FILE NUMBER
Award a contract to JWC Environmental for one sanitary sewer trash grinder in the amount not to
exceed $58,000.
DISCUSSION
The Public Works Agency (PWA) Water Resources Division maintains the sanitary sewer system
consisting of approximately 390 miles of pipelines and 8,500 manholes. Maintaining a constant
flow is of the utmost importance as sewage travels through the City's sewer system. Large
objects that enter the system slow down the sewage and eventually clog or damage the pumps
at the sewer pump station.
The PWA evaluated the use of a sewer trash grinder to be installed into a channel/manhole as a
means by which to maintain the sewage flowing at an acceptable level and prevent the
impairment of sewer pumps. Through the evaluation, it was determined that the Channel
Monster Single Drum grinder met all of the Water Resources Division performance standards
and specifications.
The notice inviting bids was advertised on February 8, 2011, and bids were solicited. A summary
