Item Coversheet

Item: 2015 Cured in Place Sewer Lining
Department: Public Works
 

BACKGROUND

 

The Public Works Department would like to participate in the Municipal Partnering Initiative (MPI) Program for Sewer Lining. MPI is a working group of 16 north shore and northwest suburban municipalities which have been working together on group bids since the fall of 2010. Combining multiple municipal bids allows for lower pricing through greater quantities.  

CIP lining is a non-destructive method of rehabilitating older sewers. This process “sleeves” the inside of older clay sewers with a new epoxy fiberglass resin. This method of rehabilitation is normally applied to sewers with cracking or a history of cave-ins at locations where open excavation is either too expensive, inaccessible or both. In this case we have several rear yard sanitary sewers that have visible cracks and are inaccessible. This work also includes reinstating the service connections to each home. The Village has been successfully rehabilitating sanitary sewers through CIP lining for five years. This program is part of a multi-year program to rehabilitate our aging sewer system. 

The Village led a group of municipalities this year on a bid for “Cured in Place” (CIP) Sewer Lining. Bids were duly advertised and publicly opened by the Village on behalf of MPI on March 13, 2015. This MPI bid was jointly collected for the Villages of, Wheeling, Lincolnshire and Arlington Heights. The portion of the bid associated solely with the work in Arlington Heights is below the budgeted amount of $300,000. The total bid price for all municipalities is listed below for the 2015 MPI contract.
