Background:Through sealed bids, Augusta purchased an IBAK Sanitary Sewer Inspection System. The system has proven to be reliable and has had no down time since its delivery earlier this year. With a sanitary sewer collection system the size of Augusta's, more than one inspection system is a necessity. The success we've experienced with the IBAK system, along with equipment standardization needs, makes the purchase of another IBAK Sanitary Sewer Inspection System attractive. Analysis:P & H Supply has agreed to supply another IBAK Sanitary Sewer Inspection System for the same price as the previously approved purchase. By purchasing another system now, we can have a reliable fleet of two sanitary sewer inspection systems to allow more timely investigations of sanitary sewer issues. This will save the department time and money by not excavating sanitary sewer or storm lines that can be repaired using other methods. Financial Impact:$69,239.00 from account number 50604310-5424130 Alternatives:Reject purchase of the system. Recommendation:We recommend approving the purchase order to P&H Supply in the amount of $69,239.00 for an IBAK Sanitary Sewer Inspection System. Funds are Available in the Following Accounts: $69,239.00 from account number 50604310-5424130 REVIEWED AND APPROVED BY: Cover Memo Item # 5 Finance. Procurement. Law. Administrator.

Ladson, Director Caption:Approve completing funding of Wrightsboro Road and Drainage Emergency Repair in the amount of $800,000 as requested by AED. Background:In April 2014, AED received complaints of a sinkhole developing in the vicinity of Druid Park and Wrightsboro Road. Staff inspected the sink hole and the surrounding area and determined that a small portion of a 48 inch brick storm sewer pipe along Wrightsboro Road was collapsing. Repairs were immediately made at that location by Engineering Maintenance crews. Approximately, a week later sinkholes began to develop again around the problem area and other areas along the storm sewer line. Another assessment was performed and it was determined that the severity of the sinkholes and the storm sewer line was deemed an emergency. Wrightsboro Road between Holden Street and Emmett Street was immediately closed and emergency repair began. Emergency repair was based on public safety concerns and potential liability risk. Analysis:The estimated cost for construction is $800,000, and completion work is scheduled for August 1, 2014. Other storm sewer lines that connect to the brick sewer are currently being inspected. More repairs maybe warranted. Financial Impact:Funds are available through Engineering SPLOST IV Recapture. Alternatives:1) Approve completing funding of Wrightsboro Road and Drainage Emergency Repair in the amount of $800,000. 2) Do not approve and complete emergency project Recommendation:Approve alternative 1.
