Shira, P.E., City Engineer/Utilities Director SUBJECT: Sole Source Purchase The city's sewer televising and grouting truck was constructed by Cues Corporation, a company located in Orlando. This truck uses highly specialized video cameras to display the interior of buried sewer lines to locate leaks , broken joints, and low areas. We have been using this camera equipment more frequently to inspect the inside of storm sewer pipes, but have found that the existing camera is not well suited to this task. The existing camera was designed to work within a pipe of 8 to 12 inches diameter, and the storm sewers range from 18 inches up to 48 inches. At these larger diameters,the existing camera's lights are not powerful enough to illuminate the interior of the pipe, and the crawler mechanism is too small to allow the camera to travel in a straight line within the pipe. We included a new camera in the current FY 98/99 budget, and estimated the cost of the camera and associated cable to be $12,000.00. We have received a quote from Cues for this camera/cable assembly in the amount of$10,465.00. Because this equipment is proprietary to Cues, we are unable to get three quotes for this camera and cable assembly. There are other companies that manufacture video inspection cameras,but they are not compatible with the rest of the Cues system, and would not be covered by Cues overall warranty, nor could someone else's camera be serviced at the Cues facility in Orlando. Because of our high degree of satisfaction with the Cues equipment we are now using, we recommend that we continue to purchase additional equipment for this vehicle directly from Cues Corporation. To that end, I recommend that the City Commission waive the requirement for competitive pricing for this camera equipment, and authorize the purchase of this camera equipment from Cues as a sole source purchase, in the not-to-exceed amount of$10,465.00. pad zoot ,tiollo stigirv,i° 16-1,664' 014- to , g tO ok/o1/9 a coed AA-e4‘34 A \f0e\a"A 30 , i Orkei 1 --7 I C349-cy\9° LO.S'N 40' • s9 , -ve\ed-rvi 1 tra, 7/9' 2/- oys, ------ .---4 10, / , t Stied ' \ voCoe I -----------***--------"111 Itrk 'C'C' — of•(11\ l'3.. 10.• .1..• S 1‘ I.A11* 4.0 / GS6 ...., .
