Avon council awards $46,450 contract to connect Apex Park restrooms to sanitary sewer
Summary
After staff recommended a gravity sewer connection and warned of potential utility fines, the Avon Town Council voted to award a $46,450.93 contract to Dayar Directional Drilling to connect Apex Ballpark restrooms to the West Central sanitary system, to be paid from food-and-beverage funds.
The Avon Town Council voted May 14 to award a $46,450.93 contract to Dayar Directional Drilling to construct a gravity sanitary sewer connection from Apex Ballpark restrooms to the West Central sanitary system.
Parks staff presented background on a notice the town received requiring the connection because the sanitary main lies within roughly 250 feet of the park property line. Tiffany (parks staff) said the town considered options including demolishing the building, mobile restrooms and low‑pressure systems and concluded a gravity connection was the most feasible. Staff obtained three quotes and recommended the low bid from Dayar.
Town legal counsel and staff told the council the utility may assess fines if the town does not connect after a formal notice. Brian, the town attorney, said state law allows a utility to compel connections when a public sewer is within 300 feet of the property line and that the utility's resolution sets a $250/day finding for commercial structures past the 90‑day notice period.
Council moved and seconded to approve the Dayar quote and authorized payment; council and staff indicated the town would use food‑and‑beverage funds to cover the work. The council directed staff to handle any required tap fees and inspections as part of the contract administration. The motion passed on roll call.
Staff said the contractor might complete the work within two to three weeks if the contract is executed promptly, which could reduce or avoid further fines from the utility.
