AT ROYAL COACH DRIVE.
RECITALS
Whereas, on Friday, March 1,2002, sewage leakage was detected seeping through
the road surface on Fairfax Road, at Royal Coach Drive; and
Whereas, City crews were immediately dispatched to the area and discovered that the
sewer force main had ruptured at this location; and
Whereas, on Friday, March 1,2002, the Public Works Director was informed that the
repairs could not be fixed by City staff alone; and
Whereas, the Public Works Director declared this problem an emergency and the work
to be performed was of urgent necessity for the preservation of life, health, or property;
and
Whereas, the Public Works Director determined that a portion of Fairfax Road at Royal
Coach Drive had to be closed to repair the sewer force main. Repairs were completed
by Tuesday, March 5, 2002 and the street reopened; and
Whereas, due to the nature of repairs, the potential liability to the City, and the potential
health hazard to the public, outside forces were required to repair the sewer force main
and roadway quickly; and
Whereas, to remedy this emergency, the Public Works Director authorized construction
services on a time-and-materials basis to repair the sewer force main and the severely
damaged roadway, which was caused by the ruptured force main, in order to prevent
recurrence of a ruptured sewer force main and to assure the safety of the public
traveling along Fair[ax Road.
