BACKGROUND: In March, 2003 the City's Engineering Division prepared a Request for Proposal (RFP) to obtain proposals from interested firms to provide pipeline inspection services for Fiscal Year 2003-2004. Three firms replied to the City's RFP: • National Power Rodding Corporation- Chicago, Illinois • Walden Associated Technologies,Inc. - Glen Carbon, Illinois • Tele Scan, Inc. -Mt. Zion, Illinois The submitted proposals were reviewed on the range of services provided, the quality of inspections, the firm's ability to respond to emergency inspection requests, proximity of the firm to Decatur and the general cost for services. All of the firms that responded to the City's RFP are excellent service providers. Tele Scan, Inc., was selected as the firm that can best fill the City's requirement for sewer inspection services. Tele Scan is a local firm that has demonstrated its ability to provide high quality sewer inspection services at a very reasonable cost.
