Council approves cleaning and televising contract after staff warns quotes exceed budgeted spot‑repair funds
Summary
Council approved a combined sewer cleaning and televising project after staff reported two vendor quotes near $63,000 (budgeted $25,000). The contract will include video reports uploaded to the town’s GIS and staff will decide storage and scheduling details.
Council approved a contract to clean and televise portions of the sewer system after staff presented competing vendor quotes and recommended proceeding as part of a coordinated underground‑utility schedule.
Staff member (S4) said the original vendor quote came in at about $63,000 and a second vendor returned a similar figure; the town had budgeted $25,000 for spot repairs. Staff proposed setting aside funds from either the spot‑repair line or general fund balance and delaying work until it can be combined with the next major underground project.
Staff described the work as three sections of town (the Meadows and southern areas were cited) and said prior televising occurred in 2019; vendors can upload video and inspection reports to the town’s internal 'Diamond' GIS for maintenance records. Council discussed mobilization, potential extra charges for heavy root/debris obstructions and vendor experience; staff said prior vendors (Bender and Pipe Detectives) had performed satisfactorily on earlier work.
After discussion council moved and approved the proposal on voice vote. Staff said they will finalize vendor selection, confirm data storage options, and schedule spot repairs to align with upcoming Central Basin projects.
