CITY COUNCIL MEMORANDUM
| City Council Meeting: | July 27, 2021 |
| Department: | Public Works |
| Subject: | Resolution No. 21-R 71 - Consideration and/or action approving a Resolution by the City Council of the City of Schertz, Texas authorizing the city staff to enter into a purchase agreement with Aries Industries for the purchase of a sewer main camera. (C. Kelm/S. Williams/S. Mayfield) |
BACKGROUND
As a part of the City’s approved budget, the Public Works Water/Wastewater Department is scheduled to purchase a sewer main inspection camera in FY 2021. Under our inflow & infiltration program, being able to see the inside sewer pipe condition is invaluable when making repair and replacement recommendations for broken and dilapidated sewer lines.
GOAL
To purchase a sewer main inspection camera.
COMMUNITY BENEFIT
Use of the sewer main camera will allow city crews to pinpoint problem areas before they become larger issues that add to repair/maintenance costs. Also, this camera enhances Schertz' inflow & infiltration program through preventative maintenance and identifies opportunities to reduce unwanted inflow & infiltration into the sewer system that results in higher pumping and potentially inadequate capacity.
SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends Council approve Resolution 21-R-71 authorizing the City staff to enter into a purchase agreement with Aries Industries Inc. in the amount of $72,931.00 purchased through BuyBoard.
FISCAL IMPACT
This project will be funded from current budgeted funds approved by City Council for the FY 2020-2021 budget.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends Council approve Resolution 21-R-71 authorizing the City staff to enter into a purchase agreement with Aries Industries Inc., through BuyBoard, in the amount of $72,931.00.
