The PWA’s Water Resources Division oversees and maintains the daily <br />operations of the City’s water and sanitary sewer systems. The Division is requesting to <br />purchase three portable restroom trailers to replace existing equipment that has <br />exceeded its useful life. The portable restroom trailers are regularly deployed to job <br />sites by both the water and sewer maintenance crews while performing work in the field. <br />The PWA’s Maintenance Services Division is responsible for the maintenance of <br />approximately 400 miles of streets and 50,000 street trees, including emergency <br />response during severe/inclement weather and other natural disasters. The Division is <br />requesting to purchase two portable restroom trailers, which will be new additions to the <br />Maintenance Services fleet. Portable restroom trailers will be utilized by maintenance <br />crews working in the field at job sites, as well as in emergency situations at long-term <br />work sites. Deploying these portable trailers will enhance the efficiency of the <br />maintenance crew, as they will no longer need to spend time searching for public <br />restrooms when the need arises. <br />The Invitation for Bids (IFB) No. 23-066 was advertised on April 17, 2023, on the City’s <br />online bid management and publication system.
