RESOLUTION NO. 84 -027 WHEREAS, the City of Paris has been experiencing failures as indicated on Exhibit "A" in a 24 inch concrete pipe being a part of the Central Interceptor which gravity flows approximately 6,918 feet from the intersection of West �-- Sherman and 12th S. W. Streets northward to a point near a creek immediately north of Park Street, as depicted on Exhibit "A ". This sewer receives approximately 1.2 MGD of raw sewage from the Woodard Lift Station and unquantified flows from lateral sewer main connections; and, WHEREAS, the Director of Engineering has throughly evaluated the condition of this pipe through many visual observations, television evaluation of a sample section, collection of actual pipe samples, and through monitoring the history and frequency of failures, and furthermore has investigated alternative methods of remedying the problems created by the poor condition of this pipe, such as a continuation of the point repair methods used since 19 /9, the abandonment and replacement of the pipe with a force main, or the physical cleaning of the pipe and subsequent insertion of a polyethylene slip liner, and has made the following determinations: significant annual expenditures have been made in attempting to make point repairs to this pipe and these can be expected to continue at increased frequencies; the current reliability of sewer service is not acceptable; the replacement of this line with a force main or the slip lining of this line with a polyethylene insertion, are not adequately reliable methods of correc- tion; and, therefore, this section of the Central interceptor must be repaired and restored by direct burial of a new pipeline so that the immediate need for reliable sewer service is satisfied; and, WHEREAS, such repair and restoration will require chlorination of raw wastewater by-passing into Baker's Branch at the cost estimate attached as Exhibit "B "; repair and restoration as described and at the cost estimate as shown on attached Exhibit "C "; and the total project is planned to be accomplished in accordance with the prelimi- nary schedule attached as Exhibit "D "; and, WHEREAS, during the repair and restoration of the Central Interceptor, its flow will be interrupted requiring that this project be completed in the shortest possible time and requiring the declaration of an emergency; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PARIS, that the repair and restoration of the Central interceptor is found to be and does justify the declaration of an emergency and the same is hereby declared; and, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the City staff is hereby ,—, authorized to exercise the emergency powers as the same ! relate to budgeting, expenditures, procurement and bid process with the only requirement being that the City Council of the City of Paris be kept abreast of the progress of the project.
