Title
A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO ADVERTISE FOR BIDS AND TO ENTER INTO A CONTRACT FOR THE HERRICK PARK DRIVE DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENT PROJECT WITH THE LOWEST AND BEST BIDDER.
Brief Description: Residents between Benjamin Circle and Herrick Park Drive, within the Woods of the Western Reserve Subdivision, have notified the City that during heavy rains, flows from Benjamin Circle drainage system bypass the pipe network at the rear of the properties and cause overland flooding near their homes. Work along the existing storm sewer system will help to reduce flooding, with an estimated project cost of $134,000 including a 10% contingency. The 2022 Policy for work on private property has been reviewed and found to apply to this project.

Purpose & Explanation
Residents between Benjamin Circle and Herrick Park Drive, within the Woods of the Western Reserve Subdivision, have notified the City that during heavy rains, flows from Benjamin Circle drainage system bypass the pipe network at the rear of the properties and cause overland flooding near their homes (see Exhibit Attached). Consequently, a storm sewer hydraulic study was completed in August, 2023 and identified that the overland flooding can be reduced by modifying the existing pipe network.
Drainage flows between 2191 and 2203 Benjamin Circle will be modified with a larger downstream pipe and headwall to reduce the amount of water bypassing the existing storm pipe network. Additional piping will be added to reduce the flooding in the rear of the properties along with modifications to the drainage channel. These modifications will have no negative impacts to downstream properties.
The 2022 Policy for Work on Private property has been reviewed and found to apply to this project based on the following:
1A. Public Nuisance and Public Benefit
1B. Reduces Flood Risk
1C. The drainage area is greater than 5 acres.
3. Exceeds Residents Capacity to Resolve.
