F-4. RESOLUTION FOR MARTIN ACRES DRAINAGE IMPROVMENTS Adopt Resolution FCD 2011R003 for the Martin Acres Drainage Improvements, (Project [#344]) authorizing the Chief Engineer and General Manager of the Flood Control District of Maricopa County (District) to advertise, select, negotiate, and award contracts for Project engineering and construction services; negotiate Project Intergovernmental Agreements; acquire Project rights-of-way; and include Project funding in the District’s Five-Year Capital Improvement Program. The District completed the Wittmann Area Drainage Master Plan (ADMP) in 2009, which identified flooding hazards in the Wittmann ADMP study area and recommended solutions, including the Project, to mitigate those hazards. Conceptual plans for the Project include detention/diversion and conveyance facilities, subject to revision during the engineering process. The Project’s conceptual cost estimate is $5.7 million, and project implementation is expected to occur over a 3 to 5 year period. The District anticipates entering into agreements with the City of Surprise for the Project. This Agenda Item impacts Supervisor District 4. (C-69-11-056-6-00)
