RECOMMENDED ACTION
Direct the City Attorney to prepare and authorize the City Manager and
the Clerk of the Council to execute an amendment to the agreement with
Houston Harris PCS Inc. for a two-year term extension in the amount of
$300,000 per year for television inspection of sanitary sewers.
DISCUSSION
The City owns and maintains a sanitary sewer collection system consisting
of 390 miles of pipelines and B,300 manholes. The California Regional
Water Quality Control Board requires the City to regularly inspect and
assess the condition of sewer pipelines and manholes. Closed circuit
television (CCTV) technology is utilized to assess the condition of sewer
mains and identify system deficiencies. The City has historically
utilized consulting firms to provide CCTV inspection services. To date,
approximately 205 miles (53%) of the sewer system has been inspected
using CCTV technology.
Houston Harris PCS Inc. currently provides contract sewer video
inspection services to the City. They were selected as the top rated
firm during a 2004 selection process from among five firms and were
awarded an annual contract for $300,000 in October 2004 with a one-year
extension for an additional $300,000.
Houston Harris has provided exceptional service throughout the term of
the contract. They provide high quality digital video and data in a
format that interfaces well with existing City sewer data records.
Houston Harris has also responded in a timely manner to all city requests
for special and/or emergency video inspections.
