Subject: Notification of an Emergency Purchase with Cathcart Construction Company for
Repairs to the Intersection of N Lakewood Avenue and Security Circle in accordance with
Section 21.6 of the City of Ocoee Code of Ordinances. (Utilities Director Bolling)
Background Summary:
On Monday, December 16, 2024, the liner in Manhole #4543 (N Lakewood Ave & Security Cir) suffered a
catastrophic failure during bypass pumping operations at Lift Station #63 (Security Circle). The failed manhole
liner allowed sewage to seep between the layers of the road at the intersection of N Lakewood Avenue &
Security Circle, causing the surface of the road to upheave. Staff contacted Cathcart Construction, an
approved contractor for construction projects under $500,000.00, who was able to provide immediate
assistance by supplying MOT, sewage cleanup, and repaving the damaged section of road after the manhole
liner was replaced. Staff notified the City Manager of the damage caused by the failed manhole and received
approval to make any repairs necessary in order to open the road as quickly and safely as possible.
Issue:
Provide notification to the Honorable Mayor and City Commission of an Emergency Purchase that exceeds the
City Manager’s normal purchase authority in accordance with Section 21.6 of the City of Ocoee Code of
Ordinances.
