Re: Bethel School/Pelican/Blue Jay -- Drainage
Dear Mr. Ratliff:
Prior to the recent heavy rains in May and June, our firm
prepared an Engineering Report analyzing the problem and
recommending proposed improvements to help alleviate some of the
flooding along Bethel School and Pelican Lane. A subsequent
meeting with the homeowners indicated a need/desire to add some
additional storm sewers above what was recommended in the report.
Due to the fact that residential property was flooded and that
public health is at risk, we have taken the liberty to negotiate
a proposal with SYB Construction Co. for the construction of the
storm sewers. This proposal is presented for your consideration.
If the City Council elects to declare an emergency and award the
contract, this will expedite the construction by about 4-6 weeks.
As a matter of record, it must be noted that the construction of
the additional storm sewers will not guarantee the homes will not
be flooded again because some of the floor slab elevations are
below the top of this curb. The property owners must remove
fences and other obstructions to allow for positive overflow
between the houses.
We are available to discuss this matter at your convenience.
Sincerely,
H. Wayne Ginn, P.E.
