsman Yacht Club gate, approximately 500 feet north of the first section of pipe. The Project also includes roadway excavation and replacement, dewatering and trench shoring and protection; adjusting utilities; installing construction area signs; providing a staging area; and offsite disposal of all removed material. Appropriate Best Management Practices will be implemented during construction activities.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Delay in approving the project may result in a delay of design, construction, and may jeopardize funding.
