A recent video inspection has revealed <br />that the existing pipe is in critical condition and has failed in several <br />sections along the proposed project area. The pipe walls have <br />experienced severe cracking and have soil exposure due to root intrusions <br />that have damaged both the integrity of the pipe and the sanitary sewer <br />system. The most expeditious and cost effective solution in this <br />instance is to rehabilitate the system by installing a trenchless pipe. <br />There are limited contractors who have the knowledge, experience, and <br />equipment to do this type of work, as it is very specialized. Staff was <br />able to locate six firms in the Southern California region who can meet <br />the specifications and qualify to do this job. Invitations to bid were <br />sent to these firms. <br />Four firms submitted bids. Two bids were disqualified for failure to <br />submit the required certifications. The remaining two bids are tabulated <br />below. <br />Firm City Bid Amount <br />Mocon Corporation Indio, CA $39,744 <br />GCI Construction, Inc. Costa Mesa, CA $49,850 <br />The lowest bid was submitted by Mocon Corporation for $39,744 which is <br />below the Engineer's estimate of $69,060. <br />23D-1 <br />
