Approval of emergency expenditure to Johnson-Davis, Inc. for 8th Street Emergency Drainage Repairs in the amount not to exceed $212,845.00 as a piggyback of the Town of Jupiter Utilities Unit Price Contract for Stormwater Utility Infrastructure Repairs, Contract No. S2029, as awarded to Johnson-Davis, Inc.

Due to the age of the City's stormwater infrastructure, there have been numerous incidents of failing roadways and surrounding flooding conditions. These failures are critical to be addressed expediently in order to alleviate negative impacts to homes and businesses surrounding the failing roadways and drainage concerns. This contract would eliminate the need to go through the bidding process for these emergency drainage repairs, which will not only save time but also prevent widespread damage to the surrounding infrastructure.

The drainage in the area of S. 8th Street and Howie Drive shows pavement compromise. Initial camera investigations of the roadway pipes showed areas of collapse, dirt compaction and compromised catch basins. The proposed work will include pipe replacement from corrugated metal to reinforced concrete and upsizing from 15-inches to 18-inches. Additionally, new inlets, a manhole and a check valve will be installed and the roadway restored.

Pursue repairs through the emergency contract with Johnson-Davis. Johnson-Davis performed initial investigations due to collapsing portions of the roadway.

Staff shall proceed as directed by the City Commission
