Summary & Background: This contract will provide sewer system cleaning and manhole camera inspection services.
Scope of Work: This contract will provide CCTV inspections of sewer lines and manholes, smoke testing, dye testing of the sanitary sewer collection system, and sewer system cleaning services by removing blockages from within the publicly maintained sanitary sewer lines for the Department of Public Works in the North and South Fulton sanitary sewer service areas.
Community Impact: This contract assists in keeping our sanitary sewers free from foreign materials (grease & debris) which often lead to sewer spills. The inspection of collection system will also assist us in identifying rainfall-derived infiltration and inflow (RDI/I) which can erode manholes and pipes, cause dirt and sand buildup, and uses up sewer capacity which can lead to blockage and structural defects. In addition, this contract will assist us in locating structural defects in our system.
Department Recommendation: The Department of Public Works requests approval.
Project Implications: This service ensures that sanitary sewer pipes are cleaned and maintained, preventing sewer spills and structural failure.
Community Issues/Concerns: None have been raised to Public Works staff.
