To: Mayor and Members of City Council

Recommendation:

THAT the firm of Dillon Consulting Limited BE APPOINTED as Drainage Engineer to prepare a Drainage Report under Section 8 of the Drainage Act for improvements to the 6th Concession Drain.

Executive Summary:

N/A

Background:

The 6th Concession Drain is a north-south drain located approximately 700m east of the Sixth Concession Road and west of Walker Road before crossing Walker Road just south of County Road 42 and continuing east. It ultimately heads east adjacent to Baseline Road towards its outlet at the Little River.

To address ongoing maintenance issues related erosion and sediment control, Administration will undertake improvements that result in a design change to the existing Sixth Concession Drain south of Provincial Road and the Detroit River Tunnel Partnership corridor.

Discussion:

When there is a deviation from the approved design, a Drainage Engineer must be appointed to undertake a Drainage Report as designated in the Drainage Act.
