Body
Staff Recommends: Approval of the attached Resolution
Explanation:
On April 25, 2018, the City became aware of damages to the 60-inch ocean outfall pipeline inside West Lake Village community, along West Lake Drive at Scarlet Oak Street, at Satinleaf Street, and potentially at River Birch Street caused by a contractor working on behalf of AT&T for Mastec, Inc
City staff contacted the City’s emergency underground contractor, Madsen Barr, to evaluate the damages to the pipeline and to perform the necessary and permanent emergency repairs; however, Madsen Barr indicated that they could not handle the repairs to the pipeline.
City staff contacted Lanzo Construction, Inc. and Reynolds Construction, LLC, locally recognized underground utility contractors with ample experience in the installation, repair and replacement of large pre-stressed cylindrical concrete pipe (PCCP).
City staff determined that Reynolds Construction, LLC is most capable of repairing the damaged 60-inch ocean outfall pipe.
The Department of Public Utilities recommends that the City Commission authorize the appropriate City Officials to execute an agreement with Reynolds Construction, LLC for the permanent emergency repairs to the 60-inch Ocean Outfall Pipe, inside West Lake Village community, along West Lake Drive at Scarlet Oak Street, at Satinleaf Street, and potentially at River Birch Street; Reynolds Construction, LLC will be compensated on a time and material basis.
Section 38.40(C)(1) of the City’s Code of Ordinances specifically states that emergency repairs are exempt from the competitive bid requirements of the City’s Purchasing Ordinance.
Additionally, the City of Hollywood will seek reimbursement for all costs and revenue losses; establishing a cost isolation number to track all direct and indirect costs related to this incident.
In the event the insurance company denies payment and the City’s legal claim does not prevail, funding to pay the claims would be available in contingency account No. 42.1200.00000.247.030000 to be transferred to an account to be established by the Department of Financial Services.
