Public Works Director / City Engineer <br /> <br />SUBJECT: Parkshore Drive Watermain Repair Invoice <br /> <br /> Budgeted Amount: Actual Amount: Funding Source: <br /> $31,340 remaining $33,212 Water Utility Fund <br /> of $50,000 budget <br /> Council Should Consider <br /> <br />Motions to approve, table, or deny the following: <br /> <br />• Payment of the invoice from Saint Paul Utilities & Excavating, Inc. in the amount of <br />$33,212. <br />All items need a simple majority for action unless otherwise noted. <br /> Background/Discussion <br /> On Sunday May 1, 2022, a watermain break on a 12-inch main was detected on Parkshore Drive <br />in the early evening. City staff addressed the situation by isolating the leak. Unfortunately, the <br />water could not be shut down completely due to the apartment building being served directly off <br />the main. Public Works throttled down the pressure to slow the leak while still supplying water <br />to the apartments overnight. The repairs were made Monday morning May 2, 2022, by Saint Paul <br />Utilities & Excavating, Inc. Since the water had to be left on overnight, there was an estimated <br />3,000,000 gallons lost which equates to approximately $9,450. <br /> <br />Staff has reviewed the invoice (Attachment A) and recommends that the City proceed with the <br />approval of payment in the amount of $33,212. <br />Budget Impact <br /> <br />This invoice exceeds the amount remaining in the budget for water main breaks. The Water <br />Fund will need to absorb this cost in other areas of the budget. <br /> <br />Attachments <br /> <br />Attachment A: SPU & E Invoice
