AGENDA ITEM TITLE:
Approval of final payment to Cook Consulting, LLC, in the amount of $105,795.52, for Smith Ferry Orchard Parkway Culvert, Project No. 2022031, or take other necessary action. (Mike Stewart)
BACKGROUND:
The Orchard Parkway 10'x3' Reinforced Concrete Box (RCB) project, which received official approval as Project 2022031, is now substantially complete. This project aimed to address the deteriorating condition of the existing 3-48" Corrugated Metal Pipes beneath Orchard Parkway, replacing the cross drain to ensure continued functionality and improve the safety of the overall drainage system.
During the course of construction, an unexpected challenge emerged: two (2) 18" corrugated metal stormwater culverts running north and south were discovered beneath two (2) existing homes, specifically, 605 Damson Ct and 606 Elberta Ct. These existing pipes served as primary drainage conduits for the curb inlets of Damson Ct and Elberta Ct. Their condition had significantly deteriorated, posing a potential risk of collapse, which would compromise the structural integrity of the homes and increase the likelihood of flooding in the area.
To address this issue, a strategic plan was developed. Utilizing an existing utility easement, the two (2) corrugated metal pipes were rerouted from their original location to a more secure and resilient position approximately 50 feet to the east. This relocation not only ensured the safety of the existing homes but also contributed to a reduced flood risk, as the existing drainage system would have been severely compromised if the existing pipes were to have failed.
In summary, the project scoped encompassed both the original objective of replacing the failing Orchard Parkway CGMP culverts and the additional necessary actions to address the unexpected discovery of deteriorating pipes beneath the two (2) homes, 605 Damson Ct and 606 Elberta Ct. This project improved the safety and functionality of the drainage system and mitigates potential flood risks in the area, aligning with the broader goals of the City of Muskogee Public Works Department.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve Final Pay to Cook Consulting, LLC in the amount of $105,795.52 for Smith Ferry Orchard Parkway Culvert Project No. 2022031
