In accordance with the City's Sewer System Management Plan and the State's waste <br />discharge requirements, the City must inspect, assess, and maintain the sanitary sewer system <br />in good repair. <br />Closed circuit television (CCTV) technology is commonly used to assess the condition of sewer <br />mains, identify sewer system deficiencies, and locate areas needing repair. To ensure and <br />maintain a satisfactory level of service and compliance with regulatory mandates, CCTV <br />technology is recommended to assess the City's sanitary sewer collections system. <br />In the past, the City has contracted with consulting firms to provide routine CCTV sanitary sewer <br />inspection services. As a result the City has identified and made numerous sewer repairs. <br />These repairs improve service levels and help prevent sanitary sewer spills from occurring. <br />Staff is requesting City Council approval to issue a request for proposal to qualified firms, <br />soliciting proposals to provide the necessary CCTV inspection services. <br />1 <br />19C-1
