Proposed Change order (Amendment) No.2 provides for various plan revisions and adjustments of the proposed storm drain improvements due to an unknown 42” storm drain that has been determined to extend under the private duplexes north of Dallas street and west under a private grocery store to drain the general area in the net amount of $333,965.05
Staff working closely with the KSA Engineers, the Consulting firm on this project have field determined the exact location of this main as stated above. A design has been provided to re-route this storm drain along existing alleys and east along Dallas Street to connect to the existing storm drain system within dedicated street right-of-ways and easements. Once relocated, the existing storm drain under the duplexes and the grocery store will be filled in and abandoned in place.
