Description

This contract is to procure two pipeline inspection vans from Environmental Products Group, Inc. in the amount of $763,400. The two (2) new vans will be utilized by the Water Reclamation Division to perform regular pipeline inspections and maintenance throughout the City of Savannah.

The new vans will be replacing unit #3823 and unit #3824 that have reached the end of their useful life and are no longer economical to maintain. The pipeline inspection vans are unique to the City’s fleet.

Cooperative purchasing is authorized as an appropriate procurement method in Division 10 Section 4-4152 of the City of Savannah’s purchasing ordinance. The contract number is 120721-EVS and it expires on January 17, 2026.
