There are over 45,000 privately owned sewer laterals in the City, <br />which convey sewage from homes and businesses to the main public sanitary sewer <br />collection system. The Sewer Lateral Repair Program provides the repair or <br />replacement of sewer laterals from the edge of the property owner's property line to <br />where it connects to the public sewer main in the street. Staff assigned the sewer crew <br />to perform these sewer lateral repairs and replacements on a daily basis. <br />The Water Resources Division is seeking to purchase Bluelight Light -Emitting Diode <br />(LED) cured -in -place -pipe (CIPP) lining system, accessories, and tools for lateral <br />repairs. The specially formulated resin only cures under light in the "blue" wavelength, <br />giving City staff longer working time between liner wet -out and curing. Sewer lateral <br />lining is an additional method of trenchless repair, further limiting roadway excavation <br />and consequently reducing inconvenience to the public. <br />The Notice Inviting Bids was advertised on February 1, 2023, on the City's online bid <br />management and publication system. One bid was received, opened on February 22, <br />2023, and evaluated. The bid received from The Charles Machine Works, Inc. is <br />responsive to the specification and meets the City requirements. <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br />Funds are budgeted and made available in the following account for the specified year: <br />City Council 12 — 1 6/6/2023 <br />
