Staff arrived at the site and closed the traffic lane for safety purposes.\nStaff investigated and found the corrugated metal storm drain had rusted and created a\nvoid under the pipe. This caused the soil around the pipe to settle during heavy rains,\nresulting in the pavement failure. Staff contacted local contractors and received price\nquotes from two available contactors - Sancon Technologies, Inc. in the amount of\n$143,600.00, and Grbcon, Inc. in the amount of $234,982.00. Due to the nature of the\nemergency, staff authorized work with Sancon Technologies, Inc. They removed and\nreplaced 15 feet of the corrugated pipe, and cleaned and lined the remaining 285 feet of\nthe storm drain pipe.\nRecommended Action: City Council ratify award of the contract to Sancon\nTechnologies, Inc. for the Emergency Storm Drain Pipe repair at Ramona Avenue in an\namount not to exceed $143,600.00; and, direct staff to undertake the steps necessary to\nfinalize Council’s action.
