McDonald Avenue (Culvert) Storm Drainage Improvement Project – C ... McDonald Avenue (Culvert) Storm Drainage Improvement Project – CANCELLED
Cancel reason:
“This will be done as part of a design-build project: Dairy Branch Sewer Improvements. I think this will be Phase 3 of that project. The design-build team has already been selected and are currently working through their guaranteed max price (GMP) before they go to Council for approval. We had a couple questions on the GMP for our part that the d-b team is working through. I believe their intent is to go to Council in the next couple months with construction starting in summer/late summer, so probably not until FY23.”
The purpose and need for the construction project is to improve the storm drainage infrastructure (i.e. pipe systems and culverts) to reduce flooding and to enhance degraded stream reaches to reduce erosion and improve water quality.
