Re: Project Description for Ferndale Sewer Repairs
Attached is a letter presented to City Council dated November 5, 1999, that describes the work
being performed and why it needs to be done. This is to receive the "optional accelerated
payment" for Environment Infrastructure Fund Distribution.
In June of 2000 we relined a section of sewer main under Pontiac Drive using the same system.
Enclosed are copies of invoices and canceled checks for the work performed. If this is not
adequate, please let me know.
Sincerely,
Johrilvt

To: Mayor and City Council
Re: Proposal to reconstruct sewer main on Ferndale
Dear Mayor and City Council,
I do not normally ask you to approve a project of this size and cost without going through the
competitive bidding process. However, I feel there are circumstances with this project that
deserve special consideration. I will try to explain in writing why I feel we should allow
Insituforrn to perform the sewer lining on Ferndale without receiving other formal bids. This
project has been a topic of conversation for the last few years and some of you probably do not
need more explanation. Therefore, I will explain the history of the sewer reconstruction project as
succinctly as possible.
First, please read the attached letter I wrote to the residents on Cheltingham dated January 5,
1998. It explains how the sewer system works and why we have sewer backups. It also explains
what we have done to correct the sewer backups. The pumping system on Garland at Telegraph
is now in place with a few upgrades to be made in the very near future.
Reason for replacement
As stated in the letter, infiltration is caused by water entering the sewer system through joints,
cracks holes in the system. Because the sewer mains on Ferndale and Lakeview are below lake
level, it was the obvious place to investigate infiltration first. In the mid 1980's we had SOS
service group (Sewer Specialists) video the Ferndale sewer, but no action was taken to correct
any of the problems found. From that video, we could see that the pipe had several areas of
infiltration and root intrusion. We could also see that there were cracks in the sewer main as
long as 30 and 40 feet. That means those sections of sewer main could collapse at any time.
Because of this knowledge and the fact that the Ferndale sewer is the main line for about 70% of
the city, it is lower and bigger than Lakeview and one section of the sewer main had already
collapsed in 1994 it was determined that Ferndale was to be repaired first.
Reconstruction methods
In order to have an accurate estimate, the first thing we did was to have the sewer main cleaned
and videoed. The video again showed infiltration, root intrusion and additional cracking in the
pipe. It also gave us an exact number of sewer leads (lines coming from the houses) which is
necessary for an accurate estimate. I then investigated four alternatives to provide the necessary
repairs for the sewer; open cut removal and replacement, spot repairs using a cured in place pipe,
lining the entire sewer main with cured in place pipe and finally pipe bursting. Spot repairs were
ruled out because the repairs would not be substantial enough and not be a permanent fix. Open
cutting and replacing the sewer main was ruled out because of astronomical expense and
disruption. The two choices left were investigated more thoroughly.
Initially, we had an estimate of $175,000 to line the pipe with a cured in place pipe (CIPP) and an
estimate of $200,000 to replace the pipe using the pipe bursting method. By using the pipe
bursting method, we could enlarge the size of the pipe slightly, creating more storage in our
system during heavy rains. Because the cost was only $25,000 more, I spent several weeks
comparing the two methods.
Pipe Bursting versus Cured in Place Pipe
The major advantage to OPP is that you have very little or no disturbance to the ground. The
pipe I s installed through the manholes and once the pipe is cured, the service leads are cut out
with a robotic cutter from inside the sewer main. When the lining is complete, you have a new,
solid pipe with no root intrusion, infiltration and is structurally solid. The latest proposal is
approximately $152,000.
The major advantage to pipe bursting is that the pipe diameter can be enlarged. However, the
drawbacks are that you have to dig entry and exit pits for the new pipe to be installed. You
would also have to dig up every service lead to have them reconnected. After further
investigation, it was found that pipe bursting would cost $350,000 and $375,000.
The two methods have been discussed several times at City Council meetings and it was decided
that we would pursue the CIPP method. That is why we paved Ferndale prior to repairing the
sewer.
Why Insituform
It was found that there are only two companies that install CIPP that have any kind of a track
record, Insituform and LiquiForce. There are other companies out there, but I am afraid of the
quality of the final product. LiquiForce is a company out of Canada that specializes in spot
repairs. They said they can repair entire sections of main, but they prefer not to. The village of
Holly recently contracted with LiquiForce and ended up using Insituform to finish their job, with
LiquiForce as a sub contractor. I began working with Bruce Kuffer, from Insituform right from
the beginning of this project in the summer of 1997. Insituform was the contractor that video
taped the sewer the last time (March of 1998). Insituform recently was awarded a project in
Farmington Hills lining 8 miles of sewer main. McNamee, Porter and Seeley and Orchard, Hiltz
and McCliment have recommended Insituform because they are the only firm that does a quality
job and stands behind their work. I feel it would be a waste of time and money to put this project
out for bids. I am also very leery of what other companies are out there that may under bid but
not be able to perform to our satisfaction. Insituform patented the process that they and other
companies use.
Bruce Kuffer will be present at the meeting to explain a little bit about their company, the
process that will be used and to answer any questions. Bruce is not a salesman. He is the
engineer for the company.
I am asking that you approve the proposal from Insituform to repair the sewer main on Ferndale
as outlined at a cost not to exceed $152,000.
Please call me with any questions regarding this issue before the meeting.
Sincerely,
in,
City Manager
