Locating crews arrived at 11:30AM and located the utilities in the designated area and began to isolate the leak by shutting off valves. 2 broken water valves were located, and staff called TLC Company to mobilize and repair the valves and water lines. TLC arrived at approximately 12:30 PM. TLC waited until water line was isolated. TLC started to repair the line at 5:15 PM by digging a 6’x15’ hole that was approximately 4’ deep to expose the pipe. What was found was a 1” service line that broke away from the 6” main line causing damage to both the 1’ and 6” lines. TLC then replaced an 8’-10’ piece of 6” line tying into the 1” service line. The hole was then filled. The street has yet to be repaved as of 3/23/26 but there is base course present and the street is passable. TLC finished their work at approximately 9:15 PM. Nathan Martinez and Julian Payne started to pressurize the system at 9:20 PM and finished pressurizing and flushing the system at 11:30 PM. DETERMINATION: It is therefore the written determination of the County Procurement Manager to declare this emergency procurement for the repairs as there exists a threat to public health, welfare and safety, pursuant to 13-1127 Emergency Procurements.
