Title
Two-Year Renewal of the Term Contract for Wastewater Collection System Cleaning and Closed Circuit TV Inspection and Recording for the Water Resources Department (Citywide)
This contract provides a qualified contractor for pipeline cleaning and closed circuit television inspections of wastewater lines of various sizes throughout the City. The City furnishes the contractor, at no cost, a set of quarter section maps that clearly indicate the location of and size of the wastewater line to be cleaned or inspected. All sewer pipeline segments must be cleaned mechanically or by hydraulic jetting prior to any Closed Circuit Television inspection and recording. After the completion of work, the contractor must provide a marked up copy of the map indicating the lines that were cleaned and/or inspected, type and location of debris found, and any problem locations (e.g. pipe sags, blockages, etc.).
Water Resources recommends a two-year renewal, because, over time, the contractor gains knowledge regarding the layout and configuration of the collection system, and how our many diversion structures work so that flows are diverted properly during the inspection process. This knowledge enables the contractor to perform more efficiently and therefore with less costs to the City.
Water Resources and Purchasing recommend authorizing a two-year renewal with Professional Pipe Services - ProPipe, at $265,000 annually, based on estimated requirements.
