Surface Water Infrastructure Maintenance & Service Contract – Authorization to Bid Paul Bucich provided background information on the item. Committee Chair Dovey asked for the reason staff is going out to bid. Does staff feel that we could get a better price or possibly more services? Mr. Bucich responded by saying that the City has been very satisfied with the current provider, adding that even with rising fuel prices, the current provider has agreed to extend the term of the original contract without increasing the pricing several times since the contract was originally executed. On the other hand, since the Land Use/Transportation Committee Page 2 July 2, 2007 G:\LUTC\LUTC Agendas and Summaries 2007\11-19-07 LUTC Minutes.doc contract was executed in 2003, the City’s contract language has been updated and staff would like the agreement for these services reflect the City’s current contract language. There may also be other providers that could give the same or greater service at a competitive price. Staff realizes that a new contract may mean increasing the overall expense to the City, but it is also time to update the contract and reevaluate potential competitors to our current provider. Committee Member McColgan asked for Mr. Bucich to define “vactoring” and “jet rodding”. Mr. Bucich s described the vactor and jet rodding truck as a glorified vacuum cleaner. A long hose with different size adapters is run down the lines in a catch basin and flushes them with water. The hose then sucks all of the residual material up, cleaning the catch basin of build-up, corrosion, and potential contaminants to our stormwater system.
