REQUEST: Public Works Department Requesting Supplemental Appropriation for the
installation of roadway underdrains on Northern Way.
PURPOSE: The purpose of this Board item is to request a supplemental appropriation of$73,080
from the Transportation Improvement Fund balance for the installation of roadway
underdrains on Northern Way and to authorize piggybacking the construction from
Orange County contract #Y2-11 05 - TE .
CONSIDERA TIONS:
This supplemental appropriation is needed to cover unanticipated costs
associated with the maintenance of roads. Due to inordinate amount of rainfall in the
previous year some segments of Northern Way suffered damage to the road base.
The road is subjected to continual fluctuations in the ground water table and, when
high, will wick up through the roadway damaging the base material and causing the
asphalt to buckle. The installation of perforated underdrains will capture the
groundwater and convey it directly to the stormwater system away from the road
base. It will be necessary to install this underdrain in several locations on both sides
of the road. Funds for this project were budgeted in the FY 03/04 budget but with
the daily rainfall the groundwater table does not recede and the road continues to
degrade and must be addressed as soon as possible to avoid major reconstruction.
The locations requiring this installation are on Northern Way from
Benitawood Court east to Mt. Laurel Drive and from Grizzly Court east to Cougar
Court. The total length is approximately 4060 feet at a cost of$18.00 per foot
representing a cost of$73, 080.00. Orange County, Florida currently has open

with full restoration in the Fiscal 03/04 resurfacing program.

Reserves to the Transportation Improvement Infrastructure line code (104-63100).

appropriation of $73,080 to from Transportation Improvement Fund Reserves to the

authorization to piggyback on Orange County Construction Term contract #Y2-
1105-TE for the installation of under drains.
