Box 2806 <br />Fargo, ND 58108-2806 <br /> <br />Dear Chairman Peterson: <br /> <br />Re: 2nd Street Flood Control Storm Water Lift Station Replacement <br />Mapleton, ND <br /> <br />The City of Mapleton is proposing replacement of an existing flood control lift station at 2nd Street and County <br />Road 11 that is a component of the City’s levee system (“the Project”). The City currently owns and maintains a <br />FEMA-accredited levee system that includes 4 lift stations that are responsible for both evacuating interior <br />stormwater runoff during flood events and preventing high river water from backing up into the levee’s <br />protected area. <br /> <br />The City is proceeding with the replacement alternative to address the deficiencies of the existing lift station <br />which will provide enough capacity to handle the peak discharge of its contributing drainage basin. The City <br />originally appeared before the Flood Sales Tax Committee in December of 2022 to request cost share for the <br />project, so we are now returning to request County cost-share for the project. At that time, the Committee was <br />in support of the project. The Committee requested that the project apply for State Water Commission funding <br />and then return to the Flood Sales Tax Committee. It was determined that the project was not eligible for SWC <br />cost share. This project falls under the 50% cost share category, however past projects have been funded at 75% <br />cost share as funds have been available. <br /> <br />The estimated total Project cost is $1,161,087. Here is a summary of the projected cost-share: <br /> <br /> Cass County Flood Risk Reduction (75%) - $870,815 <br /> Local cost-share (25%) - $290,272 <br /> <br />The City respectfully requests the Cass County Flood Sales Tax Committee approve cost-share in the amount of <br />$870,815 for replacement of the existing flood control lift station, which is 75% of the total project cost. <br /> <br />If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me or our City Engineer, Brandon Oye, Moore Engineering, <br />Inc., at 701-282-4692. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />City of Mapleton <br />
