Finance Committee records emergency waiver, pays for West Main sewer repair
Summary
The Finance Committee recorded Temp Res #78-25 after a sinkhole from a collapsed sewer line on West Main required emergency repairs; competitive bidding was waived and the work paid from contingency funds, the committee noted.
The Finance Committee recorded a temporary resolution authorizing emergency repairs to a collapsed sewer line on West Main between Slocum and Welsh.
Mr. Wing, identified in the agenda as a member associated with the Water/Water Pollution Control Committee, introduced Temp Res #78-25 describing a sinkhole that followed the sewer-line collapse. Water Pollution Control superintendent Curtis Witham described the repairs that were required and the emergency response.
According to the committee record, competitive bidding was waived because of the emergency and the repair was completed and paid for with budgeted contingency funds. The transcript does not record a roll-call vote or mover/second for a formal motion; it states the bidding waiver was applied and the repair executed.
The committee did not elaborate on costs beyond saying contingency funds covered the expense. The matter was recorded as an emergency suspension of standard procurement procedures; no further action or scheduled follow-up appears in the minutes included in the transcript.
The committee adjourned later in the meeting; the minutes for this session were submitted by Mr. Schoonover, Finance Chair.
