PURPOSE:

These services include remediation services for sewer backups and water main breaks that happen due to malfunctions in the County’s aging water and sewer systems. Standing water as well as sewage is a public health risk, as it has bacteria and viruses that can be deadly to humans. These services were bid out three times. The first two ITBs resulted in no bid being deemed responsive and responsible. The third ITB was awarded by the BOC on June 8, 2021. During the period with no contract, services were provided on an emergency basis in order to continue to provide remediation for citizens. The request is to ratify the amount spent while there was no contract in place with total expenditures equaling $193,420.17.
