LEAD SERVICE LINE REPLACEMENTS, by qualified City of Milwaukee licensed and bonded contractors. Qualified bidders shall have the necessary equipment and experience to replace lead service lines using trenchless methods. All locations will be service line replacements due an upcoming paving project. Each location will require either the full replacement of the water service line from the municipal water main up to the interior water meter setting, or, at locations where a portion of the service line was previously replaced with copper, the replacement of the remaining lead portion of the service line. When the existing water meter setting is not code compliant, work will also include a new meter setting. Work may include, but is not limited to, the procurement of all necessary permits, a site visit prior to work beginning, scheduling the installation with the property owner, traffic control, erosion control, saw-cutting, excavation, installation of a new copper service line utilizing trenchless technology (MWW approval is required for open cut installation), tapping of the water main, abandonment of the lead service line, installation of an updated water meter setting up to and including the outlet valve, reconnection to the interior building piping, code-compliant restoration of the electrical ground wire, backfilling of the excavation(s), restoration of pavement, curb and gutter, and walk, and final cleanup of the work site. Temporary and permanent restoration requirements will be at the discretion of MWW.

Locations will be at various sites throughout the City of Milwaukee. All work shall be in compliance with the City of Milwaukee Rules and Regulations Governing Water Service, the City of Milwaukee Water Service Piping Specifications, and the City of Milwaukee Special Provisions for Lead Service Line Replacement.
