Authorization
REQUEST: Public Works Department Requesting Authorization to Enter in a Contractual
Agreement for the installation of roadway underdrains on various City streets.
PURPOSE: The purpose of this Board item is to request authorization to enter into a contractual
agreement with, Stage Door II, Inc. for the installation of roadway underdrains on
various streets, at a cost of $113,900 plus a 10% contingency.
CONSIDERA TIONS:
This project by the Public Works Department is essential to the preservation of existing
roadways that due to high groundwater have compromised roadway base. During the record
rainfalls of 2003 and 2004 sections of roadway on South Edgemon Avenue, Trotwood
Boulevard (near Trotwood Park), Glen Eagle Drive and Sheoah Circle suffered damage to the
asphalt due to saturation of the base materials by high ground water. Underdrains installed in
these areas will capture rising groundwater by means of perforated pipe in a trench at the curb
line diverting it to the stormwater system.
Visual inspection during these heavy rainfall periods indicated that water was indeed
seeping up through the asphalt and creating a sponging effect and with vehicle travel separated
the asphalt from the base material. The Public Works Department has identified these areas as
an immediate concern, although other roadways encountered similar effects of above average
rainfall, they have not displayed damage in the same degree. Orange County, Florida currently
has open contract #Y3-1069 with Stage Door II, Inc. for the installation of such underdrain
systems which can be piggybacked. The project will include the installation of 6700 lineal feet
of 6 inch underdrain at a cost of $17.00 per lineal foot.

FUNDING:
This project was budgeted in the current fiscal year from the Transportation
Improvement Fund - Capital Improvements Program, line code 104-65000, Project
30073 Underdrains, ($80,000). Additional Funds are available for the cost ofthis
project from 104-65000 Project 30059, Northern Way Repairs ($100,000). The
Northern Way Repairs Project was completed in FY 03/04 through special appropriation
as repairs could not be delayed until FY 05/06. It is anticipated that the balance of the
funds from Northern Way Repairs will be used towards the Resurfacing Program as the
$140,000 budgeted for resurfacing will not cover anticipated costs due to rising price of
asphaltic products. The anticipated cost for under drains is $113,900 and payable from
the funds listed above. Funds will be expended over the next 90 days.
RECOMMENDA TION:
It is recommended that the City Commission approve authorization to enter into
a contractual agreement with Stage Door II, Inc. for the installation of under drains on
South Edgemon Ave., Trotwood Blvd., Glen Eagle Dr., and Sheoah Circle and grant
authorization to piggyback on Orange County Construction Term contract #Y3-1 069 for
the installation of under drains at a cost of$113,900 plus a 10% contingency.
IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE:
The scope of work will be completed within 90 days of approval.
