Report
Summary
The purpose of this project is to eliminate infrastructure defects and increase system reliability. The project includes sewer infrastructure replacement and/or rehabilitation, resulting in additional years of useful life. Rehabilitated pipe segments also reduce cleaning and root removal frequency.
Insituform's services include, but are not limited to: rehabilitation of approximately 161,000 feet of primarily 8-inch to 15-inch diameter vitrified clay sewer pipe within the City wastewater collection system. Rehabilitation will include installation of cured-in-place-pipe lining, performance of cleanout, removal or replacement; manhole repair; lateral reinstatement; and odor control.
This agreement is essential to the health, safety, and welfare of the public and critical operations for the City.
