Body
BACKGROUND:
This contract will provide for the dredging of two ponds in the Country Place development. One pond is located south of Lakecrest Court. The pond is approximately 21,800 square feet in surface area and will be excavated to a depth of 6 feet below the existing spillway. The other pond is on Hutton Branch Creek. It is located immediately east of Country Place Drive where it crosses Hutton Branch. This second pond is approximately 27,300 feet in surface area and will be excavated to a depth of 2 feet below the existing spillway.
The project involves the relocation of existing wildlife within the ponds, removal of the silt, disposing of the silt at a landfill and restoring the surrounding area to its existing condition. Tree removal and replacement will be minimal.
The duration of construction is 74 calendar days. Adjacent residents will be notified in writing regarding the construction schedule prior to the start of construction. Pre-construction meetings with the homeowners association and the contractor will be held prior to construction. Additional handouts will be distributed as required during the course of the project.
