Gov't Code Sec. 252.022(a)(2). (Resolution R22-581)
Presenter: Neil Weems, Assistant Director of Public Works
The sewer line between S.E. 9th Street and S.E. 10th Street east of South Broadway
collapsed. The depth of the sewer line, along with an unusually narrow alley made the
replacement difficult. The City does not have the equipment capable of reaching the depth
of the sewer line in the narrow alley. The City needed to move quickly to repair/replace
the line to restore service and prevent sewer from overflowing on the ground in this
residential area. Therefore, the City utilized Amarillo Utility Contractors to pipe burst the
sewer line as an emergency. The total cost for the repair is $160,950.
Public Comment: None
Motion: Move to accept Resolution R22-581 ratifying the emergency expenditure for
the sewer line repair.
