Utility board approves $33,000 contract for trenchless inspection of downtown wastewater lines
Summary
The board authorized AIMS Companies for pre-construction cleaning and video inspection of wastewater lines near the 9th grade center at an amount not to exceed $33,000, with staff saying the work will take about two weeks and inform a future construction contract.
Bill Smith, presenting the item for Water Utilities staff, described a pre-construction scope to clean and video-inspect older sanitary lines identified for replacement due to infiltration and frequent stoppages. He said the recommended trenchless methods (CIPP or pipe bursting) reduce surface impacts — important where lines run under backyards or parking areas — and that the inspection work will produce contractor recommendations that could lead to a construction contract.
"This contractor will give us recommendations of that trenchless method to install these lines," Bill Smith said. The board moved to approve the AIMS Companies pre-construction services agreement for up to $33,000 to be paid from wastewater rate revenues; staff estimated the inspection work will take about 14 days and that subsequent construction would be brought forward if a replacement method is selected.
