City council Meeting: April 23, 1991
TO: Mayor and city Council
FROM: City Staff
SUBJECT: Resolution Waiving competitive Bidding and Authorizing
the City Manager to Negotiate and Execute a Contract
for Emergency Repair of Sewer Lines.
INTRODUCTION
This report requests that the city Council adopt the attached
resolution waiving competitive bidding and authorize the City
Manager to negotiate and execute a contract for emergency repair
of sewer lines with Insituform Southwest in the amount of
$369,175.00. There are severe root problems in the sewers which
could easily cause backups and significant damage if not rellned
within the next few weeks. As recent as February 1991, there
have been backups as a result of heavy root intrusion. The
contract involves a specialized method of sewer repair along
approximately 4,200 feet of eight (8) inch sewer at La Mesa Drive
between Twenty-Sixth and San Vicente Boulevard and on Nineteenth
street easement between Marguerite Avenue and Montana Avenue.
BACKGROUND
The Instituform process for sewer repair involves installation of
a fiberglass lining in damaged sewer mains without costly
excavation or replacement and thus allows sewer repairs at
inaccessible rear yard easements throughout the city. BeSldes

stopping leakage, this process increases flow capacity and
prevents root intrusion, corrosion, and abrasion.
staff has met with other cities and government entities
(including the City of Los Angeles, County of Los Angeles, and
Department of Water and power) and determined that Insituform
Southwest is the only firm known that can perform the needed
sewer repair work without excavation. This firm has unique
machinery that will both line the defective sewer main and remove
the lining, at each sewer service, without trenching. Alternate
products can line the sewers but require extremely costly
excavation at each service connection to clear the blocked
service line. This firm has been used successfully by the city
in the past for six similar type projects.
