BACKGROUND:
In 2017 the City began a comprehensive Sewer Rehabilitation Program to restore the structural integrity of the sewer system, reduce inflow and infiltration, and reduce basement back-ups and sanitary sewer overflows. Year seven of the program will be completed in 2023 and includes the sanitary sewer rehabilitation in the Bridal Wreath Acres neighborhood. The sewer rehabilitation recommended for this neighborhood includes cured-in-place pipelining, manhole rehabilitation, sewer grouting, and T-liner service rehabilitation. Bridal Wreath Acres was selected as a priority area for rehabilitation due to the high peak flows observed during the 2020 Westside flow monitoring project and because the area is known to have basement backups after significant rain events. This project is part of the City's continuing efforts to remove clear water from the sanitary sewer system and improve the structural integrity of the City's underground infrastructure.
In 2021, the City prepared a request for qualifications for the sewer rehabilitation program. Three (3) proposals were received, and three (3) firms were interviewed. Upon review of the qualifications, RJN Group Inc. was selected as the most qualified firm to manage the City's sanitary sewer investigations and rehabilitation program. The Public Service Committee reviewed this memo at the July 18, 2022, meeting and recommended for approval by Full Council.

RJN Group Inc. has provided a proposal to complete the design for the 2023 Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation Program in an amount not-to-exceed $74,990.00. The design scope of work includes engineering design, preparing bid documents, and bidding assistance.
