CC Regular Session Meeting Date: Primary Strategic Plan Initiative: 5. 8. 06/23/2026 Address infrastructure needs. Title: Adopt Resolution #26-146 Accepting Sewer Cleaning and Televising Proposals for 2027 Pavement Management Program Projects Purpose/Background: Purpose: The purpose of this case is to adopt Resolution #26-146 accepting proposals and awarding contracts for sewer cleaning and televising for 2027 Pavement Management Program projects. Background: Testing of existing utilities, which includes sanitary sewer, storm sewer, and watermain is standard practice when designing street reconstruction projects. Newly paved streets in Ramsey are anticipated to have a 60-year life span, assuming proactive maintenance. Identifying damaged or failing municipal utilities under streets before they are reconstructed allows the required repair or replacement work to be completed as part of the street reconstruction project before the new pavement is placed, preventing costly pavement repairs after the fact. Sewer testing consists of first cleaning the pipe with a water jetter, then using a camera to televise the inside of the sewer pipes (sanitary and storm). Staff does not have the equipment needed to complete the televising work in-house, and staff generally does not have sufficient time to clean the sewer pipes in advance of being televised. Televising sewer pipes informs staff of the condition of the pipes, and locates existing damage, if present. This allows staff to include the required repair or replacement work for any damaged pipes into the street reconstruction plans, which is typically more cost-effective than doing repairs as standalone projects, or as change orders during the reconstruction project. Staff requested proposals for each reconstruction project from five (5) contractors known to perform this work. Proposals for each project were received from ()of the contractors, which are tabulated below. Contractor IP 25-08 IP 27-01 IP 27-06 American Environmental LLC $31,165.76 $12,725.00 $29,270.50 Hydro-Klean, LLC $44,573.29 $24,322.03 $68,039.90 Nelson Sanitation & Rental Inc. $34,406.10 $11,590.10 $23,148.70 American Environmental LLC submitted the lowest responsible proposal for IP 25-08. Nelson Sanitation & Rental, Inc. submitted the lowest responsible proposals for IP 27-01 and IP 27-06. Per the RFP, staff recommends awarding the contracts to the lowest responsible bidder for each subsequent project, rather than the lowest combined for all three projects. The Contractors are required to complete their work within 30 working days of the notice to proceed issued by the city. Notification:
