Approve a Purchase Order in the Amount of $175,572 to The Charles Machine Works,
Inc. for Sewer Lining Tools (Specification No. 23-023) (Non-General Fund)
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Authorize a one-time purchase order to The Charles Machine Works, Inc. for the
purchase of sewer lining tools, in the amount of $146,310, plus a contingency of

DISCUSSION
The Public Works Agency Water Resources Division oversees the City’s Sewer Lateral
Repair Program. There are over 45,000 privately owned sewer laterals in the City,
which convey sewage from homes and businesses to the main public sanitary sewer
collection system. The Sewer Lateral Repair Program provides the repair or
replacement of sewer laterals from the edge of the property owner’s property line to
where it connects to the public sewer main in the street. Staff assigned the sewer crew
to perform these sewer lateral repairs and replacements on a daily basis.
The Water Resources Division is seeking to purchase Bluelight Light-Emitting Diode
(LED) cured-in-place-pipe (CIPP) lining system, accessories, and tools for lateral
repairs. The specially formulated resin only cures under light in the “blue” wavelength,
giving City staff longer working time between liner wet-out and curing. Sewer lateral
lining is an additional method of trenchless repair, further limiting roadway excavation
and consequently reducing inconvenience to the public.
The Notice Inviting Bids was advertised on February 1, 2023, on the City’s online bid
management and publication system. One bid was received, opened on February 22,
2023, and evaluated. The bid received from The Charles Machine Works, Inc. is
responsive to the specification and meets the City requirements.
