ON THE QUESTION
Daniel Hudson, City Engineer
So this is that second type of sewer rehabilitation work we do. This is the cured in place pipe lining. So
through the video inspection or “CCTV” stands for “closed circuit television” inspection of pipes. When we find
pipes that are aging but still able to be lined, we line them which basically creates a new pipe inside the pipe
restoring the useful life of the pipe. That’s what this project is and includes quite a bit of CCTV work where
estimating about 80,000 feet of that and about 30,000 feet of lining. We did put this out to competitive bid this
because we’ve been using the previous contractor for a couple of years. So we put this out to bid and Green
Mountain Pipeline Services is the low bidder. The references check out and we’d like to award the work to
them.

Thank you Mr. Hudson. | just want to comment also for the Aldermen that are here that Donna did send us the
actual contract for the previous one and this last one. They were obviously agenda items but she did send us
a copy of the contracts today. So they are in your e-mail if you needed to look at them.
Are there any questions or comments?
Alderwoman Lu
Thank you. Mr. Hudson if you could just refresh my memory. | feel as though we just covered this a few
months ago. Is it because we did a change order from 2020? Do you think that’s what I’m thinking of?
Daniel Hudson, City Engineer
Yes so Alderwoman Lu | think what you’re thinking of is | brought before you about a $200,000 change order
with our previous CCTV contractor. Again that was to buy us a couple of months while we were awaiting the
sewer bond approval. So yes currently we will have these two contractors under contract. The previous
contractor has been continuing to work and that was necessary because of the association with the paving
work we’re doing. So yeah that’s probably what you were thinking of when that contract runs its term from the
previous, this new contract will be the one that we’re using.
Alderwoman Lu
Thank you for helping me refresh your memory. | appreciate it. I’m all set.
Vice-Chairman Klee
That was a great question Alderwoman Lu. It seems like every time we turn around there’s another change
order or something going on. So | appreciate that question. Are there any other questions? Seeing none.
