ON THE QUESTION
Mayor Donchess
Alright we have heard the motion. The City Engineer, Dan Hudson, is here | believe. Mr. Hudson?
Dan Hudson, City Engineer
Yes, thank you Mr. Mayor. So as part of our capacity and management operation and maintenance program
for our sewer system, otherwise known as CMOM, the City investigated sewer syphons. These are pipes that
carry wastewater across water bodies, so under rivers and such. As part of that inspection, we inspected 22
sections almost a mile long of pipe and those varied in sizes from 6 inch to 60 inches. As part of that work, we
identified some deficiencies, some needs for cracks and some lining that had corroded, some holes and some
exposes rebar. So we need to make some repairs to those pipes. Those pipes are installed between the
1960’s and early 1980's.
So what this contract would do would be engage Hazen & Sawyer, one of the Wastewater Engineers that
we've done a lot of work with to design those improvements. Obviously it is a complicated endeavor, we need
to divert flows to other pipes and that sort of thing. So we really need their expertise to design these repairs.
Once these repairs are designed, we would anticipate putting together a package for bid and be back with a
bid for separate approval at a later date.
