CONTRACT TERM:  JANUARY 18, 2017 TO JANUARY 17, 2020

The City issued a Request for Qualifications seeking qualified Contractors (manufacturer’s representative) with specific experience with installing cured-in-place pipe liner using a resin-impregnated flexible tube method that is formed to the original conduit by use of hydrostatic pressure.  Planned rehabilitations for the City’s Wastewater System will consist of, but are not limited to:  cleaning the existing sewer gravity mains; internal pre-rehabilitation closed circuit television (CCTV) inspections; furnishing and installing CIPP liners; reconnection and grouting of existing service laterals; obtaining material field samples for testing; preparation of inspections reports and CCTV post rehabilitation final inspections. 

On September 7, 2016, the City received five responses to this Request for Qualifications.  The responses were reviewed and evaluated by the Ranking Committee.  A Public Meeting was held on Monday, December 19, 2016 for the Ranking Committee to read their scores which resulted in the top three ranked firms listed below. 

The City will issue a Bid for each specific CIPP Lining Project, on an “as-needed basis” to the three pre-qualified contractors.  The lowest bid from the three pre-qualified contractors will be brought to Commission for approval to award.

The contract term will be three (3) years with an option for two (2) additional one-year terms, renewed at the sole discretion of the City. 

By pre-qualifying contractors to perform the work as specified in the bids, the City will be assured that qualified and experienced utility contractors will submit bids to complete the work. 

There is no fiscal impact as a result of this approval; each low bid over $25,000.00 will be submitted to Commission for approval. 

Not approve the pre-qualified contractors and issue a bid to all utility contractors for each CIPP Liner Project.
