Meadowridge Drive Storm Drainage Improvement Project
|
|
The Meadowridge Drive Storm Drainage Project is currently in the planning phase and the consultant has completed the Existing Conditions Analysis, City Design Standard Analysis, and is currently working on Alternatives. The consultant is utilizing the public meeting and planning analysis information to present design alternatives which will improve the storm drainage infrastructure within the neighborhood.
If you were unable to attend the public meeting in November, Storm Water Services has a standard questionnaire for property owners to provide their input and concerns. The input that we have received to date documents existing storm water related problems in the area. These problems include road flooding, house flooding, and channel erosion. Proposed design alternatives my includes pipe and culvert replacements as well as channel cleaning and stabilization. |

Planning Phase (Start May 2011- End TBD)
During the planning phase, several improvement alternatives were developed and evaluated to determine the best solution. A recommended alternative was selected and used as a guide for the design.
Design Phase (TBD)
The engineering consultant is working closely with Storm Water Services to develop the design. Personnel from City of Charlotte, the engineering consultant, land surveyors, wetland specialists, and geotechnical engineers will be working in the area collecting information necessary to complete the design.
Permitting Phase (TBD)
No permits are currently required on this project.
Property Easement/Acquisition (TBD)
The City works with citizens and organizations to acquire Storm Drainage Easements (SDEs), Access Easements (AEs) and Temporary Construction Easements (TCEs). The City requests that SDEs, AEs, and TCEs be donated to provide the City access and certain rights to the affected properties to make the recommended improvements and provide future maintenance. The essential easements have been donated, but the City is still working with the property owners related to design specific issues.
Bid Phase (TBD)
During the bid phase, the final plans will be circulated to qualified contractors for a competitive bidding process. By state law, the lowest responsible bidder is awarded the construction contract. The bid phase of a project typically lasts 4 to 5 months.
Construction Phase (TBD)
Throughout construction, efforts will be made to minimize disruption to nearby property owners. Construction of proposed improvements will be supervised by a City Inspector. Notifications of key construction dates and will be mailed to residents prior to construction. Construction involves earth work, concrete work, and other activities typically associated with a construction project.
