Council Ratifies $88,672.55 Emergency Purchase for Water‑Main Repairs
Summary
The Hurst City Council ratified an emergency purchase of $88,672.55 with Flowline Construction Inc. to repair two water mains that leaked in late January, citing the specialized expertise required and the lines' depth and proximity to other structures.
The Hurst City Council ratified the city manager’s emergency purchase of $88,672.55 with Flowline Construction Inc. to repair two leaking water mains.
City staff said the repairs addressed a 30‑inch main near the library on Erwin Street — one of the city’s main supply lines from Fort Worth — and a 16‑inch main near Farrington Drive. Staff said the pipe materials and the depth of the lines required outside expertise the city does not keep on staff, and that the repairs were necessary to protect infrastructure and adjacent structures.
The total cost reported in the meeting was $88,672.55. A councilmember moved to ratify the city manager’s emergency purchase; the motion passed by voice vote.
Staff said the authorization before council was to ratify the emergency purchase and to confirm that the public‑works department engaged a qualified contractor to perform specialized repairs.
