Title
Creekside Subdivision - South Drainage Improvements Engineering - Proposal
History
As part of the original flood study conducted by Christopher B. Burke Engineering, Ltd. (CBBEL) of Rosemont, Illinois, the Creekside Subdivision was one of several locations identified as needing improvements to the existing drainage system. Residents within the area just north of 143rd Street on Creek Crossing Drive have experienced extensive street and backyard flooding within this low area during even only moderate rainfalls. The large drainage area, a lack of overland flow routes and the inability of the existing storm sewer to convey the runoff contribute to the problem.
To implement relief for this problem area, CBBEL has provided a proposal to develop engineering plans and bid specifications for the required work. This work will include the replacement of existing storm sewer pipes servicing the area and the establishment of an overland flow route to convey runoff. The total cost for this engineering work is $14,850.
On April 16, 2012, this item was reviewed and approved by the Public Works and Engineering Committee and referred to the Board for approval.
