<br />\ <br /> <br />fl. <br /> <br />3. The vac jet truck has significant auxiliary uses for the Public Works and utility departments <br />such as the removal of sand and sediment from catch basins and water valves. It can also be <br />used to excavate loose sand material and hydroexcavate for locates when utilities may be <br />present. <br /> <br />It should also be noted the model policy states that sewers should be televised every ten years. <br />Contracted televising can be purchased at a rate of $0.50 per foot which would require an annual <br />expenditure for this service of $12,700. A camera can be purchased for an additional $30,000. This <br />equipment is anticipated to have a service life of ten years or an annual cost of $3,000. Assuming that <br />approximately 500 feet of sewer can be televised in an hour the labor cost for the city utility would be <br />$2,000 per year. Under this analysis the city would save $7,700 or 60% of the contracted cost of sewer <br />maintenance annually. <br /> <br />Attachments: <br /> <br />LMC Model Sanitary Sewer Policy <br />Jet Vac Truck Sample Quotation <br /> <br />Action Statement: <br /> <br />Recommend that council authorize the purchase of a jet vac truck and television equipment in an <br />amount not to exceed $330,000 with fimding to be provided $280,500 from the Sewer utility and <br />$49,500 from the Stonn Water utility <br /> <br />CCWS: <br /> <br />.
