SUMMARY:
This Resolution ratifies and approves the award of a construction contract in the
amount of $108,252.60 to Russ Grading and Excavating LLC, under contract No. 25-
012 for an emergency storm sewer point repair on E. 5th Street and Joplin Avenue and

PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
On 3/24/2025, City Council passed Resolution #15934, which approved the award of
the 2025 -2027 Emergency Storm Sewer Point Repair Contract to multiple contractors
which were qualified via competitive bid.
BACKGROUND:
Stormwater Utility was notified of a sinkhole on E. 5th Street and Joplin Avenue. A
CCTV inspection revealed that some storm pipes had significant damage where the
sinkhole occurred. A visual inspection revealed that some inlets needed to be replaced
as well. An emergency point repair was performed to repair the stormwater
infrastructure. During construction, we identified the storm sewer downstream of this
intersection was constructed with an adverse slope, sloped in the wrong direction,
resulting in water ponding in the system and not draining correctly. At that time, we
Docusign Envelope ID: 4812E3BA-6CFF-881C-83E7-7F90AA806F2C
made the decision to replace that section of sewer as well, resulting in a large increase
to the scope and the change order.
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 2025-2027
Emergency Storm Sewer Point Repair Resolution #15934 through which contractors
were qualified via competitive bid.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
Funding in the amount of $268,890.62 will be paid from the Stormwater Utility budget
Project Account SWAN03, for Point Repairs and Pipe Cleaning.
