E., City Engin��'" _ <br /> SUBJECT: Emergency Sewer Repair: Alley Behind 236 North Dennis Avenue <br /> SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION: <br /> It is recommended by staffthat the City Council approve the attached resolution approving the <br /> expenditure of$9,891.83 for the emergency repair of the sewer main in the alley behind 236 <br /> North Dennis Avenue, and that the Mayor be authorized to sign said resolution, and the City <br /> Clerk to attest. <br /> BACKGROUND: <br /> On Apri129, 2008, a City sewer cleaning device was caught on some damaged sewer pipe <br /> while City crews were responding to a sewer complaint in the 200 block of North Dennis <br /> Avenue. Televising was performed to determine the location of the cleaning device and the <br /> nature of the problem. It was determined that severe bends in the pipe were damaged and <br /> would not allow cleaning equipment to traverse the area. Since the cleaning device could not <br /> be removed from the pipe, it was determined that the sewer needed to be excavated in order to <br /> prevent sewage from being backed up into area homes. <br /> The depth of the sewer exceeded the ability of City crews to perform the excavation work. <br /> Upon an emergency order approved by the City Manager on Apri129, 2008, the City retained <br /> the services of Entler Excavating to perform the work necessary to retrieve the cleaning device <br /> and eliminate the damaged pipe bends. This work was accomplished under an emergency <br /> order because all funds on the 2007 Miscellaneous Sanitary Sewer Improvement Project were <br /> expended on previously scheduled work and emergency repairs. <br /> Work commenced on Apri130, and was completed on May 1, 2008. The total cost for the <br /> emergency sewer repair was $9,891.83. <br /> POTENTIAL OBJECTION: There are no known objections to this <br /> resolution. <br /> INPUT FROM OTHER SOURCES: None <br />
