4.j. Consider an ordinance renewing the 2018 Annual Waterline Rehabilitation
Project with SKE Construction, LLC, for an additional year.
Mayor DonCarlos noted that he would vote against the approval of this item as the entity acted
irresponsibly towards a City customer. He stated that SKE damaged a line that resulted in
Memorial Baptist Church's entire cooling system being filled with sand and although admitting
liability refused to pay for damages until the church was forced to sue them, in which they still
ended up not paying all of the damages.
Director of Engineering, Jose Pastrana noted that SKE Construction has proven to be a reliable
and responsible party in most cases, but obviously in this case they failed. He stated that staff
didn't know the interior details of the lawsuit otherwise they would have arranged for them to
pay the expenses. Mr. Pastrana stated that this contract is used for emergency repairs, in which
there are high priority lines in the city. He stated that SKE is not the only contractor, but noted
that this is one of the contracts that are already in place and things could be done expeditiously as
opposed to having to go through the bidding process which would take approximately two (2)
months to complete.
Council Member Hoskins recommended that consent agenda item 4.j. be pulled until after
further discussion with SKE Construction.
A motion was made by Council Member Robert C. Hoskins and seconded by Council Member
Laura Alvarado approving to suspend consent agenda item 4.j. to a meeting not to exceed
December 31, 2018. The vote was as follows:
