Title
Request approval for spending $135,000 with AM-Liner East, Inc. for rehabilitation of sanitary sewer pipes throughout the service area.
Body
EXPLANATION AND SUMMARY:
The Department of Public Works requests approval in the amount of $135,000 to utilize Prince William County Service Authority Contract No. SA-1213. Under this contract, AM-Liner East, Inc. will rehabilitate deteriorated sanitary sewer using cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) liner. The sanitary sewer lining process involves cleaning the pipe, inserting a resin-impregnated fabric inside the sewer pipe, then steam-heating and expanding until cured. After inspection, a robot reconnects each private sewer lateral. The liner conforms to deviations in the pipe, and the slick surface makes up for the reduction in pipe diameter. The cured liner has a projected life of 50-100 years.
DPW has visually inspected these portions of pipe and has determined that they are in immediate need of repair. Without CIPP rehabilitation, there is an increased potential for failure in the aging pipes, which could lead to a potential service breakdown. Utilizing the contract listed above, DPW will be able to repair targeted areas within an expedited timeframe.
