Please note: This is a Sole Source Notification. emergency procurement to Blue Collars, LLC for emergency plumbing/sewer services. Toilets and showers at the Alumni House and Wellness Center Buildings have been closed since January 17, 2024, due to an unknown sewer blockage impacting both buildings. Blue Collars was contacted to assess the issue. After significant tracing and digging in collaboration with the City of Charleston Sewer Department, they located a buried manhole in the Alumni House parking lot that MUSC was unaware of. The manhole had multiple tree roots growing into it and was blocked with large pieces of asphalt; due to this significant blockage, sewage accumulated under the buildings. The blockage threatens public health and must be repaired to prevent further contamination.
