BACKGROUND
The Orange County Sanitation District (OC San) owns approximately 4,483 manholes throughout the collection system in Orange County. OC San is responsible for regularly maintaining these structures, allowing safe access while maintaining a safe barrier for the public.
OC San's former supplier and Board Approved OEM vendor for manhole frames and covers is no longer in business.
RELEVANT STANDARDS
* Ensure the public's money is wisely spent
* Protect OC San assets
* Operate and maintain facilities to minimize impacts on surrounding communities, including odor, noise, and lighting
PROBLEM
Occasionally, manhole covers need replacement due to corrosion, wear from traffic, settling, age, or street repaving. Public safety requires worn manhole frames and covers to be repaired or replaced promptly. Corroded or worn manhole frames and covers may cause noise nuisances or safety risks by creating an uneven roadway surface transition. Cracked or broken covers could lead to potential roadway hazards and need to be promptly replaced.
