The California Regional <br />Water Quality Control Board requires the City to regularly inspect and <br />assess the condition of sewer pipelines and manholes. Closed circuit <br />television (CCTV) technology is utilized to assess the condition of sewer <br />mains and identify system deficiencies. The City has historically <br />utilized consulting firms to provide CCTV inspection services. To date, <br />approximately 205 miles (53%) of the sewer system has been inspected <br />using CCTV technology. <br /> <br />Houston Harris PCS Inc. currently provides contract sewer video <br />inspection services to the City. They were selected as the top rated <br />firm during a 2004 selection process from among five firms and were <br />awarded an annual contract for $300,000 in October 2004 with a one-year <br />extension for an additional $300,000. <br /> <br />Houston Harris has provided exceptional service throughout the term of <br />the contract. They provide high quality digital video and data in a <br />format that interfaces well with existing City sewer data records. <br />Houston Harris has also responded in a timely manner to all city requests <br />for special and/or emergency video inspections. <br /> <br />25G-1 <br />
