BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Background: The Baldwin County Highway Department is paving approximately one (1) mile of the existing dirt portion of Kings Landing Road in the Seminole community. A 6-inch East Central Baldwin Water Authority (ECBWA) water main currently conflicts with the proposed improvements and must be relocated. The Intergovernmental Agreement defines the responsibilities of each party regarding the water main relocation.
Under the Intergovernmental Agreement, ECBWA will provide the materials necessary for the water main relocation and a technician to assist with assembly and oversight. The Baldwin County Highway Department will excavate the trench, assist with pipe placement, and backfill the trench. The agreement also includes mutual indemnification between the two agencies. King’s Landing Road is identified in The 25 Most Environmentally Damaging Dirt Roads of Baldwin County, Alabama, a report prepared by the Baldwin County Environmental Advisory Board.
