Item No. 17-061
Date: December 28, 2016
Item/Subject: ORDER, Authorizing Change Order in the Amount of $205,840 to Lou
Silver for Repairs to the Davis Brook Overflow
Responsible Department: Engineering
Commentary: Engineering has developed a plan to repair the sinkhole that occurred last month on
the waterfront. The sinkhole was due to the collapse of a timber box culvert that carries a portion
of the Davis Brook overflow. The proposed repair plan includes removing the remaining 50 feet of
timber box culvert and replacing it with 6'x 7' concrete box sections. In addition, it will include
removing and replacing 3 sections of existing concrete box culvert (181 nearest to the river. The
total length of new box will be about 74'.
This repair is very difficult due to several factors that include limited work window due to
the work being in the tidal zone, the winter weather conditions, depth of the existing
culvert (about 22� and the close proximity of the existing Davis Brook storage facility and
the 42" Penobscot sewer interceptor pipe.
Staff reviewed the ability and availability of a number of local contractors. Staff
recommendation is to execute a change order to an existing contract with Lou Silver. Lou
Silver currently has the equipment and materials available to complete the repair. Due to
the emergency nature of this project, DEP has agreed to allow this project to become a
change order to an existing SRF loan funded project, ensuring compliance with all required
federal regulations. Due to the importance of this project, staff has requested that Lou
Silver begin this project as soon as possible and will likely be mobilizing equipment in the
next couple of days.
Funding for this project is available from savings in the recently completed Bio Media tower
project.
