Mount Prospect Public Works Department
INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
TO: VILLAGE MANAGER MICHAEL E. JANONIS
FROM: SUPERINTENDENT OF STREETS & BUILDINGS
DATE: JULY 31, 2013
SUBJECT: 2013 STORM SEWER TELEVISING CONTRACT (NOT TO EXCEED
$35,000)
BACKGROUND
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit system requires the village to
inspect and monitor all of its storm sewer system for possible sources of pollution. In the
current budget staff has budgeted to televise storm sewer segments to check their conditions and
to find any possible illegal connections. In conjunction with the televising a condition
assessment will be made of each pipe segment, which will allow staff to determine which sewers
may need repairs or warrant monitoring for future repairs. We will be starting in the industrial
and business parks then continuing in the residential areas with future inspections. This will be
an annual program and we hope to televise all storm sewers over the next 10 year period.

DISCUSSION
The low, qualified bidder, Pipe View America, Inc. took no exceptions to the bid specification
requirements. Pipe View America provided five references. All references submitted were
checked and all were favorable.
The unit prices are less than staff's anticipated estimate. Therefore, I recommend that we take
advantage of the lower than anticipated unit prices and add additional work not to exceed
$35,000.
RECOMMENDATION
I recommend acceptance of the lowest qualified bid as submitted by Pipe View America for the
2013 Storm Sewer Televising Contract in an amount not to exceed $35,000.
