EMERGENCY WATERLINE REPAIR APPROVAL
City Council consider adopting a resolution declaring an emergency for the repairs to the
Grapevine water system, authorize staff to pay Wright Construction Company for
emergency repairs to the 20" waterline at Hall -Johnson Road and the northbound SH
121 frontage road in the amount of $47,075.62, and take any necessary action.
FUNDING SOURCE:
Funds are available in the Water Permanent Capital Maintenance Fund, account
number 200-43360-534-0
BACKGROUND:
The water line began leaking at the intersection of Hall Johnson Road and the
northbound SH 121 frontage road on November 7th. City staff responded and began
excavating in the southeast corner of the intersection. The leak was near the edge of
the concrete roadway pavement. The water line was approximately 12 feet deep. The
area had been excavated previously and the soil conditions were very unstable causing
the exposed walls of the excavation to cave into the excavated hole.
There were a large number of conflicting utilities in the immediate area. Oncor had a
large gas main and a large electrical pole in the immediate area of the excavation as
well as a traffic signal pole and mast arm. Due to the complexity of the repair, staff
made the decision to contact Wright Construction Company to seek their assistance with
the work.
Wright responded immediately on Saturday, November 8th at 9:00 a.m. and worked
around the clock until 9:00 p.m. Sunday night. Work was halted and resumed again
Monday morning and was completed Monday afternoon.

In
The repair was extremely complicated and required extensive shoring to make sure the
hole was safe while providing for very large excavation equipment. Oncor had to
support their electrical pole with a truck mounted boom for the entire repair time. We
took steps to support our traffic signal pole and mast arm to ensure they did not fail. The
gas line facility spanned the excavation area, was in constant conflict with the
excavation, shoring and repairs, and had to be supported across the open excavation by
Wright for the duration of the repair effort. The 20" PVC water line had a split in it just
south of the Hall -Johnson Road pavement edge that required that a section of the pipe
be cut out and replaced with new pipe.
We were fortunate that Wright Construction Company could respond so quickly after
being contacted and they performed the work in a very efficient manner. Without their
expertise, the leak could have undermined Hall -Johnson Road and caused electrical,
gas and signal failures.
This service was deemed an emergency due to unique circumstances and the potential
for damage to multiple utility systems in the area.
Staff recommends approval.
