Littrell, Director, <br />Division of Engineering, advised that the Sewer Department has <br />been diligently trying to clear a sewer blockage in the 1800 and <br />1900 blocks of South Carlisle Street. After several futile <br />efforts to clear the problem, it is apparent that about three <br />hundred fifty (350) lineal feet of the sewer must be replaced on <br />an emergency basis. <br />Mr. Littrell stated that he has solicited Quotations from five (5) <br />firms. Three (3) of those firms replied that they had enough work <br />in progress that they could not respond to the request on an <br />emergency basis. The following Quotations were received: <br />1. Dye Plumbing & Heating, Inc. <br />3535 Monroe Street <br />LaPorte, Indiana 46350 <br />QUOTATION: $34,500.00 <br />2. HRP Construction, Inc. <br />P.O. Box 266 <br />South Bend, Indiana 46624-0266 <br />QUOTATION: $46,299.00 <br />Mr. Littrell further stated that under emergency authority, Dye <br />Plumbing & Heating, Inc., has begun the work and he therefore <br />requests the Board's approval of this action. <br />Mr. Leszczynski noted that three hundred fifty feet (3501) of <br />sewer needs to be replaced and unless this emergency repair is <br />made quickly, the basements of the residents in the area will be <br />flooded. It was further noted that flooding of basements has <br />already been occurring. <br />Therefore, Mr. Leszczynski made a motion that the Board invoke its <br />emergency powers, declare that an emergency exists and approve the <br />award of the Contract to Dye Plumbing & Heating, Inc., in the <br />amount of $34,500.00. Mr. Caldwell seconded the motion which <br />carried. <br />
