The contractor must provide all labor, materials, and equipment necessary to complete sewer cleaning, televising via closed-circuit color television (CCTV), obstruction removal, and bypass pumping operations. Work must be completed according to specific milestones, with Fiscal Year 2026 IICP Sanitary Sewer televising due by February 1, 2027, and all sewer televising completed by the final deadline of April 30, 2027. Sealed bids are due no later than Friday, September 25, 2026, at 12:00 pm through the Village's e-Procurement Portal (OpenGov). The contractor must maintain existing sewer service throughout the project duration and notify the Engineer a minimum of 48 hours prior to televising operations.

The specification requires television cameras meeting minimum standards including 460 horizontal resolutions, variable focus, pan and tilt capabilities, and zoom functions, with operators holding NASSCO Pipeline Assessment Condition Procedure (PACP) certification. All costs for sewer cleaning, bypass pumping, and equipment retrieval are included in the unit price for Sewer Cleaning and Televising, with payment based on lineal footage of pipe televised as measured by equipment footage counters. The contractor must comply with Illinois prevailing wage requirements, OSHA regulations, and Illinois Administrative Code provisions. Deliverables include two copies of televising reports within one week of completion, two copies of DVDs or external hard drives with video in MPEG or Windows Media format, electronic PACP databases (version 8.1 or newer), GIS coordinate data if collected, and maps depicting televised areas.
