CITY COUNCIL AGENDA
ITEM NO. li
TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Public Works Department
SUBJECT: SEWER MAIN TELEVISING PROGRAM — AWARD OF CONTRACT NO.
3511
RECOMMENDATION:
1 . Award Contract No. 3511 to Professional Pipe Services (ProPipe) for a total
price of $110,295 and authorize the Mayor and the City Clerk to execute the
contract.
2. Establish an amount of $3,500 for additional and unforeseen work.
DISCUSSION:
In 1996, the City completed its Master Plan of Sewers. Though the City's sewer system
is in excellent condition compared to other agencies, the system should be reviewed
periodically via remote televising to identify any problem areas, as recommended in the
master plan. This televising program will be accomplished over a 4 year period, with
this year being the first. Any problem areas would be addressed in a future sewer main
improvement project by either replacement or internal lining. Some of the sewer mains
in the older parts of town were installed almost 50 years ago and are bound to show
some signs of deterioration.
Six firms were invited to submit proposals to provide sewer main televising services.
These firms were selected based on the recent studies of the Orange County Sanitation
District (OCSD). OCSD is planning to investigate their trunk system throughout the
County of Orange.
Five firms responded to the City s request for proposals:
• Professional Pipe Services (ProPipe)
• National Plant Services
• Innerliner Engineering
• California Pipeline Inspection
• Affordable Drain Service

The Utilities Director, Operations Manager, Wastewater Supervisor, and Public Works
Staff evaluated each firm's qualifications, resources and equipment, past experience on
similar projects, and availability. ProPipe presented the highest quality proposal of the
five received and was invited to demonstrate their equipment prior to making a
selection. Their personnel were professional and the equipment was state -of -the -art.
In fact, the City is proposing to buy the same equipment to replace an aging camera
and video inspection system.
As part of the Request for Proposal, a bid sheet was utilized to compare the firm's
abilities and cost to perform different services. ProPipe's cost of services were the
lowest. The second firm, Innerliner, is also very qualified and utilizes identical
equipment to ProPipe. Innerliner has worked for the City over the past few years on
small televising projects and has provided excellent service.
SCOPE OF SERVICES
The firm will televise approximately 200,000 linear feet of sewer main, or'/ of the City's
system. The 3 main areas of focus will be the Bluffs, Big Canyon, and Old Corona del
Mar as shown on the attached exhibits. Other problem areas throughout the City will
also be investigated with this first year contract. Each sewer main will be video taped
and then converted to digital images that will be downloaded to the City server for
archiving purposes.
It should be noted that ProPipe had originally bid 4 cents per linear foot to provide the
digital images of the video sewer information. During the interview process, they
offered to provide the digital information at no- charge.
Funds for this project are available in the Wastewater Enterprise Fund, Capital
Improvement Account No. 7533- C5600638, Sewer Main Televising Program.
