BACKGROUND:
On September 10, 2018, the Water Resources Department issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for cleaning and video inspection of gravity sewer lines. Two firms submitted proposals by the October 1, 2018 deadline. The firms who submitted a proposal were Hydrostructures, P.A. and Precision Measurements, Inc. (PMI Inc.) A selection committee comprised of internal and external representatives evaluated and scored the proposals submitted by each firm. The committee evaluated the submissions based on transmittal letter, description/understanding of the scope of services, experience and capabilities of key personnel, firm experience, equipment, schedule, current projects, cost of services and proposed M/WBE participation.

In addition, this contract will provide information that will help sewer evaluation services and support work needed for the street resurfacing program.
