CONSIDER APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION ACCEPTING BIDS AND
AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR AND CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE THE CITY'S
STANDARDIZED CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT FOR THE 2009 CIPP SANITARY
SEWER LINING PROJECT
Introduction
The purpose of this agenda item is to seek City Council approval of bids and
authorization for the Mayor and City Manager to execute the City's Standardized
Construction Contract with Visu-Sewer Clean and Seal, Inc. for the 2009 CIPP
Sanitary Sewer Lining Project.
Historv
On April 6, 2009, the City Council approved a resolution authorizing advertisement
of bids for the 2009 CIPP Sanitary Sewer Lining Project. The project was
advertised in both the Prior Lake American and the Construction Bulletin.
Current Circumstances
The City received three bids for the 2009 CIPP Sanitary Sewer Lining Project.
Contractor Visu-Sewer Veit Michels Pipe Services I
Mobilization $1.500.00 $3,000.00 $4.000.00 I
I Anna Trail Easement $25.835.15 $25,795.00 $34.665.00 I
I Sycamore Trail Easement $26,150.00 $24,200.00 $35,070.00 I
I Credit River Rd/CSAH 21 Easement $29,996.00 $29,192.00 $26,252.00 I
I Total $83,481.15 $84.187.00 $99.987.00 I
The bids were solicited as an indivisible project. In other words the city cannot se-
lect the best bidder under each category and subdivide the project into three to get
the best prices.
Conclusion
City staff has checked current industry pricing and believes the proposed bid costs
are fair. City Staff have considerable experience working with Visu-Sewer on sani-
tary sewer repairs and televising and believe it is a reputable and experienced con-
tractor.
ISSUES: In order to preserve the useful life of the sanitary sewer lines the City has a
schedule for televising lines to check for cracks or other signs of deterioration. The
City uses a technique that involves lining the sanitary sewer on the inside with a
material that provides additional structural integrity to the sanitary sewer while
sealing leaking joints and improving flow efficiency. Ignoring compromises in the
structural integrity of the pipe is not an option. Failure to continue to line sanitary
sewers could result in substantial repairs that will require costly excavation in
existing City streets and increase sewage treatment costs from the Met Council.

While exact life expectancy of line sewers is unknown, the City expects them to last
50 years or more if the correct methods are used.
FINANCIAL
IMPACT:
The use of sewer lining reduces City costs for sewer repairs to about one-third of
traditional excavation methods. The City has budgeted $130,000 in the Sewer Util-
ity Fund for lining repairs in 2009. The funds to cover the lining expenses shall
come from the Sewer Utility Fund (601-49005-501) for a total cost of $83,481.15.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Approve a resolution accepting the bids and authorizing the Mayor and City
Manager to execute the City's Standardized Construction Contract with Visu-
Sewer Clean and Seal, Inc. for the 2009 CIPP Sanitary Sewer Lining Project.
2. Table this agenda item for a specific reason.
3. Deny this agenda item for a specific reason and provide staff with direction.
