SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION RATIFYING AN EMERGENCY CONSTRUCTION
CONTRACT IN THE AMOUNT OF $205,511.90 WITH PARKER
EXCAVATING, INC., FOR EMERGENCY SANITARY SEWER POINT
REPAIR AT 2721 PINE ST., PROJECT NO. 24-033 (WWAN03) AND
SAME.
SUMMARY:
This Resolution ratifies and approves award of a construction contract to Parker
Excavating, Inc., for emergency sanitary sewer point repairs at 2721 Pine St.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
None
BACKGROUND:
On February 19, 2025, the City of Pueblo Streets Department reported a sinkhole near
2721 Pine St. A television crew was sent out to inspect the main, and they discovered a
collapsed pipe segment in the location of the sinkhole and two large joint offsets: one at
43 feet from the upstream manhole and the other at 316 feet from the downstream
manhole. They also discovered the whole main was in bad condition, having multiple
sags and grease deposits. These defects will further deteriorate the pipe, increase the
chance of collapse and immediate backup in the main. To fix these defects as well as
the sinkhole, an emergency repair was performed to remove and replace the whole
main.
The repair work was performed under the Sanitary Sewer Point Repair multi-year
contract under which two contractors were qualified via competitive bid. An estimate
was prepared, and Parker Excavating was the lowest bidder and accepted the work.
The cost breakdown for the project is as follows:
Sanitary Sewer Replacement-related
Total: $ 80,728.40 39%
Surface Improvement Related
Total: $ 124,783.50 61%
Grand Total: $ 205,511.90 100%
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
Funding for this project came from the sanitary sewer rehabilitation budget funded by
the Sewer User Fund. Funding was available and had been budgeted, appropriated,
and allocated to Project No. 24-033 (WWAN03) Emergency Point Repair.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
Not applicable
STAKEHOLDER PROCESS:
None
