INTRODUCTION:
Public Works has received two quotes for the television inspection of 60,000 linear feet
of main line sewer.
BACKGROUND:

sanitary sewer system. Part of that policy requires the television inspection of sanitary
sewer mains every 10 years. Staff is requesting to televise 60,000 linear feet which is
10% of the City's system. Television inspection allows staff to identify any defects such
as tree root growth, off-set joints, protruding taps, sags, and cracks which could
potentially cause a blockage or collapse in the system.
Staff has received two quotes and is requesting council authorization to approve and
accept the low quote from Hydro-Vac, Inc. for the quoted price of $0.375 per linear foot.
The total cost for televising 60,000 linear feet is $22,500.00.
AL TERNA TIVES:
1. Accept the low quote from Hydro-Vac, Inc. for $0.375 per linear foot to televise
60,000 linear feet of sanitary sewer mains.
2. Do not accept the low quote.

Authorize staff to contract with Hydro- V ac, Inc. for the television inspection of 60,000
linear feet of sanitary sewer main at a cost of $0.375 per linear foot with funding to be
expended from the Sanitary Sewer Fund. ~,~~
