Sewer Cleaning: We acknowledge and accept the specified conditions outlined for the cleaning and CCTV inspection of sewers as part of the project scope. Our team is committed to ensuring that all sewers are cleaned thoroughly within 24 hours prior to conducting CCTV inspections, except when otherwise directed by the Engineer. Our cleaning process will comprehensively remove grease, roots, debris, and other obstructions to facilitate seamless CCTV inspection. We understand that all costs associated with the cleaning of sewers and sewer manholes, including water usage and fees related to obtaining and securing a hydrant water meter from the City, shall be our responsibility. We will adhere to the requirement of returning the water hydrant meter to the City every six months. Our team is equipped with a variety of nozzles and cutter heads, including high -velocity water jets and root cutters, to address the specific cleaning needs of each sewer section. We are committed to employing cleaning methods that will ensure the pipe is sufficiently clear to allow the camera to pass through and accurately document the structural and operational condition of the pipe. Should any CCTV inspection work be necessitated due to our failure to adequately clean the main, we understand that the associated costs will be borne entirely by our company. We will utilize a tablet PC with internet access to connect to the infraMAP® software, as provided by the City, to record the location of the cleaning operation and the conditions encountered for each cleaned section of sewer main. Our team will undergo training provided by the City to ensure proficient use of the infraMAP® software. Upon completion of designated work areas, digital video, logs, and other materials will be delivered as required. We understand that the City will use the comprehensiveness of the cleaning reports and the cleanliness of the pipe, as evidenced by the supplied video, to evaluate whether the pipe was cleaned sufficiently. We are aware that any costs related to re- cleaning an unreported or insufficiently cleaned main will be our responsibility. Sewer Main Television Inspection: We confirm our capability to conduct all CCTV inspections using WinCan VX Expert software for pipe survey reporting, ensuring detailed and standardized documentation of the sewer conditions. Our equipment is specifically designed for sewer inspection and adheres to the requirements outlined. We utilize cameras with optimal illumination and rotational abilities to maintain focus on the sewer's periphery, ensuring comprehensive inspection regardless of pipe diameter.
