ON THE QUESTION
Mayor Donchess
For this we have, don’t we have Mr. Hudson on here?
Dan Hudson, City Engineer
Yes we do, City Engineer Dan Hudson. So this is the contract under which we have been doing CCTV
Inspection of sewer mains and also lining of sewer mains. In 2019 Kenyon was selected through a competitive
bid for work and we did a change order to that contract early in the spring and that was intended to take us
through the end of the year. What we are asking is another change order, a few more months into the spring,
we can bid out the contract for next year. But this work is important in continuing, we need to continue it so
that we can find the defects to line for next year’s rehabilitation and reconstruction program.
Mayor Donchess
Ok, questions, comments? Alderwoman Klee.
Alderman Klee
Thank you Mr. Mayor. This is actually just as | am reading it, it’s just a video inspection, this is not repairing
anything correct? We are not trying to fix anything, we are going to bid that contract in the spring. This is just
to inspect and see if there’s any defects or any issues, is that correct?
Mr. Hudson
You can do both things under this contract, we plan to focus on the video to get as much video as we can, but
if we come across that needs to be fixed then we certainly can do that lining of pipes. So we have the ability to
go either way. If we took this contract and we only did CCTV we'd be able to do like 28 miles. And if we only
lined pipes we’d do almost 2 miles. But it will be somewhere in-between, it'll be a balance but we are trying to
focus mostly on the CCTV.
