Sole Source Agreement for Sewer Inspection Camera System Replacement and Expansion

DEP intends to enter into a Sole Source Agreement with Joe Johnson Equipment for the purchase of Envirosight QuickView Air HD Zoom Pole Camera System and Acessories.

The purpose of this request is to replace older equipment which has exceeded its useful operational life span and no longer cost effective to repair and to expand the bureaus sewer inspection capabilities to meet The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued Administrative Compliance Order CWA-02-2016-3012 to the City of New York and DEP on September 2, 2016.

As part of the Order, BWSO created a Sewer Backup Prevention & Response Plan and submitted the plan to EPA on May 31, 2017. This outlines a 3-year Targeted Sewer Inspection Program (TSIP) with the goal to inspect & clean sewer segments in problematic areas: Community Boards 412 and 413 in Queens and Community Boards 313 and 315 in Brooklyn.

Any firm which believes it can also provide the required service IN THE FUTURE is invited to do so, indicated by letter which must be received no later than November 19, 2025, 4:00PM at: Department of Environmental Protection, Agency Chief Contracting Office, 59-17 Junction Blvd., 17th Floor, Flushing, New York, 11373.
