The Town is making every effort to expedite the process and to lessen the impact on the neighboring residence. The measures to date that were installed were to secure and maintain the slide and utilities (gas, water, sewer, and high voltage) to avoid interruption in service.
Over the last few weeks, we have been drilling test holes and testing the soils to determine what would be the best fix for the slide. We are concurrently working on the repair plan documents, which include the design of the new retaining wall and drainage system; we estimate that the construction documents should be completed within the next two weeks. Once we have completed the construction documents the bidding package for the project will go out to bid, which should take an additional week or two. Fortunately, the funding for the repair of the slide was already approved at our April 11th Town Council Meeting; the approval will allow us to start the project as soon as we have a contractor in place.
The Town hopes to begin construction on the repair mid May 2011 , and I would estimate the project should be completed by early to mid July 2011.
2009 Sanitary Sewer Cleaning and Video Inspection Phase VII (A)
Contractor - Roto Rooter. In compliance with the Baykeepers settlement and the Regional Water Quality Control Board cease and desist order this project is the first of three phases for sewer cleaning and video inspection. The target for the project is to inspect sections of the Towns' sanitary sewer system that has not already been video inspected and cleaned. A contract in the amount of $189,204 was awarded to Sanact Inc. (Roto Rooter) in July 2010 to provide multiple services for maintaining sewer lines including cleaning, video inspection with closed-circuit television and for performing emergency pipeline repairs. Roto Rooter will service approximately 36,300 linear feet (6.9 miles) of 6-inch sanitary sewer main line within the Town's easement in the roadways.
The contractor has been working in Town since September and has completed 96% of the proposed cleaning and 60% of the video inspection for the project. To date, 60 potential emergency point repairs have been identified and staff has prioritized and has authorized the contractor to repair 25 of the 60 repairs. The contractor has submitted a proposal for pipe bursting as a more cost effective option for rehabilitating these sections of sewer mains. Staff is currently compiling a list of repairs to present to Council in the future to fund this work.
