THE

SUMMARY:
This Resolution ratifies and approves award of a construction contract to Parker
Excavating, Inc., for emergency sanitary sewer point repairs at 116 Colorado Ave.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
None
BACKGROUND:
On March 17, 2025, the City of Pueblo Public Works Department reported that while a
boring company was potholing, they found a crack in the sewer main near 116 Colorado
Ave. The City witnessed the crack when they washed the soil around the pipe to show
the severity of the defect, and the pipe fell apart and created a hole in the sewer main.
An emergency repair was performed to patch the hole 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: $ 5,930.99 94%
Surface Improvement Related
Total: $ 408.00 6%
Grand Total: $ 6,338.99 100%
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.
