Title
Joint resolution authorizing a contract with Insituform Technologies USA, LLC, Orland Park, Illinois in the amount of $371,084 for the Rollins-Wilson 42-inch Transmission Sewer Lining Project.
Staff Summary
• The Northwest Regional Sewer System is made up of 12,400 linear feet of large diameter cement pipe constructed in the early 1970’s. Recent inspection has identified an area of critical deterioration, necessitating trenchless lining to extend the service life of this 50-year-old asset.
• This project will include the structural spray lining of 820 linear feet of pipe and the “blind” 90-degree bend that connects these two pipes to extend the service life of the two pipes and the connection point.
• The County received bids from two contractors for this work ranging from $371,084 to $667,700. Award of this contract is recommended to the lowest responsive responsible bidder, Insituform Technologies USA, LLC, in the amount of $371,084.
