Sanitary Sewer Cleaning and Televising 2024-2026
History
The Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago (MWRD) passed the Watershed Management Ordinance (WMO) and an amendment that requires sanitary sewer systems that discharge into the MWRD to implement measures to reduce excessive Infiltration and Inflow (I&I) from entering MWRD’s sanitary sewer treatment system.
In November of 2015, the Village Board approved the sanitary sewer consultant, RJN, Inc., to assist the Public Works Department in meeting the various compliance requirements articulated in MWRD’s WMO. The WMO mandates that the Village perform a sewer system condition assessment for excessive infiltration & inflow (I&I). The optimal solution to perform this task is by televising and cleaning the sanitary sewer pipes and manholes. Utility Division staff had performed the cleaning function in the years prior to 2016. Since 2016, contractors have been performing the cleaning function of areas that are prioritized by RJN Group. In 2019, the Utility Division added televising along with cleaning in the scope of work with contractor.
Village staff, with input from RJN, has identified high priority areas of the sanitary sewer system to perform both cleaning and televising. A Request for Proposals for the 2024-2026 Sanitary Sewer Cleaning & Televising Program work was published on BidNet Direct from April 5 through April 22, 2024. The details of the request are as follows: a three (3) year contract for light cleaning and televising, heavy cleaning, root cutting, and field marking location defects.
Through BidNet, four hundred thirty-two (432) entities viewed the solicitation, and six (6) vendors were sent a courtesy email. Eighteen (18) vendors downloaded at least one of the bid documents. Five (5) bids were submitted for consideration. Bids were opened and evaluated for completeness by Public Works staff.
