PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
On 8/14/2023 City Council passed Resolution #15335, which approved the award of the
2023-2026 Storm Sewer Point Repair Contract to multiple contractors which were
qualified via competitive bid.
BACKGROUND:
Stormwater Utility was notified of a small sinkhole at the intersection of Berkley Avenue
and Small Avenue. A visual inspection of the inlet and pipe was done. A Closed Caption
Television (CCTV) inspection could not be conducted because the pipe was collapsed,
and the camera would not fit inside the stormwater pipe. The visual inspection of the inlet
and pipe on the southwest corner revealed damage, and they would both need to be
replaced. An emergency point repair was required to repair the inlet and pipe at the
intersection.
The contract with the unit prices for the estimated work performed by Russ Grading &
Excavating LLC. can be found attached. This work was performed under the 2023-2026
Storm Sewer Point Repair Resolution #15335 which contractors were qualified via
competitive bid.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
Funding in the amount of $47,801.60 will be paid from the Stormwater Utility budget.
Project Account SWAN03, for Point Repairs and Pipe Cleaning.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
