FYI - just wanted to drop some good news. As you may recall, the City and FL City Gas (FCG) have been involved in a dispute regarding a sewer main under Lincoln Ave. damaged by FCG crews Last Friday the City and FCG resolved the dispute and a Settlement Agreement has been prepared for execution. A few months ago FCG crews were direct boring a gas line and accidentally drilled through the sewer main. The City immediately made a temporary repair. But since the old clay sewer main had previously been slip-lined, there was no way to assure the leakproof integrity of the sewer main with a partial/temporary repair. Consequently a larger repair was needed, this one would replace the sewer main from manhole to manhole and reconnect all off the several laterals along the way. The City made FCG aware of all of this. The larger repair was made and the sewer main’s integrity was restored. Reimbursement costs were established at $140K for both the temporary repair and the larger repair. FCG balked and only offered to pay the temporary repair costs ($20K). The City demanded full payment. A dispute ensued and went on for several weeks. Last Friday FCG agreed to pay the full $140K. I want to thank Melinda and Anthony’s firm for their assistance bringing this item to closure. Their passion and dedication keep our City running smoothly.
