WHEREAS, the City's Storm Drainage Master Plan, currently under preparation, defines a number of improvements necessary to the proper functioning of the City's existing storm drainage system; and WHEREAS, during recent rains, it was observed that there was a significant difference in the water surface elevation at each end of the pipelines located in an easement within the railroad right of way behind McPhails, Inc; and WHEREAS, in order to reduce the potential for flooding in this area, it is extremely important that the constriction created by the pipelines be eliminated by removing said pipelines as indicated in the Master Plan; and WHEREAS, because of the concern for flooding of private properties should another storm occur, staff has engaged a contractor to begin removal of said pipelines, necessitating the waiver of the City's formal bid process mandated by Charter provision.
