F-5. BIDS AND AWARD FOR MCDOWELL ROAD BASIN AND STORM DRAIN PROJECT Authorize the Flood Control District of Maricopa County (District) to issue an Invitation for Bids for Contract FCD 2006C010, McDowell Road Basin and Storm Drain Project, (#420), and to award the contract to the lowest responsible bidder if the bid is not more than 10% over the engineer’s estimate. The Spook Hill Area Drainage Master Plan (ADMP) was adopted in 2002 by the Board of Directors of the District (Board) and the Mesa City Council as the recommended plan for addressing continued flooding in the watershed. The Board has approved IGAs FCD 2002A013 for the rights-of-way acquisition of the detention basin and FCD 2004A002 for design of the Project. IGA FCD 2006A008 for cost-sharing the construction Project with the City of Mesa is being considered by the Board on this same agenda. The Project includes construction of a detention basin near Sossaman Road and McDowell Road, and a storm drain that runs from the existing detention basin east of Hawes Road, west on McDowell Road to west of Sossaman Road, to an existing channel that directs stormwater into the Spook Hill Flood Retarding Structure. The project is designed for the 100-year level of protection. The project is located in District 2. (C-69-09-022-5-00)
