SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION RATIFYING AN EMERGENCY CONSTRUCTION
CONTRACT AND AMENDMENT NO. 1 IN THE AMOUNT OF $87,765.63
WITH PARKER EXCAVATING, INC., FOR EMERGENCY SANITARY
SEWER POINT REPAIR AT 701 JOLIET AVE., PROJECT NO. 24-033
EXECUTION OF THE SAME
SUMMARY:
This Resolution ratifies and approves award of a construction contract to Parker
Excavating, Inc., for emergency sanitary sewer point repairs at 701 Joliet Ave.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
None
BACKGROUND:
While the Wastewater Department collection crew was performing a routine cleaning of
sewer mains, the cleaning head became stuck near 701 Joliet Ave. A television crew
was sent out to inspect the main, and they discovered a large hole in the pipe invert at
88 feet from the downstream manhole. When they performed a reverse inspection, they
discovered sags and grease deposits, but they could not make it through the line due to
grease deposit obstructing 95% of the cross-sectional area and a break at 206 feet
from the upstream manhole. As soon as the pipe segment with the large hole was
repaired, the whole line was televised. After reviewing the video, the Wastewater
Department discovered a large joint offset and multiple sags ranging from 50 to 100%
in the untelevised pipe segment. An emergency repair was performed to remove the
cleaning head and fix the defective pipe segments to prevent further deterioration of the
pipe and possible blockage of the sewer 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: $ 43,029.36 49%
Surface Improvement Related
Total: $ 44,736.27 51%
Grand Total: $ 87,765.63 100%
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:

STAKEHOLDER PROCESS:
