F-3. RESOLUTION FOR WHITE TANKS FLOOD RETARDING STRUCTURE NO. 4 OUTLET FACILITY Adopt Resolution FCD 2010R003 for the White Tanks Flood Retarding Structure No. 4 Outlet Facility (PROJECT [#201]), authorizing the Chief Engineer and General Manager of the Flood Control District of Maricopa County (District) to advertise, select, negotiate, and award contracts for engineering and construction services; negotiate Intergovernmental Agreements; and to acquire rights-of-way. White Tanks Flood Retarding Structure (FRS) No. 4, which is located between Jackrabbit Trail and the Tuthill Road alignment near the Van Buren Street alignment, does not have a facility to convey outlet flows to the Gila River. Such a facility is necessary to complete the flood protection goals for the White Tanks FRS No. 4 watershed, which includes much of the eastern slopes and foothills of the White Tank Mountains. The District has completed a design concept study for this outlet facility. The resulting selected-concept is a storm drain within the right-of-way of Van Buren Street, from the White Tanks FRS #4 to the proposed Loop 303 Outfall Channel near Cotton Lane, for a PROJECT length of approximately 3 miles. This Agenda Item impacts Supervisory District 4. (C-69-10-077-6-00)
