Project Description
![Cross Section of Alley](/sites/default/files/styles/large/public/2024-05/typical_cross_section_alley_with_permeable_pavement.png?itok=bcyt-t_G)
The Clifford Avenue, Fulton Street and Manning Street (CFM) Storm Sewer Improvements Project will provide flooding mitigation to townhouses along the 3000 block of Fulton Street and Manning Street. The alley bound between the two streets will be re-built to channelize surface flow and improve drainage. Inlets and underground storage will be installed to capture and attenuate stormwater runoff. Utility impacts will be identified and resolved during the design phase.

Planning
Planning Overview
During the planning phase, the project team characterized the types of impacts experienced in the community and determined goals for the project. Based on project goals, a feasible solution was scoped and a rough order of magnitude cost estimate was developed based on conceptual drawings. These materials were used to secured a federal grant to support the work.
Sponsor Program
This project is part of the Flood Action Alexandria program. In response to more frequent, intense climate-change-induced storm events, the City of Alexandria launched Flood Action Alexandria, a multipronged program to help address flooding issues in our community.
Design
Design Update
The Clifford Avenue, Fulton Street and Manning Street Storm Sewer Project is currently negotiating design procurement with an on-call contractor. A revised proposal with updated contract rates is anticipated to be received in early May. In tandem with contract negotiations, the City coordinated and completed in-house site survey of the project area to reduce schedule impact and design costs.
Design Overview
During the design phase, the project team will perform in-field data collection and develop technical construction documents to deliver the proposed project scope. These construction documents will be incorporated into a public solicitation for construction services to build the project.
Design Procurement
The City will procure engineering design services for the proposed work through an existing on-call services contract. These services include topographic survey, utility locating services, cost estimating services and engineering design services.
More information about the City's procurement processes and policies can be found on the Finance Department's Purchasing webpage.
Community Engagement
The City intends to hold a public kickoff meeting for the project following successful negotiation of design services. An additional public meeting will be held at the mid-point of design to provide an update on the design scope, schedule and progress.
