Explanation
This legislation is to authorize the purchase, installation and training of one (1) Lateral Inspection Unit for use with an existing Telemonitoring Inspection Truck for the Public Utilities Department, Division of Sewerage and Drainage. The funding requested on this legislation is based on a quote dated August 10, 2010 and is the State of Ohio contract pricing. The quotation is on file with the Purchasing Office and attached to this legislation. The equipment will be used by crews at the Sewer Maintenance Operations Center in conjunction with our telemonitoring trucks in the SLIRP (Sewer Line Inspection and Rehabilitation Program) section. The lateral line connects from the property to the sewer lines and there is a need to inspect the line and determine maintenance needs. The equipment is used to enable the operator to perform a one pass video inspection of the mainline and adjacent laterals with the forward pan & tilt camera and lateral inspection camera launched from the mainline and includes lateral footage.
The purchase of this equipment will be in accordance with the current State of Ohio State Term Schedule Contract (STS), Contract Number STS800001 which expires on March 31, 2014. The City of Columbus does not include this type of equipment on any Universal Term Contract. This equipment will be used with existing Cues equipment. The City of Columbus does not foresee receiving better pricing than that being offered on this State of Ohio contract.
