WHEREAS, severely deteriorated sections of corrugated metal pipe (CMP) and
corrugated metal pipe arch (CMPA) were discovered within the storm drain system on "E" Street
at its intersection with Fourth Avenue: and
WHEREAS, portions of this storm drain system had failed or were in imminent danger of
failure, based upon closed circuit television (CCTV) inspection performed by City Public Works
crews; and
WHEREAS, failure of these portions of the storm drain system would lead to the collapse
of surface improvements within the intersection, as well as cause damage to adjacent buildings;
and
WHEREAS, in light of previous failures within the system and the knowledge that
additional failure was imminent, staff determined that immediate action was required to avoid
damage to public and private infrastructure; and
WHEREAS, this storm drain system was constructed in 1975 and has now reached or
exceeded its practical service life: and
WHEREAS, Public Works Operations had previously repaired one pipe segment (Feature
ID 10724) on the north side of the road under the Bus Stop area; and
WHEREAS, because the storm drain system at this intersection is relatively shallow,
additional CMP failure was highly likely due to the inherent weakness of the deteriorated pipe
and heavy traffic loading; and
WHEREAS, Public Works Operations took temporary measures where necessary to
provide protection and safety in the interim until permanent storm drain system repairs could be
implemented: and

and contracted the services of the lowest responsive bidder, Arrieta Construction, Inc., to repair
the storm drain facilities; and
