Board authorizes emergency contract for Main Street sinkhole repair at about $30,500
Summary
Greenwood approved a $30,500 emergency contract with SLP to repair a sinkhole and restore the storm drain on East Main Street after staff found an exposed clay tile; the work was performed March 9–10 and was authorized retroactively at the April meeting.
The Greenwood Storm Water Board approved an emergency storm-sewer repair contract April 8 after staff reported a sinkhole beginning to form on East Main Street. Staff said the sinkhole exposed old clay tile and that the city asked contractor SLP to perform live storm-drain repair and restoration work on March 9–10.
Legal department prepared the emergency contract with exhibit A showing $30,500 in work. Staff recommended the agreement and the board approved the authorization for the storm water superintendent to execute the contract. Board members noted that streets and rights-of-way are typically billed differently, but supported using SLP to complete the emergency repair to protect public infrastructure and prevent roadway failure.
Staff will process the contract through the legal and finance offices and file the repair records with project documentation.
