Mallard Point

The drainage issue that Strafford Woods had back in 2003, seems to have several parallels to the drainage issue at Mallard Point. Here are some points from that situation:

Strafford Woods Drainage Problem
* Problem affected one resident's yard (though a few more were involved in the repair of the problem)
* Two firms involved; Trotter and Engineering Enterprises, Inc.
* The village was to perform the repair work and perform restoration of the area
* Public works helped with research
* Malfunction of a 6" drain tile was part of the problem
* Drain tile not installed at a constant slope
* Break in the pipe
* Incorrect pipe was installed (not perforated)
* Metro Underground solution was used, installing a new sewer line

The Expenditure Approval for the Stafford Woods Storm Water Systems repairs was reported on the October 7, 2003 minutes:
Trustee Johnson moved to reject all quotes received, waive the formal bidding process and authorize staff to work with Metro Underground to repair the drainage system in Strafford Woods with the expenditure not to exceed $53,203.50. Trustee Bohler seconded the motion. There was no discussion and President Michels them called for a roll call vote.
