There are two clogs of unknown origin for approximately 400 feet along the line on Levy Road. A contractor attempted to inspect and clear the line, but was unsuccessful due to the pipe being completely blocked. Staff has reached out to other contractors, and is currently awaiting several quotes, but would need to set aside approximately $200,000 to cover the costs of the work. With hurricane season upon us, this clog could potentially create a flooding situation at the wastewater treatment plant, as the overflow could not be sent out during an influx of rain water. Also, the utilities department is attempting to clear out a well, and the outfall line cannot be effectively used to drain this well because of this clog. BUDGET: The funds for this work would come from the wastewater treatment account 410-5508- 535-6300. RECOMMENDATION: Authorize the City Manager to approve the funds and execute contracts and purchase orders in the estimated amount of $200,000 to provide this emergency service. ATTACHMENT(S): 1) Resolution No. 23-21 REVIEWED BY CITY MANAGER: Attachment B to 6-12-23 Minutes RESOLUTION NO. 23-21 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF ATLANTIC BEACH, FLORIDA, AUTHORIZING THE EMERGENCY FUNDS FOR CLEARING THE LEVY ROAD OUTFALL PIPELINE; AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE CONTRACTS AND PURCHASE ORDERS IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND AS NECESSARY TO EFFECTUATE THE PROVISIONS OF THIS RESOLUTION; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. WHEREAS, in May, 2023, staff hired a contractor, GPH Services, to televise approximately 366 linear feet of 21" clay pipe, and clear a blockage in the outfall pipeline along Levy Road; and WHEREAS, the contractor could not perform the root removal due to heavy intrusion; and WHEREAS, this work is considered an emergency and funds are needed quickly due to hurricane season and the potential for an influx of water that cannot be handled by the wastewater treatment facility if this line remains blocked; and WHEREAS, staff has requested and is currently awaiting several other quotes; and NOW THEREFORE, be it resolved by the City Commission of the City of Atlantic Beach as follows: Section 1. The City Commission hereby authorizes the City Manager to execute contracts and purchase orders for emergency work in the estimated amount of $200,000 for televising and clearing of the outfall pipeline along Levy Road and; Section 2.

The City Commission hereby authorizes the City Manager to execute contracts and purchase orders in accordance with and as necessary to effectuate the provisions of this Resolution; Section 4.
