PURPOSE:
To treat sanitary sewers that have excessive root intrusion issues prior to performing additional repairs required within the next couple of years.
BACKGROUND:
Over the past four years, several areas of the City's sanitary sewer system have been televised and evaluated for necessary repairs. Two cost effective repair methods in lieu of a full sewer replacement are cured in place pipe lining or grouting depending on the severity of the pipe defect. A portion of the sewers slated for lining or grouting also have issues of root intrusion which must be addressed prior to lining or grouting operations. This contract will address those areas with root intrusion so that the lining or grouting operations can be performed before the severity of the defect deteriorates requiring the pipe to be replaced at a much higher cost.
DISCUSSION:
Bids were opened on March 1, 2017. The tabulation of the 2 bids received is attached as Exhibit A. The lowest bid in the amount of one hundred seventeen thousand, six hundred thirty-six dollars and thirteen cents ($117,636.13) was submitted by Dukes Root Control, Inc. The bid advertisement and Duke's Root Control, Inc. bid are also attached as exhibits B and C.
The sanitary sewer root control program will be funded with account 510-4063-511-73-14.
IMPACT STATEMENT:
Residents will not experience a disruption to their sanitary service during treatment of the roots in the sanitary sewers.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
I request the proposed resolution be adopted.
