On August 2nd the City became aware that a section of brick sewer on Jackson Street had collapsed. The collapsed sewer allowed soil to enter the sewer which resulted in a large void beneath the pavement. Due to the void under the pavement as well as partially collapsed sewer, the repair work was deemed an emergency. H. Linden and Sons was requested to perform the emergency repair work since they have successfully repaired similar brick sewers and at that time they were working on a City project a few blocks away from the collapsed sewer.
Sketches for the emergency repair work were developed by the City's Engineering Division and a price of $30,000.00 was verbally negotiated with H. Linden and Sons. During the repair it became evident that additional work was needed. H. Linden and Sons was instructed to perform the additional work which brought the total cost to $35,000.00. this work was completed on August 4th 2016.
DISCUSSION:
Funding for this work this work is provided for in the 2016 budget within account 510-4063-511-73-14, Water and Sewer Fund.
IMPACT STATEMENT:
This resolution is needed in order to pay for the emergency sewer repair.
