SUBJECT: Rain Tree Corners Culvert Replacement
__________________________________________________________________
BACKGROUND
On August 19, 2025, the Board approved the Rain Tree Corners request to establish a special assessment to fund the replacement of the culvert on the sole access road for their 16-home subdivision, located at the intersection of 12th Street and 54th Avenue.
ANALYSIS
The draft special assessment is being prepared, and must first be considered at an initial hearing, then publicly noticed for 30 days, and finally considered in a public hearing. Based on those requirements, staff does not anticipate the assessment to be ready for final approval any earlier than December 9, 2025.
Recent rain events have led to significant deterioration of the culvert, and staff would like Board permission to execute emergency replacement now, prior to the implementation of the special assessment.
The Board awarded Bid 2025058 for As Needed Culvert Replacement and Repair to three contractors. Based on the bid pricing, staff anticipates the total cost of the replacement of the Rain Tree culvert not to exceed $250,000, with detailed quotes and availability to execute quickly requested from all three contractors.
BUDGETARY IMPACT
Funding, in the amount of $250,000, will be made available via budget amendment in the Optional Sales Tax/Road & Bridge/Rain Tree Corners Culvert Replacement account, number 31521441-066510-25050. A Special Assessment of the Rain Tree Corners Homeowners Association will be taken to the Board in the following months to reimburse the Optional Sales Tax Fund for their portion of the project.
