AND INLET CLEANING CONTRACT ($38,750)
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 2015, 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.

Sealed bids were opened at 1:00 P.M. on April 28, 2014 for the proposed sewer catch basin and
inlet cleaning contract. Nine invitational bids were mailed, and a bid notice was placed in the
local paper.
