This emergency work was identified by the Division of Wastewater when the lift station experienced operational issues that required immediate intervention to restore service and ensure continued wastewater conveyance. The pumps and wet well were found to be accumulating sand and debris, indicating a potential break in the upstream section. A break was found in the top of the upstream gravity sewer connecting the northern section to the lift station after bypassing the lift station and clearing sand. GE Marshall was contracted on a time and materials basis for the emergency repair work after contacting additional contractors about availability. Excavation of the pipe segment included the full width of the road, dewatering, and continuous bypass operations to expose the break and replace the pipe. Additional break down of work completed by GE Marshall is attached. Total Emergency Repair Cost from GE Marshall: $95,323.04 Emergency Purchase Order PO-35035 was paid through Sewage Works Operations. Please call with your questions 5998. June 10, 2025
