The Arlington Knolls Storm Water Extension at Highland and Maude Project was approved as part of the 2016 budget. Based upon direct observations by Village staff in addition to receiving several Service Requests from residents, there is a need to provide adequate drainage to the public right-of-way on the 1600 block of North Highland Avenue.  The proposed storm sewer will greatly reduce localized street and yard flooding, help reduce the deterioration of the street pavement, and mitigate against structure flooding.

The plan completion was scheduled for late 2016; however, the project was not bid in 2016 due to scheduling conflicts. This project will be included with the Neighborhood Storm Sewer Improvement Phase III and we plan to bid the combined projects in the spring of 2017.  The 2016 budget amount of $400,000 in account 426-5001-571-5025 Project # SW1601 was not spent; therefore the Engineering Department is requesting the Village Board amend the 2017 budget to re-budget the Arlington Knolls Storm Water Extension at Highland and Maude Project ($400,000).

RECOMMENDATION

It is recommended that the Village Board amend the 2017 budget to re-budget the $400,000 Arlington Knolls Storm Water Extension at Highland and Maude Project within the Storm Water Control Fund in account 426-5001-571-5015 SW1601.
