INTRODUCTION:
Public Works is requesting to treat approximately 15,000 feet of Sanitary Sewer with herbicidal
foam to control tree root growth.
BACKGROUND:
Public Works televises approximately 75,000 feet of sanitary sewer pipe annually 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 herbicidal root foam. Dukes
have submitted the lowest price per treated foot and Public Works is recommending continuing
to use this service.
Public Works is requesting to treat approximately 15,000 feet of sanitary sewer. Staffhas
received two quotes for this service and is requesting to hire Duke's Sewer Root Control
Specialists with the low quote of$1.59 per lineal foot. See attached quotes.
Total estimated cost to come out ofthe sanitary sewer fund $24,000.00.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Accept the low quote from Duke's Sewer Root Control Specialists to provide sanitary
sewer root control at a cost of $1.59 per lineal foot, with payment to be expended
from the Sanitary Sewer Fund.
2. Deny the request.
3. Table for additional information.
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Accept alternative # 1.
ACTION REOUESTED:
Authorize staff to contract with Duke's Sewer Root Control Specialists for the price of$1.59 per
lineal foot for sanitary sewer root control, with payment to be expended from the Sanitary Sewer
Fund.
