Set Public Hearing <br />For <br />CONTINUED TO <br />FILE NUMBER <br />Award a contract to JWC Environmental for one sanitary sewer trash grinder in the amount not to <br />exceed $58,000. <br />DISCUSSION <br />The Public Works Agency (PWA) Water Resources Division maintains the sanitary sewer system <br />consisting of approximately 390 miles of pipelines and 8,500 manholes. Maintaining a constant <br />flow is of the utmost importance as sewage travels through the City's sewer system. Large <br />objects that enter the system slow down the sewage and eventually clog or damage the pumps <br />at the sewer pump station. <br />The PWA evaluated the use of a sewer trash grinder to be installed into a channel/manhole as a <br />means by which to maintain the sewage flowing at an acceptable level and prevent the <br />impairment of sewer pumps. Through the evaluation, it was determined that the Channel <br />Monster Single Drum grinder met all of the Water Resources Division performance standards <br />and specifications. <br />The notice inviting bids was advertised on February 8, 2011, and bids were solicited. A summary <br />of the bid invitations and bids received is as follows: <br />4 Invitations For Bid mailed <br />1 Bids received from Santa Ana vendor <br />22C-1
