Upon recommendation of Marqaicha Welch, Procurement Manager, the Board of Water Commissioners for the City of Detroit, Water and Sewerage Department, authorizes the Director to approve Amendment No. 1 for DWSD Contract No. 6004866 with Major Contracting Group, Inc. to provide (As Needed) Inspection & Repair of Cave-In Sewers In the City of Detroit (Project WS-965); by adding $1,500,000.00, for an amended total contract amount not-to-exceed $5,784,261.00 and extending the term by 135 days for a new term ending 6/30/25.

BACKGROUND & JUSTIFICATION
During the June Heavy Rain Events of 2021, the City of Detroit experienced a significant increase in sinkholes and cave-ins throughout the City of Detroit. Sinkholes are caused when the land above collapses or sinks into cavities or depressions. During the Summer 2021 Rain Events, DWSD’s transmission was overtaxed, due to the heavy rainfall in a short amount of time. DWSD needs to repair 91 sinkholes that were caused by heavy rain and flooding throughout the City of Detroit. The Contractor will perform CCTV, sewer clean and repairing of the sinkholes throughout the City of Detroit. During the repair process, dye tests via CCTV will be done to determine if any dye shows inside of DWSD sewer assets to determine liability.
Proposed Amendment #1 is to extend time and increase contract funding for Sewer Inspection, cave-ins & point repair workload demand.

This contract was initiated through requisition #500218 by DWSD Field Engineering and was approved by Budget on 8/19/22. This contract was procured as Competitive Solicitation and approved by the Director on 11/29/22.
