Emergency Reclaimed Water Main Repair on North Clarke Road:
Background: Both the Public Works and Utilities Departments were notified on the second week of
March, 2019 of a damaged utility line under the pavement of North Clarke Road. A Kussmon
Services, LLC., a directional drill contractor, ruptured the City's 12" reclaimed water line and, due to
the rupture, caused the roadway to be undermined. Kussmon Services did not have the resources
to make the necessary repairs. With concurrence of the Utilities Director and the Risk Manager, the
Utilities Department requested Tri-Sure Corporation to mobilize to the site for repairs. Tri-Sure had
previously done utility work for the City and was working in the City at the time of the incident.
The Reclaimed Water system has been repaired and the roadway has been patched until a full
FDOT level repair can be completed.
Issue:
Provide notification to Mayor and City Commission of Emergency Repair exceeding City Manager's
normal purchase authority as provided by Section 21.6 Emergency Purchase, Chapter 21 of City
Code of Ordinances.

Attachments:

Financial Impact:
The total cost of the repair is not expected to exceed $70,000. The cost of this work will be submitted
through the City's Risk Manager as a claim against the contractor that caused the damage.
