Chairman Scurlock questioned a change order to add drainage that.should have been anticipated in the original engineering of the road, and asked if there would be an additional cost. Public Works Director Jim Davis felt the engineer probably did not recognize a localized section of poor soil under the roadway. He did not feel that a perforated pipe underdrain is something that the engineer would have anticipated during design. However, the inlet at the Vero Beach Mail probably should have been caught at the time of design. Chairman Scurlock pointed out that we have had some significant problems on this particular project and that the project has not gone very smoothly. Commissioner Bird was concerned about the drainage and the elevation of the Boulevard because we experienced some significant drainage problems after a small hurricane that barely came close to us. He wondered what drainage problems we would encounter if a hurricane passed directly over us, especially in the area of Fairiane Harbor. Director Davis believed that drainage problem along that area of the Boulevard really goes back to when the County allowed 'Vista Gardens to be built without carrying stormwater through that large development. It really isn't the fault of the design 7 BOOK 70 F'',GE •:�42 C E C 151997
