Board approves $3,500 MRI contract to widen E3 Basin control structure
Summary
The board approved MRI Construction Proposal #606 for $3,500 to widen the E3 Basin control structure weir to the maximum width, aimed at improving drainage out of the community; staff will provide before-and-after photos and explore adding a manual gate.
The River Ridge CDD approved MRI Construction Proposal #606 to widen the opening on the E3 Basin control structure to improve outflow to the FPL easement.
Cleo Adams presented the MRI proposal and Charlie Krebs explained that the current control structure is slightly shy of the maximum width; MRI will use a concrete saw to widen the weir to the maximum to get more water out of the community. "Mr. Krebs stated the current control structure going out to the Florida Power & Light (FPL) easement is slightly shy of the maximum width and the proposal entails MRI using a concrete saw to widen the weir width to the maximum to get the most water out of the community." On a motion by Kurt Blumenthal and seconded by Bob Schultz, the board approved the $3,500 proposal "with all in favor." Krebs will provide before-and-after photos and investigate installing a manual open/close gate near the control structure.
The scope described is limited to widening the concrete weir; the board discussed whether a manual gate could be added and requested specifications and photographs to document pre- and post-work conditions.
