��i � REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION Date: 1/28/13 Item No.: 7.i Department Approval City Manager App�oval � Item Description: Approve a Resolution Awarding Bid for 2013 Sanitary Sewer Main Lining BACKGROUND The majority of the city's sanitary sewer mains were constructed in the late 1950's and early 1960's, utilizing clay tile pipe. Over time the joints have failed allowing root intrusion. The pipe material is also susceptible to cracking and construction damage. The City started our sewer lining program in 2006 to rehabilitate the sewer mains and extend the life of our sanitary sewers by 50 years or more. Lining technology essentially installs a new resin pipe inside the old clay tile sewer main without digging up city streets, which results in minimal disruption to residents during construction. The liner pipe is inserted into the main through existing manholes and cured in place with a heat process. Each segment is typically completed in one working day. Service line connections are reopened using a robotic cutter and remote cameras. During the process, existing flows are bypassed using pumps. This technology also prevents infiltration of groundwater into the system and can be credited toward our Metropolitan Council Environmental services inflow/ infiltration surcharge. The 2013 Sanitary Sewer Main Lining Project includes lining for approximately 39,243 lineal feet (7.43 miles) in areas identified as having root intrusion or infiltration problems.
