Recommendation
Approve the Resolution.
Fiscal Impact
The total construction cost for the Lemoyne Relief Sewer Project is estimated at $2,120,000. The MWRD cost sharing program provides $500,000 towards the costs for construction of this project. The FY2021 Budget includes the remaining $1,620,000 in funds in the Water and Sewer Fund, Public Works - Sewer, Sewer Collection, Capital Improvements account no. 5040-43750-781-570707 needed for the Lemoyne Street Flood Mitigation Project. The Village would pay for the project up front and be reimbursed for MWRD's share.
Background
The Village's Combined Sewer System Master Plan Report identifies a number of larger relief sewer projects to improve the performance of the Village's combined sewer system which will reduce the frequency and severity of sewer backups into basements. Relief sewer projects were scored on a benefit to cost ratio in order to prioritize these large improvements. The proposed sewer project on Lemoyne Street will improve the capacity of the sewers along the adjacent 1100 and 1200 north blocks of Fair Oaks, Elmwood, Rossell, and Edmer Avenues.
