Suwanee authorizes emergency stormwater repairs on Ruby Forest Parkway

A pipe on Ruby Forest Parkway in Suwanee has failed causing a sinkhole that is threatening an adjacent home. The city has determined emergency action is needed to address the overall situation.

Under normal circumstances, the city’s bidding timelines would take several weeks or more to determine an appropriate vendor creating unreasonable delays for this type of emergency situation. Recognizing these repairs will be extensive, expensive and need to begin as soon as possible, the Suwanee City Council authorized city staff to temporarily suspend purchasing procedures. When and where possible, individual bids will be received and analyzed.
