OFFICE OF THE VILLAGE MANAGER LETTER TO COUNCIL
NO. 088-2018
To: Mayor Gabriel Groisman and Members of the Village Council
From: Jorge M. Gonzalez, Village Manager
Date: May 25, 2018 �1
Subject: Emergency Sewer Main Replacement South of 223 Bal Bay Drive
The purpose of this Letter to Council (LTC) is to transmit to you information pertaining to
an emergency sewer main line replacement that is scheduled to take place in the street
South of 223 Bal Bay Drive.
On May 22, 2018 Parks and Public Space Staff responded to reports from residents along
the 200 Block of Bal Bay Drive regarding sanitary sewer blockages. Staff responded and
determined a blockage existed just South of 223 Bal Bay Drive. A vacuum truck from
Shenandoah Construction responded on an emergency basis to jet and clear the
blockage. Subsequent to the line clearing, a review of the sanitary sewer video confirmed
that the sewer main contains multiple cracks and dips in elevation. This condition causes a
reversal in flow within the sanitary sewer main and if not repaired, this condition will lead
to continuous blockages.
In order to correct this situation, the Village is scheduled to perform emergency work to
replace one hundred sixty-seven (167) linear feet of eight (8) inch sewer main to remedy
the reverse flow condition.
On May 22, 2018, the Village contacted Quality Construction Performance Inc. (QCP) to
schedule the emergency replacement of the sewer main. This work is tentatively scheduled
to begin May 29, 2018. It is anticipated that there will be no interruptions of sewer service
in the area while the repairs are taking place. The estimated time for the replacement is
four (4) days, and every attempt will be made to maintain traffic flow. Please see the aerial
view attachment of the work area (see attached). Since this work is going to be performed
on an emergency basis, if the cost to perform the line replacement and restoration work
exceeds the established purchasing authority, an item will be placed on the next
scheduled Village Council meeting for retroactive approval of the expenditure.
If you have any questions please feel free to contact me.
