Council reviews $13,870 sewer-repair quote from Bender Sewer and Drain LLC, takes no action
Summary
Staff presented a revised sewer-repair quote from Bender Sewer & Drain LLC for $13,870 addressing a few localized repairs; the council discussed delaying repair until the larger 2027 project and declined to take action at this meeting.
Staff presented a revised quote from Bender Sewer & Drain LLC for $13,870 to perform targeted repairs and heavy cleaning on sewer segments identified by camera inspection. The city engineer and council discussed the patch-repair approach versus waiting for a larger project scheduled in 2027.
One council member noted the repair would extend the life of the line and avoid an emergency excavation, while others questioned the benefit of spending money now that may be replaced in a few years. After discussion the council decided to take no action at this meeting; staff will monitor and bring further recommendations later.
Staff also outlined inspection and hourly rates should additional camera work be requested ($85/hour for labor, $225/hour for camera work) and said the revised quote reduced the scope to the worst three or four spots to avoid duplicative expense.
