herbicidal foam to control tree root growth.
BACKGROUND:
Public Works televised approximately 60,000 feet of Sanitary Sewer pipe to monitor the
condition and detect problems within the sewer pipe.
Sewer televising has made us aware of several sections of sanitary sewer that tree root invasion
has caused or could potentially cause sewer back-ups,
Beginning in 2000 Public Works has annually contracted with Duke's Sewer Root Control
Specialists and they have successfully controlled root growth using an herbicidal root foam.
Dukes has submitted the lowest price per treated foot and Public Works is recommending to
continue to use this service.
Public Works is requesting to treat approximately 25,000 feet of sanitary sewer. Staff has
received three quotes for this service and is requesting to hire Duke's Sewer Root Control
Specialists with the low quote of$39,750.00. See attached quotes.
