DEPARTMENT: Water Utilities
SUBMITTED BY: James Holzapfel, Director
BOARD/COMMISSION REVIEW:
N/A
BACKGROUND:
The Water Utilities issued Bid 18-141 seeking a vendor to rehabilitate 21,381 feet of sanitary sewer pipeline and grout 38 sanitary service laterals using low or no dig lining technologies. The Water Utilities specified low or no dig technologies to reduce cost and disruption to the community. Sanitary sewer pipeline lining is a major component of the Utility’s strategy to reduce system leaks associated with storm water inflow and ground water infiltration through pipe cracks and fissures, which reduces sanitary system capacity during wet weather events. Lining the sanitary sewer provides a seamless, leak-free pipe that will maintain structural integrity for over 50 years. Reducing leaks and preserving system capacity helps reduce the number and severity of sanitary sewer back-ups.
To secure the lowest possible pricing, this bid specified two competing lining technologies, Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP) and Cured-In-Place Thermosetting Resin Pipe (CIPP).
