The City maintains over 75 miles of large diameter sewer mains ranging from 39-inches to 84-inches, with the current structural condition of many unknown. The CCTV inspection of existing sewer mains provides a cost-effective means to inspect and evaluate large diameter sewer mains and associated manholes, thereby developing an understanding of existing conditions. With use of information obtained from CCTV inspection, the Wastewater Management Division is able to prioritize future sewer main replacement and rehabilitation projects.
On July 15, 2021, the first year of this Requirements Contract for CCTV Inspection Services of Large Sewer Mains was awarded in the amount of $690,224.00 to National Plant Services Inc., of Long Beach, California, with four (4) optional one-year extensions.
Year No. 1 of this contract required one (1) Contract Change Order totaling $5,033.20, resulting in a revised contract total of $695,257.20. There were zero days added to the contract time by previously executed Contract Change Orders, four (4) weather days, and no suspension days. The computed contract completion date was revised to September 12, 2023.

Year No. 3 of this contract was executed on April 18, 2024, in the amount of $830,934.21. There have been no prior Contract Change Orders for Year No. 3, as a result there has been no increase in the contract total.

The amount of Contract Change Order No. 01 for Year No. 3 is $189,820.50, which is a total of 22.8% of the original Contract amount. This increase will result in a revised Year No. 3 contract amount of $1,020,754.71.
Staff recommends that the City Council authorize the Capital Projects Department Director, or designee, to sign this Contract Change Order No. 01 - Year No. 3 on the City’s behalf.
