Sealed bids for the project known as 2021 Sanitary Sewer Lining Project. The City of O Fallon reserves the right to reject any and all bids and waive any informality. The City of O Fallon also reserves the right to select the lowest and/or best bidder as determined by the City in its sole discretion. The purpose of this bid is to obtain competitive unit prices for all labor, material, and equipment necessary to clean and inspect via closed-circuit television (CCTV) existing sanitary and combined sewers ranging in size from 6- to 30-inch diameter. The work includes hydraulic root cutting and cleaning, grinding protruding break-in service connections, remote televising and recording of the sewer. All project locations will be within the Owner service area. The work to be completed on each section of sewer will be performed in phases as defined in the following: 1. Phase 1 Pre-cleaning Inspection. a. The preferred method for Pre-Cleaning Inspection is color CCTV conforming to NASSCO Pipeline Assessment Certification Program (PACP), and for the data to be exported electronically in a PACP certified format. Since this inspection is performed prior to cleaning, it is understood that the video may not provide an "unobstructed view of the entire pipe". b. The Contractor may propose other methods to the Owner prior to bid for inspection such as, zoom camera inspection, digital sidewall scanning inspections, acoustical technology, etc. c. If the Contractor is performing the Pre-Cleaning Inspection, the method must be pre-approved by the Owner prior to inspection of the sewer interior. Phase 2 Sewer Pipe Cleaning. Based on the Owner's review, he or she will determine if additional work will be required. At the sole discretion of the Owner is to either declare the work on the particular sewer segment complete or notify the Contractor of additional work (i.e. Phase 3: Light Sewer Cleaning, Heavy Cleaning, Deposit Cut, Root Cut Medium, Root Cut Ball, or Lateral Cut). Phase 3 Additional Sewer Pipe Cleaning (Optional). The Contractor shall perform the assigned additional work, which may be any one of the following items as defined in these specifications: Light Sewer Cleaning, Heavy Cleaning, Deposit Cut, Root Cut Medium, Root Cut Ball, or Lateral Cut. Phase 4 Post Cleaning Inspection. Final televising of the sewer segment to evaluate the condition of the sewer segment after all cleaning has been performed in Phase 3. Phase 4 will be required to be performed and will be reimbursed at the bid unit price. a. The recorded video must show the entire circumference of the sewer. Any flow control to remove standing water and debris shall be incidental to the contract. It is not the intent of this specification to require bypass pumping to control heavy flow; however, the Contractor must, at a minimum, make reasonable effort to control the flow by using flushing equipment to temporarily retain flow or to remove standing water. The Contractor must also consider weather conditions to obtain the best video image of the sewer. This may require the Contractor to delay any video work after major rain events until the system can return to lower dry weather flow. The Contractor shall submit PACP data to include the electronic video reports, logs, etc. for the Owner's review as required in Part 1 Section 6. b. The segments of sewer to be cleaned and televised through this contract will be located primarily within the paved areas of the public right-of-way; however, there may be some sewer segments that are located within public easements on private property. The successful bidder, with assistance of the Owner as required, will be responsible to coordinate and gain access to any and all sewer segments and will be responsible for any restoration in accordance with Part III Section 5. This will include written authorization between Contractor and landowner. The Contractor shall furnish all labor, components, materials, tools, and appurtenances necessary for the performance and completion of the contract. Award of the contract will be determined through an evaluation of bids and made in light of the best interest of the Owner. The Contractor will be held fully liable for any damages incurred that are caused by his or her negligence.
