BACKGROUND
Annually, a contract is let to clean and inspect one sixth (1/6 1h) of the Village's sewer catch
basins and inlets. This annual program helps minimize the potential for sewer flow restrictions
caused by clogged sewer structures. This program also provides an opportunity to assess the
structural integrity of inlets and catch basins on a scheduled basis. The proposed agreement is
for a 2 -year term concluding at the end of 2012, with a possible one year extension based on
performance. Prices are to remain firm (no increases) throughout the 2 -year term. If an
extension is granted, prices will remain unchanged through the extended term as well.

inlet cleaning contract. This year's target area is from Mount Prospect Road to Busse Road and

sewer catch basins and 250 inlets to be cleaned. Ten invitational bids were mailed, and a bid
