Summary
A single bid for sewer/pipe camera inspection and jet-cleaning services was reviewed; council tabled action to seek another bid after the vendor encountered an obstruction during initial work.
The Clayton Town Council reviewed a single bid from FWS for a camera inspection that included jet-cleaning services and related equipment, but tabled the item to allow time to gather a second bid.
Council members said the contractor began a camera inspection and encountered an obstruction requiring jet cleaning. Staff described the work items included in the bid as “jetpack service, hourly support vehicle, easement machine, and then the telepack,” and confirmed the vendor was able to remain 20 feet from the obstruction. The council asked about vendor availability and whether the situation constituted an emergency; members agreed to seek an additional bid for comparison.
Nut graf: Because only one bid was available and the initial inspection ran into a blockage, the council postponed awarding the job and asked staff to solicit another bid before taking further action.
Discussion recorded in the transcript did not identify a formal motion to reject the bid; the council’s stated outcome was to table the item pending another bid. No contract award or vendor was approved in the provided meeting record.
Ending: Staff was asked to obtain at least one additional bid and to report back at a future meeting; no schedule for resubmission was specified in the transcript.
