Question:  I would like to know if an internal inspection device that is tethered will be accepted in this bid. It delivers all the data required in the spec with pinpoint accuracy and data is available real time.

Response:  Yes, a tethered internal inspection device is acceptable. As long as the device can perform the internal inspection of the force mains and navigate the bends in the pipes from inside the main we will consider the proposal. If there are limitations on the length the device can travel or  restrictions to the pipe fixtures the device can travel through please list these factors in your proposal.
