The Agency hereby provides notice that it entered into an emergency contract per S.C. Code Ann. §11-35-1570 with Vendor for the following supplies, services, information technology, or construction:

Existing sewer line at Eastside High School is from original construction in 1969/70 and is clay terracotta pipe. Over the last several weeks, GCS plumbers have had to go to the school twice per week to unclog the sewer line due to sewage back-ups in the school. With the age and type of sewer pipe used, GCS plumbers believe the pipe may be collapsed or broken. Video of the line also leads them to believe this is valid. Without an immediate fix, this sewer line will completely fail, and the school will have to shut down until repaired.

Agency's justification for this emergency procurement may be viewed or obtained at: Agency Procurement Manager (Listed Above)
