INTRODUCTION
This purpose of this memorandum is to officially record in the minutes of the City
Council the completion and acceptance of the inspection services provided by Redzone
Robotics, Inc. for the Catfish Creek 24" and 30" sanitary sewer inspection project.
BACKGROUND
On November 7, 2014, the City entered into a service agreement with Redzone
Robotics, Inc of Pittsburgh, PA to inspect and analyze the Catfish Creek Interceptor for
broken or missing sections of pipe; possible debris accumulations restricting flow; or
other signs the interceptor sewer was not able to handle higher flows.
The project was the result of the a significant rain event on June 30th, 2014 which
directly impacted the Catfish Creek Lift Station when high flows were sustained at the lift
station for several weeks following the rain event. The interceptor sewer was clearly in
flood conditions and multiple sanitary sewer overflows were observed. Due to the off-
road location of the sewer, it was not feasible to mobilize the City's traditional televising
equipment to conduct an internal inspection and assess pipe conditions; therefore an
alternative method was selected. Redzone Robotics has the capabilities extend to
performing inspections with SONAR and LASER technology using off-road all-terrain
vehicles, in addition to traditional CCTV methods.
DISCUSSION
The project was designed, inspected, and managed by City engineering staff, City staff
worked closely with the vendor and the project was completed on time and under
budget. The City received all inspection reports per the contract and concluded the
project with a presentation to fully discuss all results and reports on April 14, 2015. The
inspection identified several sections of interceptor in need of cleaning due to debris
build up and several sections of sewer in need of replacement. Upcoming budget cycles
will reflect the recommendations resulting from the inspection.
Redzone Robotics inspected 7,394 lineal feet and completed 24 manhole inspections
along the Catfish Creek interceptor.
BUDGETIMPACT
The project was funded from the I & I reduction Program CIP 7101294. The Catfish
Creek 24" and 30" Sanitary Sewer Inspection Redzone Robotics contract was in the
amount of$48,315.00. The final inspection amount based on work completed totals
$47,866.50.
REQUESTED ACTION
I respectfully request acceptance of the Catfish Creek 24" and 30" Sanitary Sewer
Inspection project and final payment $47,866.50 payable to RedZone Robotics Inc. of
Pittsburgh, PA by the City Council.
