Summary Explanation and Background:
On July 21, 2022, the Utility Services Department was notified of a wastewater spill on North Wickham Road and & Business Center Blvd. It was discovered that a sinkhole developed next to a sanitary manhole and caused a blockage in our 18-inch gravity sewer. Per our investigation, we determined that large holes were discovered inside two manholes due to corrosion. In order to stop the wastewater spill from continuing while the repairs were being conducted we requested the assistance from Meeks Plumbing, Inc. to provide additional vacuum trucks. These trucks would vacuum the continuing flow of wastewater and transport it to an adjacent lift station. An Emergency Purchase Order was initiated in the amount of $14,999 until the work was completed and an invoice was submitted for the total effort.
The total cost of the sewer vacuum and transporting effort described above from Meeks Plumbing was $169,920. Since an Emergency Purchase Order in the amount of $14,999 was issued to initiate the work, approval is needed in the amount of $154,921 to pay Meeks Plumbing’s invoice #0210472-IN in its entirety.
