Sewer Lateral Cleaning Services
Exhibit A
The City is responsible for the sewer lateral from the City’s clean-out (usually
located in the planting strip or behind the sidewalk near the property line) to the
sewer main. The section of the lateral between the City’s clean-out and the
dwelling remains the responsibility of the customer.
The Contractor shall clean the sewage backup in response to authorized service
calls within a required response time. The required response time shall be under
30 minutes, and less in those cases where flooding is occurring in a dwelling.
The contractor shall have sufficient personnel, equipment, and resources to
respond within this time requirement.
The Contractor shall provide a single point of contact to the City. City’s
Dispatcher will contact the Contractor when a customer reports a sewer backup
problem. The Contractor shall arrive at the subject location within 30 minutes
from the Dispatcher’s call and report the arrival time to the Dispatcher.
If the sewer overflow is in danger of entering the storm drains or waterways, the
Contractor shall immediately block the storm drains or waterways with sandbags
(or City approved equivalent). The Contractor shall notify the City’s
Communications Dispatch at (650) 329-2413 in the event the sewage has
entered City storm drains or waterways. Communications Dispatch will inform
Utilities Operations or its standby personnel to clean up the storm drain or
waterway.
The Contractor shall make initial contact with the reporting party (property owner
or building occupant) to inform them of the work to be performed on the City
portion of the lateral.
The Contractor shall locate the City’s clean-out. If the clean-out is found, the
Contractor shall clean the sewer lateral from the City’s clean-out to the sewer
main. If the clean-out is not found, the Contractor shall contact the City’s
Communications Dispatch to obtain the assistance from Utilities Operations to
locate the clean-out. If the clean-out does not exist, the Contractor shall obtain
the property occupant’s permission to clean the sewer lateral from the customer’s
property.
If the blockage is in the City portion of the lateral, the Contractor shall unplug the
blockage by using appropriate equipment such as a mechanical rod or a cutter
blade to completely remove any debris or roots in the lateral. The Contractor
must provide an electrical generator for use by their personnel to power up any
tools or equipment that is required to perform the job.
CITY OF PALO ALTO C08126818 Page 1 of 3
Scope of Services Exhibit A
The subject lateral shall be free of blockage for at least one year from the date it
was cleaned. If the lateral is found collapsed or has any structural damage, the
Contractor shall notify the Dispatcher at (650) 329-2413 immediately.
Prior to leaving each job location, the Contractor shall clean up the worksite by
removing any non-soluble debris and flushing soluble debris back into the sewer
lines (through the clean-out). Contractor shall not permit standing pools of liquid
or debris to be left in the streets, gutters, sidewalks, planting strips, or around the
cleanout. All waste materials must be removed from the site for proper disposal.
Contractor shall not use any bleach or deodorizer near any storm catch basin or
inlet. Any damage, caused by the Contractor, to the public or private properties
shall be restored to pre-job conditions at no cost to the City.
The Contractor shall fill out a "Sewer Lateral/Mainline Stoppage Report" using
the City-provided form (attached at the end of this section) each time they report
to the job location. These reports shall be submitted by mail to the Project
Manager on a weekly basis. Training on filling out this report will be provided at
the pre-construction meeting. All operators shall be trained prior to reporting to
the job sites.
Upon completion of each job, Contractor shall obtain the customer’s signature to
acknowledge the work being done on his/her property. Contractor shall also call
the City’s Communications Dispatch and notify them that the work has been
completed.
At all times, during and up to the completion of the work, Contractor must secure
the job site, by using barricades, lights, safety cones, or warning signs to prevent
injury. The Contractor shall remove all safety signs, sand bags, tools, or
equipment from the public right-of- way upon completion of the work. The job
site must be returned to a safe condition.
The Utility WGW Operations team shall remain the sole responsible entity to
work on the sewer mains. The Contractor shall not perform any work on any
sewer main in the City of Palo Alto. If the Contractor becomes aware of any
back-up in the sewer main, the City Dispatch Center shall be notified
immediately.
Records indicate that approximately one-third of sewer back-ups occur on the
customer’s side of the lateral. Therefore, one third of the responses to the
sewer back up calls may result in the processing of two separate
transactions: one for the City’s lateral and one for the customer’s lateral.
Under this Contract, the Contractor is not precluded from doing work for the
customer. However, any work performed for the customer requires the
customer’s written authorization. (Note: The Contractor will be required to
certify that such an agreement is in place, and shall cross reference the City’s
CITY OF PALO ALTO C08126818 Page 2 o~3
Scope of Services Exhibit A
invoices and the customer’s invoices.) It is the Contractor’s responsibility to
explain to the customer that he/she will be responsible for paying the bill for
the customer side of the sewer lateral, unless the City clean-out does not
exist.
¯Contractor personnel shall be clearly identified (by uniform and by virtue of
utilizing clearly marked vehicles) when responding to City-dispatched calls.
°The Utility Department may periodically conduct customer satisfaction
surveys to verify the quality of the work that is done under this contract.
Any work outside of the ’scope of the work’ as specified in this contract
requires written authorization from the City. In the event of such work, the
invoice(s) must identify the name of the City employee giving such
authorization.
Contractor shall submit a single invoice for the Work in place and complete as
of the 25th day of the preceding month. Each invoice shall identify the date
and the house address for each sewer lateral serviced. Progress payments
will not be processed unless all reports are received by the Project Manager.
Warranty
Contractor shall warrantee their work for one year for each service call. If the
sewer backup re-occurs within one year from the date the lateral was cleaned by
the Contractor, the Contractor shall re-clean the lateral per Contract at no cost to
the City.
Pricing
The unit price for each Bid Item in Bidder’s Bid Pages shall include all work
necessary to thoroughly clean the sewer laterals per specified scope of services.
Measurement for payment will be made for each sewer lateral cleaned. The
price will be full compensation for the work, inclusive of materials, labor,
equipment, transportation, travel time to and from Palo Alto, traffic control if
applicable, removal and disposal of all materials of whatever nature encountered,
attending pre-construction meeting, training staff on Contract requirements,
preparation of field reports, invoicing, and any other miscellaneous and
associated costs. No additional compensation will be made for variations in
depth or length of sewers.
Project Schedule:
Contract shall respond to the City’s requests on an as-needed basis to clean the
sewer laterals 24-hours a day and 365 days a year within 30 minutes.
