SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION RATIFYING AN EMERGENCY CONSTRUCTION
CONTRACT IN THE AMOUNT OF $17,288.95 WITH PARKER
EXCAVATING, INC., FOR EMERGENCY SANITARY SEWER POINT

F THE

SUMMARY:
This Resolution ratifies and approves award of a construction contract to Parker
Excavating, Inc., for emergency sanitary sewer point repairs at 2550 Gladiola St.
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 2550 Gladiola St. A television crew
was sent out to inspect the main, and they discovered a broken pipe at 312.5 feet from
the downstream manhole, and they could not make it through the line. When they
performed a reverse inspection, they discovered a hole in the pipe invert at 12 feet from
the upstream manhole. An emergency repair was performed to repair the two defects 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 a 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: $ 15,338.95 89%
Surface Improvement Related
Total: $ 1,950.00 11%
Grand Total: $ 17,288.95 100%
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
ALTERNATIVES:

condition.
