The Public Works Department has received complaints from residents at 1526 Thumb Point Drive and 1679 Thumb Point Drive regarding sinkholes on the properties. The Engineering Department was contacted to provide assistance in determining the condition and cause. Upon investigation by the Engineering Department's emergency service contractor, Johnson-Davis, Inc., there are failures within the drainage pipes and structures within the drainage easements. The work under SA No. 4 attached is for the associated work necessary to remediate failing infrastructure found during the condition assessment and restore the areas. The proposed work is an immediate need as failing areas are abutting pools, causing structural issues and further potential damage to residential properties.

The repairs of the existing drainage system within the area and drainage easements will include lining 110 linear feet of 18-inch reinforced concrete pipe, replacing 152 linear feet of 18-inch reinforced concrete pipe and replacing storm structure grates. Also, restorations will include repairs to sinkholes, pavers, outfall pipes, fencing, concrete driveway and sod.

Pursue repairs through the emergency contract with Johnson-Davis, Inc.

Additionally, since initial investigations, sinkholes have been growing in the impact areas. Repairs would be required as soon as possible to lessen further impacts during storm season.
