We recommend that the City Council authorize the purchase of 6" SDR-26 Class 160 PVC Pipe from MDN
Enterprises, of New Caney, Texas, for the unit costs stated below in bold, for a total of $8,162.
BACKGROUND
A project in Sabine Pass will require much more than our normal annual usage of 6" sewer pipe. We propose to
replace about a mile of existing 4" force main from the S. 15~ Ave. & Dowling L5 to Mechanic Street, where it
discharges into a gravity system before reaching the WWTP. This FM is an old, undersized pipe that has caused
a few permit violations due to leaks. The new pipe will reduce the pressure requirements on our lift station and
allow the use of smaller pumps/motors to deliver the same or greater capacity. This is the first major line project
recommended under our TCEO-required Sabine Pass SSES, which is still ongoing by City staff. Below are four
(4) quotes we received for this material:
