(Hos Brothers is not a City contractor.) Hos Brothers installed piping, <br />fittings, and related water facilities routing municipal water in or around the Soundview <br />Technology Center. <br />On February 3, 2023, the City received notice that some Everett residents in the <br />Boulevard Bluffs Neighborhood were experiencing higher than normal water pressure, <br />which can cause damage to water heaters and similar items. <br />Upon investigation, it was found that the overpressure occurred after valves were <br />operated at the Soundview Project before the set point had been calibrated on the <br />water-supply line’s pressure reducing valve. The City and Hos Brothers dispute who is at <br />fault. <br />The proposed settlement agreement provides that the City and Hos Brothers will split <br />50/50 the cost of settling adjusted damage claims regarding the over-pressurization <br />event. <br /> <br />Recommendation (exact action requested of Council): <br />Authorize Mayor to Sign Over-Pressurization Settlement Agreement with Hos Bros <br />Construction Inc. <br /> <br />City Council Agenda Item Cover Sheet
