Analysis
On February 22, 2016, we experienced a water break on the 36" supply line from the City of Irving, located at Beltline Rd and Briery Road. The break was apparently caused by corrosion.
Since lack of this connection impairs the fire flow in the northeast part of the City, as well as the fact that we are nearing the high water consumption season, it is imperative that we get this connection restored as soon as possible.
Due to critical nature of emergency, we requested and were approved to waive the normal bidding procedures and awarded contract to North Texas Contracting, Inc. in the amount of $203,592.
Financial Consideration
Funding for the emergency repair purchase of the 36” supply line from the City of Irving from North Texas Contracting, Inc. in the amount of $213,771.60 is available in FY 2015/2016 Water WasteWater Operating Fund (361211) Water Mains Maintenance (63095) and will be charged accordingly.
