Authorization
REQUEST: Utility Department is Requesting Supplemental Appropriation from the Utility
Enterprise Fund and Authorization for the Repair of the 8" sewer main
adjacent to 643 Murphy Rd.
PURPOSE: The purpose of this Board item is to request a supplemental appropriation of
$16,412.00 from the Utility Enterprise Fund for emergency sanitary sewer repairs and
subsequent street repairs and authorization for the City Manager to issue a purchase
order for $13,182 to Sunshine Building and Development to perform the sewer main
repaIr.
CONSIDERATIONS:
This supplemental appropriation is needed to cover costs associated with retaining a
contractor for this emergency repair. The Utility Dept. doesn't have the equipment necessary
to make a repair at this depth. Approximately 26' feet of 8" clay sewer main 11 'feet deep
will be replaced with PVC pipe. The Utility Dept. will remove the asphalt and base, supply
traffic control and replace base for paving after sewer main repair and sub base compaction is
complete. The sewer main repair is $13,182.00 which exceeds the City Managers authority.
Asphalt replacement is $3,230.00.
Specifically, 2 joints of pipe have separated allowing water and sand into the system.
This scenario will lead to a total stoppage of the sewer system and or collapse of the roadway
if not addressed in a timely manner. The contractor is ready to perform the repairs when
authorization is given.
Two other repair quotes of$14,500 and $28,500 were received from Walrose and
Gilvin, respectively. Sunshine is currently under contract for the park expansion stormwater
piping improvements.
