RE:

Set a bid date for Bid No. B1564 - UT1508 2015 Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation CIPP Project

 

History

The Integrated 2012 Wastewater Utilities Plan identified two programs for sanitary sewer rehabilitation, the Sewer Rehabilitation and Replacement Program and the Rapid Inflow/Infiltration (I/I) Reduction Program. These are multi-year plans to rehabilitate and remove I/I from the sanitary sewer system. Both Programs will use Cured-In-Place-Pipe (CIPP) as a main rehabilitation strategy.

 

Part of the Utilities Department’s efforts at I/I reduction is to repair/reconstruct existing sewer lines that are a source of I/I. CIPP is one of the methods used. The CIPP method involves lining the inside of an older deteriorated sanitary sewer main without excavation. Therefore, there is very little disruption above ground.

 

The Utilities Department has a multi-year plan to rehabilitate city owned infrastructure using this trenchless method. Line segments are selected for rehabilitation based on several factors. These factors include:

 

·         Known defects based on maintenance and TV inspection records

·         Pipe Age

·         Pipe Material

·         Presence of unused taps or connections that may contribute inflow/infiltration

·         Depth

·         Above ground conditions

 

CIPP is a cost effective method of sewer main rehabilitation when compared with other more invasive methods. As an example, the cost of 8-inch sewer main rehabilitation for this project is $22.50 per foot compared to open trench sewer replacement projects that have averaged more than $300 per foot for 8-inch sewer main.

 

Project Summary

The proposed rehabilitation project consists of, but is not limited to, the lining of 41,791

linear feet of sanitary sewer pipe between 6-inches and 36-inches in diameter. A total of 24,672 linear feet of this project is associated with Phase 2 of the Rapid I/I reduction program. Quantities of specific pipe sizes included in the project are summarized below:

 

 

The proposed sewer rehabilitation will be completed using water or air inversion CIPP technology, cleaning and closed circuit television inspection (before and after). An overview map of the project is attached.

 

UT1508 will also include a sanitary manhole rehabilitation project. The manhole rehabilitation project will be bid following the completion of this project in 2016.

 

Project Funding

Funding for the 2015 Cured in Place Pipe project will come from the 2015 Capital Improvement Plan I/I Improvements.

Set a bid date of January 5, 2016 for Bid No. B1564 - UT1508 2015 Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation CIPP Project.
