Summary Explanation and Background:
On May 26, 2022, the Utility Services department was notified that an 8-inch gravity sewer at the intersection of Lake Andrew Drive and Ivanhoe Drive may have been hit by a boring contractor. Per our investigation, it was discovered that the gravity sewer was struck in the median of the above-mentioned intersection causing the pipe to be collapsed causing a blockage and a sinkhole. A directional boring contractor, performing work for a private development, failed to contact Utility Services in a timely fashion to mark our utilities (sewer and reuse) in the area. An Emergency Purchase Order was initiated in the amount of $14,999 until the repair was complete and an invoice was submitted for the total amount of the repair.
The repair involved replacing 10 feet of 10-inch gravity main which included trenching, dewatering, repaving 100 feet of both sides of Ivanhoe Drive and maintenance of traffic. Due to the depth and complexity of the repair this Department requested the assistance of Danus Utilities, who has assisted us in similar types of repair.
The total cost of the effort described above from Danus Utilities, Inc was $196,198. Since an Emergency Purchase Order in the amount of $14,999.00 was issued to initiate the work, approval is needed in the amount of $181,199.00 to pay Danus Utilities, Inc's invoice #081822-1R in its entirety.
