Through planned inspections and field observations, Public Works personnel have identified various roadway locations in the City that require urgent storm drain and sewer point repairs due to sinkholes, pipe invert failure, and other defects. These repairs are critical to prevent roadway damage, reduce flooding risks, maintain reliable sewer service, and avoid potential National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) violations.
To perform the necessary repair work, staff contacted contractors with utility infrastructure construction experience and obtained three quotes/proposals. After reviewing the quotes, Toro Enterprises, Inc. was determined to have submitted the most competitive proposal of $303,100 and is available to perform the work according to the City's preferred timeline.
