Body
SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:
The existing combination sewer and manhole near Dorr & Junction collapsed, causing a large sink hole in the street and blockage of the sewer. Emergency repair was necessary to ensure the health and safety of the public. Due to the depth (35’) of the excavation and the size of the sewer (48”), the Division of Engineering Services was requested to work with a contractor to replace this section of sewer. Edward Kelly and Sons was the vendor hired to perform the sewer work. Sufficient funds are available within the Sewer Operating Fund and Storm Water Utility Operating Fund to pay for this emergency sewer replacement.
