City Council Regular Meeting

Meeting Date:

07/27/2021

BACKGROUND

As a part of the City’s approved budget, the Public Works Water/Wastewater Department is scheduled to purchase a sewer main inspection camera in FY 2021. Under our inflow & infiltration program, being able to see the inside sewer pipe condition is invaluable when making repair and replacement recommendations for broken and dilapidated sewer lines.

GOAL

To purchase a sewer main inspection camera.

COMMUNITY BENEFIT

Use of the sewer main camera will allow city crews to pinpoint problem areas before they become larger issues that add to repair/maintenance costs. Also, this camera enhances Schertz' inflow & infiltration program through preventative maintenance and identifies opportunities to reduce unwanted inflow & infiltration into the sewer system that results in higher pumping and potentially inadequate capacity.

SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDED ACTION

Staff recommends Council approve Resolution 21-R-71 authorizing the City staff to enter into a purchase agreement with Aries Industries Inc. in the amount of $72,931.00 purchased through BuyBoard.

FISCAL IMPACT

This project will be funded from current budgeted funds approved by City Council for the FY 2020-2021 budget.

RECOMMENDATION

Staff recommends Council approve Resolution 21-R-71 authorizing the City staff to enter into a purchase agreement with Aries Industries Inc., through BuyBoard, in the amount of $72,931.00.
