The Board is requested to authorize the County Manager to enter into a contract amendment to increase the existing service contract with Carolina Civilworks, Inc.

The Utilities Division maintains approximately 112 miles of gravity sanitary sewer pipes, 10 miles of force main, 3,112 manholes, and 13 lift stations. Per the Collection System Permit, WQCS00038, the County is required to repair areas of concern as needed to ensure there are no sanitary system overflows (SSOs). A contract was put in place with Carolina Civilworks, Inc. for emergency and scheduled collection system repairs that include repairs to collection system equipment, piping and sewer lateral repair and installation. Emergency repairs frequently happen after hours, holidays, and during inclement weather.
This contract is funded from the Enterprise Fund's operating budget.
Alignment with Strategic Plan: This action is in accordance with Durham County Strategic Goal: "Sustainable Infrastructure & Environment," as this aids in the prevention of sanitary sewer overflows (SSOs) and/or lessens the impact to the environment. No additional policy impacts are expected.
