Council authorizes replacement of sanitary sewer on North Washington Street; on‑call contractor awarded
Summary
Council approved authorization for Plan B Development to replace a failing sanitary sewer run along North Washington Street for roughly $22,760 (transcript contains $23,760 quote in presentation); staff said the work is necessary where access limits maintenance and includes work under an underground brick box culvert.
The Mexico City Council approved July 28 a staff recommendation to authorize Plan B Development to replace a defective sanitary sewer segment on North Washington Street between Allison Street and the Towne Branch. Staff said the work addresses an area with limited access that prevents routine repairs.
Staff said the on‑call contractor (Plan B Development) provided a quote of $23,760 to replace the line and a manhole and noted the location is complicated by a large underground brick box culvert that contractors will need to work under; during the motion the dollar figure recorded by the council member making the motion was $22,760. Council approved the contract authorization.
Why it matters: the replacement addresses a part of the sanitary system that staff said had several problems and cannot be maintained without replacement; staff recommended accepting the contractor quote and moving forward to avoid service failures.
Next steps: staff will authorize Plan B Development to proceed with replacement work and said they would answer questions and coordinate schedules. Council approved the expenditure by vote recorded in the meeting.
Ending: Staff will execute the contract with the contractor and oversee the work; final contract documentation will reflect the authorized amount.
