Title
Water Main Break Emergency Repair at 11300 Poplar Creek Lane - Payment
History
On August 23, 2017, staff responded to a water main break at 11300 Poplar Creek Lane. Village staff excavated the water main to make the repair and determined that the water main had extensive cracks and pitting. Staff hydro-excavated the main on each side of the break to determine the extent of the deterioration. The water main was found to be in good shape approximately 10 feet on either side of the break. Staff recommended removing the deteriorating 8 inch main and replacing it with new 8 inch ductile water main, including one service connection. Village staff made a temporary repair in order to resume water service until the main could be replaced.
Due to the depth and length of main in need of replacement, the decision was made to engage Airy’s, Inc. of Tinley Park, Illinois to assist with this emergency repair. The Village has a contract with Airy’s, Inc. to perform this type of emergency repair work. The total cost of the repair completed by Airy’s for the emergency water main break is $8,138.06.
On October 2, 2017, this item was reviewed by the Public Works Committee and recommended for approval and referred to the VIllage Board of Trustees for consideration.
Financial Impact
Sufficient funds are available in the Utilities budget account 031-6002-443800 to cover the cost for this emergency repair.
Recommended Action/Motion
I move to approve payment to Airy’s, Inc. of Tinley Park, Illinois, for Water Main Break Emergency Repairs at 11300 Poplar Creek Lane in the amount of $8,138.06.
