INTER-OFFICE MEMORANDUM

DIVISION OF ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES
TO: Members of the Board of Public Works
Michael Schmidt, Assistant City Attorney Public Works
Theresa Heffner, Clerk
FROM: Jacob M. Klosinski, P.E., Assistant City Engineer
SUBJECT: Emergency Repair – Quince Road and Edison Road Sanitary Sewer and
Force Main Repair (PO-0018236)
Agenda Request – Ratify Emergency Repair Contract
DATE: September 19, 2022
The Department of Public Works Division of Engineering, Utilities, and Street/Sewer teams
contacted Selge Construction Company to assist with emergency repairs following a sanitary force
main and street collapse at the intersection of Quince Road and Edison Road in St. Joseph County
along the I/N Tek Sanitary Trunk Sewer.
Assessment
The root cause of the sanitary sewer collapse was a result of a section of ductile iron force main
pipe collapsing west of the discharge manhole structure. The continuous pump cycles from the
Geyer Ditch Lift Station eventually caused the soils around the force main pipe to undermine the
pavement and flush soil into the downstream sanitary sewer, creating a void under the pavement
which eventually collapse. No one was injured during the pavement collapse. The collapse
occurred around 7:00 PM on August 4, 2022.
Gas mains owned by Northern Indiana Public Service Company (NIPSCO) were exposed during
the street collapse. The gas mains had to be temporarily isolate and bypassed prior to excavation
work for safety. NIPSCO emergency crews completed this work between 1:00 AM – 6:00 AM the
morning of August 5, 2022.
City crews and Selge Construction Company began repair work and assessment between 8:00
A.M. and 9:00 A.M. once the area was deemed safe for excavation work. During excavation and
assessment, the existing discharge manhole was determined to be in poor condition due to
deterioration and required replacement during this repair effort. Sections of the ductile iron gravity
sewer had collapsed when the pavement collapsed and also required replacement.
Emergency Repair Scope of Work
Selge Construction was contracted to excavate and repair the failed force main pipe and gravity
sewer. City of South Bend Street/Sewer crew supplied a manhole structure lid and casting.
Suppliers also supplied an additional manhole and available 18-inch SDR-35 gravity sewer pipe
to complete the repairs. The repaired force main was back on-line in full service before 6:00
P.M. Friday, August 5, 2022. Selge Construction subcontracted the paving work which was
completed the following week.
For questions regarding the subject agenda request and emergency repair, contact Jacob M.
Klosinski (Ext. 9496) at the Division of Engineering.
