Title
Resolution to Approve Amendment No. 1 to the General Services Agreement with Taplin Group, LLC to Perform Sewer Televising and Cleaning ($650,000.00 Amendment, $2,050,000.00 Contract Total, RFP #23-14)
Memorandum
Attached for your review and action is Amendment No. 1 to the General Services Agreement with Taplin Group, LLC to perform inspection and cleaning services for existing sanitary and stormwater infrastructure.
Public Works utilizes outside contractors to supplement in-house televising and cleaning operations performed on the sanitary sewer and stormwater systems. Televising is used to identify pipes needing repairs and locates blockages that require cleaning. This contract is also used to provide specialized inspection methods such as multi-sensor and sonar typically used for pipes that run very full or are large in diameter. Proactive system maintenance helps to prevent backups and ensures that the system continues to operate as designed.
City Council awarded a 2-year contract to Taplin Group, LLC and Rogue Industrial Services, LLC on May 1, 2023, R-23-138. These contracts are not-to-exceed $1,400,00.00 for each contractor. Rogue Industrial Services, LLC has been unable to supply the quantity of work necessary. Staff now requests Amendment No.1 to add an additional $650,000.00 to the Taplin Group, LLC contract for a total not-to-exceed contract in the amount of $2,050,000.00.
Budget/Fiscal Impact: Funding is available in the FY25 Sewage Disposal System Fund and Stormwater Fund Operations and Maintenance budgets and will be approved in subsequent annual budgets if so, approved by City Council.
