Liner plan

Option A — Stretch liner: Handles the 4"→6" transition in a single pull. Recommended given the transition and the two 22.5° bends — stretch navigates turns cleaner than scrim. Option B — Scrim + transition liner 15/85/3: 15 ft of 4" covers the 6 ft cast iron section with buffer, 85 ft of 6" covers the 60 ft clay section with buffer. Tightest standard fit that covers both sections.

FLO ASSESSMENT
Verdict: FLAG
Flags:
• Lateral seal required — main pipe size currently listed as 10"–15" (approximate). Sales rep has emails into the city to confirm exact size. Office must confirm main size before seal team can order correct material and schedule. Do not schedule seal team until size is confirmed.
• Three minor holes at 22, 33, and 42 ft — all within the lined section and covered by the liner. Crew to run camera pre-cure to document condition before liner is installed.
Summary: This is a solid, straightforward 66 LF liner job with good access and clean camera footage. The two flags are the lateral seal (pending main size confirmation) and three minor holes that the liner will cover — document them pre-cure. Once the city confirms the main pipe size, the seal team can be scheduled after liner install.

PERMIT REQUIREMENTS
City: Minneapolis (assumed from address — verify)
Permit Type: Minneapolis Sewer Permit
How to Apply: Verify with office
Cost: $160.00
Inspection Process: Verify with office
Road Patch Requirement: N/A — no-dig liner
Road Closure: N/A
I&I Program: N/A
Notes: If any work encroaches on ROW, a Minneapolis ROW Excavation Permit ($800) may also be required — verify with office.

HEADS UP — INSTALL TEAM ATTENTION
None

ADDITIONAL NOTES
• Install team: Confirm clay pipe size after the cast iron section before pulling liner. Usually 6" but occasionally 4" or 5" — quick check saves a wasted liner.
• Lateral seal to be scheduled after liner install — office to coordinate once main pipe size is confirmed by city.
• Short run (66 LF) — check truck for liner cut-offs before ordering new material.

Good info to work with, Ben. A few things to sort out before I generate the ticket. **Quick note on the phone number** — I'll format 7635688937 as 763-568-8937. Looks complete, just needs formatting. ✓ **On the pipe layout — clean transition:** Cast iron ends at 6 ft, clay starts at 6 ft. That's a normal pipe transition, no gap. ✓ --- **A few questions before I finalize:** 1. **The holes at 22, 33, and 42 ft** — are these three separate holes, or is "22 33 42" a footage range (meaning one continuous damaged section from 22 to 42 ft)? That changes whether we're looking at a patch stack vs. liner coverage. 2. **Liner start and the tie-in at 3 ft** — the proposed scope shows liner starting at 4 ft, which puts the tie-in at 3 ft inside the remote start section (0–4 ft). That's actually a clean outcome — the remote start covers 0–4 ft during install, gets cut out after curing, and the laundry tie-in at 3 ft stays fully open. No reinstatement needed for that tie-in. Just want to confirm: is the 4 ft start intentional to clear that tie-in, or was it a coincidence? 3. **Lateral seal** — the main is listed as 10"–15". Do you have a tighter read on the main size? The seal team needs to order the correct material in advance. 4. **Root intrusion 20–44 ft** — that's a 24-foot span. Did the camera push through cleanly the whole way, or did it struggle at any point in that root section?

You

1. its not on whole. 2. correct 3. Not yet. I have emails into the city 4. yes it did

Flo

Perfect, that clears everything up. Let me put this together. **On the holes:** If it's not one continuous hole — are those three separate damage points at 22, 33, and 42 ft? Or did you mean to type a footage range like "22–42 ft" for one damaged section? Just want to make sure the damage locations are right in the ticket before I lock it in.

You

nope 3 small holes

Flo

Got it — three separate minor holes at 22 ft, 33 ft, and 42 ft. The liner covers all three, so no patches needed. Locking it in.
