REQUEST FOR QUOTATIONS

INTRODUCTION
The City of Surrey (the “City”) invites contractors to provide a quotation on the form attached as Schedule B – Form of Quotation to Attachment 1 – Agreement (the “Quotation”) for the supply of the goods (if any) and services described in Schedule A – Specifications of Goods and Scope of Services to Attachment 1 – Agreement (the “Goods and Services”).  The description of the Goods and Services sets out the minimum requirements of the City.  A person that submits a Quotation (the “Contractor”) should prepare a Quotation that meets the minimum requirements, and may as it may choose, in addition, also include goods, services or terms that exceed the minimum requirements. 

SPECIFICATIONS OF SERVICES

Description of Scope of Services Required
Provide all labour, materials, equipment and plant to provide complete cleaning of catch basins, side inlet basins, lawn basins and lateral lines in areas as designated by the City and any other related works subject to the complete satisfaction of the City at various City locations (refer to Appendix 1-A, 1-B).

Description of  Works
Catch basins shall be cleaned, followed by flushing with a high-pressure hose having a minimum capacity of 1500 PSI, to ensure all debris is removed. All foreign materials, including, but not limited to, debris sticks, newsprint, and concrete encrustments, etc. shall be removed from the catch basin. This material shall be disposed to the designated site provided by the City. Where necessary, hand cleaning of the catch basin shall be performed by the Contractor at no additional cost.

Where the level of debris in the catch basin meets or exceeds the invert of the outlet pipe, the leader line must be flushed from the catch basin to the mainline to ensure that there are no obstructions.

Catch basins shall be deemed "clean" once all debris has been completely removed and the actual catch basin structure is visible.
