EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Approval of this recommendation will authorize the emergency repair of a sinkhole that occurred at the intersection of Torrance Boulevard and Catalina Avenue on August 6, 2020.  The materials, equipment and services needed to perform the repair are being provided by Mike Prlich and Sons, Inc. for a cost to the Wastewater Fund not to exceed $65,0000. 

 

BACKGROUND

On August 6, 2020, a failed segment of sewer main line resulted in a sinkhole developing at the intersection of Torrance Boulevard and Catalina Avenue.  It was necessary to retain the services of Mike Prlich and Sons, an experienced utility line contractor, to perform the necessary repairs, which included excavating impacted/loose soil, replacing a five-foot segment of sewer main line, installing backfill material to replace eroded soils and repaving the impacted surface area of the asphalt roadway.  The total cost for materials, services and equipment rental is projected to be approximately $55,000, and with approximately 20% contingency will not exceed $65,000.  The repairs are on-going as of agenda development for the August 18, 2020, City Council meeting.   

 

As the sinkhole presented a significant safety hazard and had to be repaired immediately, it was not practical to solicit bids for the necessary repair work.  The expenditure for the repairs requires City Council approval.

 

COORDINATION

The Public Works Department coordinated this item. 

 

FISCAL IMPACT

The cost for outside materials, equipment rental and labor needed to repair a sinkhole at the intersection of Torrance Boulevard and Catalina Avenue is projected to be approximately $55,000, and with approximately 20% contingence will not exceed $65,000.  Funding for this unanticipated expense can be paid from the Public Works Department’s Wastewater Fund operating budget.
