Marion County Utility Fund - Utilities Management - $327,150
Body
INITIATOR:
DEPARTMENT:
Tony Cunningham, P.E., Director
Utilities
DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND:
When a water main leak occurs that impacts a roadway or other incidents that result in needing to remove asphalt from the right of way, the asphalt repair vendor historically laid an asphalt patch only on the area of the roadway where the asphalt was removed. Office of the County Engineer now requires a larger area of asphalt replacement resulting in increased costs to Marion County Utilities (MCU). MCU was utilizing an independent contractor for these repairs, but that contractor stopped performing the required asphalt repairs resulting in 24 unfinished repairs. A new contract was initiated to meet the new asphalt repair requirements. A vendor has now been contracted to complete these repairs, but between the backlog and the additional repair work requirements, additional funds are needed in Repairs/Maintenance - Mains and Lines.
