Public Works Director / City Engineer <br /> <br />SUBJECT: Sanitary Sewer Root Treatment <br /> <br /> Budgeted Amount: Actual Amount: Funding Source: <br /> $9,500 $14,633.76 Sanitary Sewer Fund <br /> <br />Council Should Consider <br /> <br />Motions to approve, table, or deny the following: <br /> <br />• Proposal and Quote for Duke’s Sewer Line Root Control Service in the amount of <br />$14,633.76. <br />All items need a simple majority for action unless otherwise noted. <br /> <br />Background/Discussion <br /> <br />Public Works staff has completed annual sewer cleaning and televising and has identified 8,508 <br />feet of 8-inch sanitary sewer main that needs to be treated for tree roots that are present in the <br />pipes. This is a maintenance effort completed every 18 to 30 months for tree roots present in the <br />pipes to be removed and treatment applied to deter future growth. Attachment A is the proposal <br />received from Duke’s Root Control, Inc. and Attachment B is the quote for 2022 services in the <br />amount of $14,633.76 to complete the work. <br /> <br />Budget Impact <br /> <br />The 2022 Operating Budget for sanitary sewer includes funding in the amount of $9,500 based <br />on historical costs. The proposed work is over budget by $5,134. This work is necessary to <br />maintain the city infrastructure. The overage will be covered either through savings in other <br />areas of the budget or by fund balance.
