A water main failure on Wedge Lane in late July prompted an emergency repair of the roadway in late October costing the city $240,700, which the city council approved last week.
On July 29, the city’s utilities department identified a water main failure along Wedge Lane that required immediate excavation and repair to prevent further damage. After the damaged water line was repaired, the road needed structural reconstruction, including replacement of the aggregate base and asphalt paving, according to a staff report on the incident.
Due to the immediate need to reopen the road and restore public safety, city staff solicited an emergency proposal from A & K Earth Movers, Inc. and Q & D Construction, two qualified local contractors with active Nevada Class A & B licenses. A & K Earth Movers was the only company to respond to the request for proposals, citing a cost of $240,700, the staff report said.
The road repairs were completed on Oct. 27 and the council approved the repair cost at its Nov. 19 meeting.
