Consideration of Resolution 2014-85 - A Resolution Authorizing Condemnation for the Acquisition of Property for the Spencer Creek at Franklin Road Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation Project (01/13/15 WS)
body
Purpose
The purpose of this memorandum is to provide the Board of Mayor and Aldermen (BOMA) with information to consider Resolution 2014-85 - A Resolution Authorizing Condemnation for the Acquisition of Property for the Spencer Creek at Franklin Road Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation Project
Background
BOMA approved the design contract (COF 2014-0044) for the Spencer Creek at Franklin Road Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation project on March 11, 2014. The project consists of the rehabilitation of the 36-inch sanitary sewer line from Spencer Creek at the CSX Railroad crossing approximately 1,500 linear feet downstream to the existing 36-inch sanitary sewer on the west side of Franklin Road. Staff is ready to move forward with the property acquisition on the project. As always staff will work to settle all property acquisition but in the event that an agreement cannot be reached condemnation may be required.
Financial Impact
The cost for the acquisition of the necessary easement for this project will be based off of the appraised value determined by the appraiser.
Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of Resolution 2014-85 - A Resolution Authorizing Condemnation for the Acquisition of Property for the Spencer Creek at Franklin Road Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation Project. Approval of this Resolution will help staff to maintain the current schedule in the event negotiations falter.
