Commissioner Scurlock cautioned Administrator Chandler <br />regarding insurance requirements for this deep well project since <br />there have been cases where they have gone awry. He is sure our <br />Risk Manager will do that but wants to be very sure we are covered. <br />Administrator Chandler assured him this will be double- <br />checked. <br />THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION <br />It was voted on and carried unanimously. <br />EMERGENCY REPLACEMENT OF WATER LINES IN ROCKRIDGE <br />The Board reviewed memo from Utility Director Terry Pinto <br />dated April 26, 1991: <br />DATE: APRIL 260 1991 <br />TO: JAMES E. CHANDLER <br />COUNTY ADMINISTRATO <br />,•' TERRANCE G. PINT <br />,FROM: <br />DIRECTOR OF UTI SERVICES <br />PREPARED HARRY E. ASHER <br />AND STAFFED BY: ASSISTANT DI OF UTILITY SERVICES <br />SUBJECT: EMERGENCY REPLACEMENT OF WATERLINES IN <br />ROCKRIDGE - 6TH AVENUE AND STH COURT <br />BACKGROUND <br />The Department of Utility Services received the attached petition from <br />the residents of 6th Avenue and 5th Court in Rockridge on April 19,,. <br />1991. The existing lines are 1 1/4" and 2" galvanized lines taken over <br />from the Mid -Florida Utility System in the early 19801s. The original, <br />-date of construction of the lines is not known. The lines have <br />deteriorated with external and internal corrosion' to the point of <br />almost total loss of pressure to some customers and discolored water* <br />when pressure is available. <br />ANALYSIS <br />Upon receipt of the petition, the Department reviewed the specific <br />locations and has responded to the petition on an "Emergency Basis" by <br />beginning replacement of the lines on 6th Avenue and 5th Court <br />immediately. The Department requested and received bids from two <br />contractors who responded in writing on April 22, 1991. The low bid <br />was from Tim Rose Construction in the amount of $9,706.00 to supply <br />labor and equipment only for the construction. The Department will <br />supply the necessary materials under its current materials bid through <br />the Purchasing Department. <br />The total estimated replacement cost, including materials, will not <br />exceed $16,000.00. The funds for this replacement are in the current <br />1990-91 budget. The remaining galvanized lines in the area are <br />scheduled for replacement, with construction projected to begin within <br />45 days. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />The Department of Utility Services requests The Board of County <br />Commissioners' retroactive approval of the emergency replacement of <br />galvanized water lines on 6th Avenue and 5th Court with costs not to <br />exceed $16,000.00. <br />to - <br />, 'exceed .._ <br />MAY 7 iggl <br />
