Temple Terrace approves $254,923 pipe‑lining of Glenridge storm drain to fix post‑storm depressions
Summary
Council approved a $254,923.70 contract with Atlantic Pipe Services to install a cured‑in‑place lining in stormwaterpipes under Glenridge Avenue after storms caused soil movement and yard depressions. The work will be funded from the street improvement fund and submitted to FEMA for possible reimbursement.
The City of Temple Terrace on May 6 approved a $254,923.70 contract with Atlantic Pipe Services to perform a cured‑in‑place pipelining repair of stormwater infrastructure along Glenridge Avenue, city staff said.
Public Works Director Jason Warrenfeldt told council that after recent storms staff found depressions on Glenridge that corresponded to the city’s stormwater easement and that soils had shifted around the pipes. “Those soils pass through the pipes because of voids, and it allows the lawns to sink,” Warrenfeldt said. Lining the pipe in place avoids digging residents’ yards and extends the useful life of the existing conduit, he said.
The contract is being awarded via a piggyback on a competitively procured contract (Villages RFP 24P007), Warrenfeldt said. Funding for the unbudgeted repair will come from the street improvement fund; staff also said the work will be submitted to FEMA for possible reimbursement. Council and staff discussed life‑cycle tradeoffs: Warrenfeldt compared the $254,923 pipelining cost with multi‑hundred‑thousand‑dollar replacement projects elsewhere and said pipelining preserves infrastructure while avoiding broader neighborhood disruption.
Council member Fernandez asked how the lining works; Warrenfeldt described the product as a liquid material injected into the pipe that cures in place and bonds to the existing structure. Council member Kravitz asked whether the city has the camera and cleaning capability to identify other candidates for pipelining; Warrenfeldt said the utility department has a camera system and that council has directed staff to consider expanding pipelining for stormwater where viable.
Motion and vote: Council approved the proposal to Atlantic Pipe Services; the motion passed with no recorded nays.
Staff said the project will allow faster repairs, reduce yard disruption for private property owners on the city easement, and preserve budgeted capital for larger replacement projects.
