estimated volume/capacity of each grease trap that requires servicing? This information is essential for properly sizing equipment and determining labor requirements. 2000 gal. The SOW Section 3 indicates monthly jetting of sewer lines.

Could you please confirm if monthly hydro jetting is required, and if so, what specific conditions necessitate this frequency?

Regarding the sewer line jetting requirement, what is the approximate total linear footage of sewer lines that need to be cleaned? Approximately 100-125 linear footage. What is the pipe diameter range for the sewer lines requiring service? 4,6,8-inch lines. Are there any known problem areas or historical issues with the grease traps or sewer lines that we should be aware of? On Polk street, an 8-inch line is deteriorating, but is still capable of being serviced with jetting.
