CASSELBERRY CITY COMMISSION Minutes of March 24, 2025— Regular Meeting Page 13 of 14 make purchases outside of the normal procurement and budgetary procedures with the requirement that notification and explanation is timely provided to the Commission. On March 13th there was a sanitary sewer backup at 1 l 7 Mark David Boulevard. Investigation with a camera found that two fiber optic lines had been drilled through the gravity sewer main which were causing the surrounding soil to enter the pipeline causing the backups. An above -ground bypass was installed to ensure that no sanitary sewer overflows occur prior to the repair being made. The gravity sewer line at this location is approximately 15 feet deep and located under a brick wall approximately 10 feet off the roadway of Red Bug Lake Road. This repair is outside City staff's purview due to the complexity of the work. The City has contractors for pipeline replacement but none of these contracts contain line iters for gravity sewer repair work; therefore, emergency contractor services had to be obtained. Cathcart Construction Company provided a quote for $299,693.82 and advised the work would be performed within a week. The quote includes mobilization, MOT (maintenance of traffic) for traffic that may be diverted along Seminola Boulevard, clearing and grubbing, removing and replacing the brick wall, dewatering, cleaning and repairing the existing gravity sewer main, sidewalk removal and replacement and grading/sodding any disturbed areas, and obtaining required permits for Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) and Seminole County. After a budget transfer between Utilities Operating accounts is made, sufficient funds will be available in the Water and Sewer Fund Distribution & Collection Repair & Replacement/Emergencies account for these services. • Commended Public Works Department staff for pursuing the grant from NRCS for the erosion repairs. • Reported that he and Mayor Henson had attended the monthly Mayors and Managers meeting on Tuesday, March 18"i. • Gave a brief update on the two Wheel Parks that will be coming online very soon. Advised that Phase I had moved along so quickly that a soft opening was planned very soon, potentially sometime later this week. He added that progress on Phase I was also moving quickly, and lie anticipated it would also be in a position to open sooner than anticipated, but he was not ready to announce a date yet. Advised he had walked the parks earlier in the day and had been very impressed, and hoped the Commissioners would soon have a chance to check them out, as well. 15.
