SUBJECT:
A resolution Awarding the 2019 Overlay Sanitary Sewer Televising contract to Visu-Sewer of Illinois, LLC of Bridgeview, Illinois.
PURPOSE:
The City of Aurora annually hires a contractor to televise specific sanitary sewers to detect any needed repairs prior to a roadway being resurfaced. In addition to the televising, a light cleaning of the sewers is done. This contract will be located throughout the City of Aurora.
BACKGROUND:
Televising the City sewers is the first part of the annual sewer maintenance program conducted by the City. Each year, sewers are cleaned and televised if they are known to have potential issues or are under roadways that will be rehabilitated in the near future. This televising provides useful information to the Engineering and Water & Sewer Divisions that cannot be seen when inspecting sewers from within manholes or other entry points. While reviewing the televising results, issues are identified and the proper solution is designed and implemented. Solutions such as sewer lining projects, sewer replacement or spot repairs are performed depending on the issues that are found during the televising. Depending on the scope of the work, these repairs are completed by the Water and Sewer Division or are completed by contractors hired using the City’s procurement process
DISCUSSION:
Visu-Sewer of Illinois' bid of one hundred ninety thousand, nine hundred and ninety dollars and zero cents ($190,990.00) was the lowest responsible bid of three (3) bids received. A tabulation of the bids is attached as Exhibit B. A copy of the formal invitation for bid posted in the Beacon News is attached as Exhibit A and a copy of the bid documents submitted by Visu-Sewer of Illinois is attached as Exhibit C. The 2017 Budget includes funding for sewer evaluation and rehabilitation within account No.510-4063-511-73-14.
IMPACT STATEMENT:
The televising and cleaning of the sewers will have minimal traffic impacts on the citizens of Aurora.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
I request the proposed resolution be adopted.
