Sanitary Sewer Cleaning and Televising 2019-2020 - Bid Award
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 MWRDs WMO. The WMO mandates that the village perform a sewer system condition assessment for excessive infiltration & inflow. 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. The last three years (2016 - 2018), the Utility Division utilized a contractor to perform the necessary cleaning in conjunction with televising.
Village staff, with input from RJN, has identified high priority areas of the sanitary sewer system to perform both cleaning and televising. RJN worked with staff to develop specifications, cost estimates and other bid documents for the 2018 through 2020 project. This project went out to bid in 2018 for a three year contract. Due to performance related issues the contract was canceled after one year. RJN and staff developed a bid for the remaining 2 years (2019 - 2020).
