Kenosha water board awards $322,833 sewer televising contract to Aquilus
Summary
The Kenosha Board of Water Commissioners approved a $322,833.06 contract to New Restoration and Recovery Services LLC (doing business as Aquilus) for sanitary sewer televising work, citing preventative maintenance and competitive bids that came in under budget.
The Kenosha Board of Water Commissioners on Feb. 10 approved Award of Contract 2025-01-S to New Restoration and Recovery Services LLC, doing business as Aquilus, for $322,833.06 to perform commercial sanitary sewer televising and related collection-system maintenance.
Utility staff described the project as preventative maintenance intended to expand the utility’s sewer televising and cleaning program. A utility staff member said, “this is kind of a kind of preventative maintenance type of work. We're trying to get more aggressive on our sewer televising and cleaning process on our collection system,” and noted the three lowest bids were within about $30,000 of each other and that the winning bid came in below the budgeted amount.
The board moved and seconded the award and approved it by voice vote. The motion was carried by voice; the transcript records affirmative “ayes” and the chair recorded an affirmative vote. Individual roll-call votes were not recorded in the transcript.
The contract is intended to allow the utility to accelerate inspection and cleaning of its sanitary sewer lines. Staff said the more aggressive televising program will inform future maintenance priorities and reduce longer-term repair costs. The board did not attach new conditions to the award. The board also approved routine minutes and disbursements earlier in the meeting.
