District to contract repair after collapsing catch basin found in Mel Ridge bus lane
Summary
Facilities staff reported a collapsing catch basin found during sewer cleaning at Mel Ridge, detailed repair work to excavate and rebuild the basin, and said they will request a purchase order for the contractor quote.
Facilities staff told the Buildings and Grounds meeting that a contractor conducting sanitary and storm sewer cleaning at Mel Ridge discovered a collapsing catch basin beneath a grate in the bus lane.
Staff said the contractor (identified in the meeting as CEROS) provided a repair quote of $5,005.70 to cut a 6-by-8-foot square surrounding the catch basin, remove the brick structure, reestablish and camera the lines to check for obstructions, backfill, and restore the area. In a later exchange a participant restated the repair cost as about $5,570; staff said they will submit a request for a purchase order to move forward.
Staff said CEROS will not replace concrete or asphalt after cutting the area; the district will solicit quotes to repave or concrete the affected section afterward. The work is planned in the bus lane alongside the Mel Ridge curb, and staff emphasized that fixing the collapse now will avoid a larger hazard such as a sinkhole or vehicle damage.
Ending
Staff described the quoted price as reasonable given the scope of work and said they will pursue the purchase order and follow-up paving quotes. No formal board vote was recorded during the discussion.
