Impact Statement
Purpose of Proposed Legislation and Background Information
The Sheridan Trunk Rehabilitation WZ-03 project is part of BES’ Large Scale Sewer Rehabilitation Program. Program goals are to rehabilitate or replace severely deteriorated sewer pipes, manholes, service laterals, and inlet pipes throughout the City’s sewer system and restore service life as economically and efficiently as possible.
Approximately 510 feet of failing sewer infrastructure will be repaired during this project.
Financial and Budgetary Impacts
This project is part of BES’s Large Scale Sewer Rehabilitation Program, which is funded through FY ’22-23. The proposed project estimate has been assigned a high confidence level.
This project will neither generate nor reduce current or future revenue. No new City positions will be created.
Community Impacts and Community Involvement
Environmental Services is designing a project to repair 500 feet of public sewer pipe on Southwest Sheridan Street between Water and Moody avenues. Having provided over 135 years of service, the pipes require repairs to maintain reliable sewer service and protect public health and the environment.
The rehabilitation project includes 510 feet of 66-inch circular monolithically cast-in-place concrete pipe. The project will involve night work and will need a Temporary Street Use Permit, a Street Opening Permit, and an Application and Permit to occupy or perform operations upon a state highway.
The project location of Southwest Sheridan Street is underneath a number of interchanges and overpasses including South Harbor Viaduct, South Harbor Drive overpass, Interstate 405 freeway, and Interstate 5 freeway. The section of the Sheridan Trunk slated for rehabilitation is located between existing maintenance hole ABU808 and diversion CSO node ANS818, which is located within a public utility easement within the Oregon Health and Science University (OHSU) parking lot. The project team is collaborating with OHSU when needing to access the easement.
Notification of neighbors within a 2-block radius has been completed. Mailers were distributed by USPS mail to 4,475 neighbors on April 25, 2023. A GovDelivery email bulletin with the mailer content was sent to 231 recipients on April 25, 2023. In addition, the project website is active, no responses were received.
100% Renewable Goal
This project neither contributes nor takes away from the City’s goal of meeting 100 percent of community-wide energy needs with renewable energy by 2050.
