Title
Authorizing the Mayor to accept bids and award contracts for construction services to repair a 60-inch steel water transmission main; authorizing an expenditure of an amount not to exceed $150,000 from the Water Replacement Fund; and declaring an emergency.
Body
SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:
The Division of Water Distribution discovered a leak on the 60-inch steel transmission main located on Woodruff Avenue. The Division was unable to isolate the 60-inch main. Damage to existing valves was identified that could not be repaired without extending the original shut down. In order to extend the shutdown to accommodate for the damaged valves, St. Vincent's Hospital would be without service for an extended period of time. Due to this fact, the repair has to be made while the main is still under pressure. The only fitting that was found that could accommodate the size of the pipe and material needed to resist corrosion was the Westatlantic Split Barrel Repair Clamp. This clamp will be installed while the main remains under pressure. The Division is not equipped to perform the repair due to the size and depth of the excavation. The repair includes a securing the trench to allow for safe entry, installation of the repair clamp, quality assurance testing of the repair clamp, backfill, and restoration of the roadway to its original condition. This Ordinance authorizes the Mayor to accept bids and award contracts and payment of an amount not to exceed $150,000 for said labor. Budget is available in the Water Replacement Fund for this purpose.
Summary
NOW THEREFORE Be it ordained by the Council of the City of Toledo:
SECTION 1. That the Mayor is authorized to accept bids and enter into a contract for the repair of the of 60-inch steel water transmission main, upon the terms and conditions acceptable to the Director of Law and the Director of Public Utilities.
