7. DISCUSSION and BACKGROUND
The 18" diameter pipe was installed in 1958 as a transmission water main on Heim Aveune
between Orange -Olive Road and Canal Street. This is a steel pipe with cement lining on the
inside and outside of the pipe. A leak on this transmission line was reported and investigated by
Water Division staff. Because of the pipe material, the repair required the expertise of an outside
contractor. Valverde Construction, Inc. was contacted because of their experience repairing this
pipe material. They have successfully repaired leaks at other locations for the City in the past.
Their workmanship and reasonable pricing has proven beneficial to the City. Valverde
Construction provided the City with a quote in the amount of $24,000 to excavate and repair the
leak. Due to the need for this emergency repair work to be done expeditiously, staff sought and
received approval to proceed from the Purchasing Officer.
Upon exposing the existing water main, it was discovered that there were several other corroded
areas along this section of pipe. In order to ensure the integrity of the pipe and to prevent future
leaks, approximately 16 feet of the existing pipe was removed and replaced with new pipe
material. The cost for this additional work is $10,976 bringing the total cost for the repair to
$34,976. The repair work has been completed and the waterline is back in service. As this
emergency repair exceeded the City Manager's $30,000 contract authority, City Council approval
is necessary. Therefore, staff is requesting the authorization to make final payment to Valverde
Construction, Inc.
