BOARD/COMMISSION REVIEW:
N/A
BACKGROUND:
The Department of Public Works (DPW) maintains the City’s system of storm sewers. Storm sewers have a functional lifespan of approximately 75 years. As storm sewer ages, the pipes develop cracks caused by material degradation, soil settlement, root intrusion, and/or adjacent construction. When a segment of storm sewer approaches the end of its useful life, the extent and severity of pipe degradation results in a high probability for pipe/system failure. Pipe failure may cause sinkholes in roadway surfaces and may also result in flooding of homes, businesses and/or public rights-of-way. The City has relined approximately 265,000 linear feet of pipe since the inception of the Storm Sewer Lining Program (SW017) in 2004, which has led to a reduction in localized flooding and related complaints.
DPW and the Water Utilities both have sewer lining programs. The programs are bid separately because the location and size of the pipe is different enough to affect pricing. The majority of DPW’s storm water system is in the right-of-way, while the Water Utilities has substantially more pipe being lined in residents’ yards, making it more difficult to perform the work.
In February 2025, the DPW issued Bid 25-032, Storm Sewer Rehabilitation (8”- 30” Diameter) Cured-In-Place Pipelining, for the rehabilitation of approximately 9,500 feet of storm sewer by the installation of cured-in-place pipe (CIPP). The contract includes a pre-inspection and cleaning of all pipes, the installation of CIPP, and the inspection of each installation by closed circuit television.
