Title
Old Orland Corrugated Metal Pipe (CMP) Storm Sewer Replacement - RFP 24-069
History
Starting in 2001, the Village started an investigation into the flood prone areas of Old Orland. Christopher Burke Engineering identified seventeen (17) different issues that needed to be addressed. Some of these issues were installing new larger pipe, replacing failing pipe, diverting storm water away from Old Orland, and purchasing two (2) flood-prone properties. The Old Orland Corrugated Metal Pipe (CMP) Storm Sewer Replacement project is the last of the seventeen (17) projects identified in 2001.
The first part of the project is the replacement of the failing forty-eight inch (48”) pipe under St. Michael Parish parking lot. The initial investigation showed that sinkholes had formed over the (CMP) that allows storm water to flow out of Old Orland under the parking lot of St. Michaels Parish. Further investigation revealed the CMP is failing. There are large holes in the pipe, and the bottom of the pipe is missing, which is causing water to erode the ground on the outside of the pipe, contributing to the sinkholes. These holes had been temporary repaired by attaching old street signs to the pipe that have now since failed. This (CMP) pipe will be replaced with concrete pipe that is expected to last over 100 years.
The second part of the project is installing a new eight-inch (8”) storm sewer on Irving Avenue from the backyards of flood prone residences on the southern end of the block to the existing storm sewer that is on the northern end of the block that would alleviate flooding for most of the east side of Irving Avenue. This pipe material would also consist of concrete pipe and plastic pipe. Both of which have a life expectancy of over 100 years.
