The vendor is required to provide to engage a sewer pipe video firm or partnership specializing in condition assessments to perform a CCTV inspection and GPS reporting program.
- Notify residents and provide traffic control
• Prepare public notification for online media posting.
• Provide local notification to residents within work areas at least 48 hours in advance of cleaning and CCTV inspection activity, in the form of letters, door hangers, lawn and stake flags, etc.
• Identify locations where access to private property is required and provide a list of these addresses to the county prior to accessing the property.
• Notify affected residents as instructed by county staff prior to accessing sewers in rights-of-way within private property.

- Perform sewer cleaning
• Perform root and solid debris cutting as part of the cleaning process where necessary.
• All stormwater infrastructure shall be pre-cleaned prior to inspection by the contractor.
• If three pass flushing does not allow inspection to be completed, a reverse set-up inspection is to be carried out from the opposite manhole.
• In cases where the complete length of pipe cannot be inspected (after inspecting from both ends) by the contractor due to debris or any other obstacles, the contract administrator shall be notified immediately.
