DATE: March 23, 2026
SUBJECT:
A resolution authorizing the Director of Purchasing to execute a contract with Insituform in the amount of $1,344,479.50 for the 2026 Sanitary Sewer CIPP Lining Project.
PURPOSE:
To rehabilitate the existing sanitary sewer mains throughout the City by cured in place pipe (CIPP) lining. Proactively lining sewers is a standard maintenance activity that prevents pipe failure/collapse. This activity avoids not only the issues related to non-functioning sewers, but also the significantly higher costs associated with open-cut repairs and mainline replacement.
BACKGROUND:
The locations of the sanitary sewer lining can be seen in the attached Exhibit A - Full and Spot Liner Overall Map. Closures of entrances to the businesses and residences will be kept to a minimum during construction.
DISCUSSION:
The proposed improvements have been publicly advertised and bid in conformance with City procedures. Four conforming bids were received and were opened on February 25, 2026. The low bid in the amount of $1,344,479.50 was submitted by Insituform. Insituform has performed well when providing these services to the city on previous contracts. The bid documents, Insituform's bid, and the evaluation tab are attached as exhibits B, C and D.
The necessary funds for this contract are available in account 510-4063-511-73-14 (CIP IB018) which has a 2026 budget amount of $2,500,000.
This project was subject to the Local Preference Ordinance, however no local contractors submitted.
IMPACT STATEMENT:
Impacts on traffic and residents will be kept to a minimum.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
I request the proposed resolution be adopted.
