This is a service / maintenance or supply contract in Buffalo, New York. Contact the soliciting agency for additional information.

The Authority, over the next several years, will be focusing on identifying service line material and the removal of lead services. This project will involve up to three consulting service contracts over a period of two years. The first two contracts, referred to as the Investigation/Replacement Contracts will consist of investigating services and if necessary, completing the replacement of those services which have been identified to contain lead. It is anticipated that under these contracts, approximately 1,000 services will be investigated in 2025 and up to 2,000 services in 2026 and as lead services are identified by the contractor, they will be replaced under the same contract. Both partial replacements (watermain to curb box or curb box to meter) and full-length replacements (watermain to meter) are anticipated during this project. It is anticipated that in conjunction with these contracts, the Authority will also award a minimum of two construction contracts each year, each of which will be designed and bid by the Authority Engineering Department. Concurrently, the Authority will also be completing service material investigations and curb box replacements, referred to as the Curb Box Replacement Contract, in areas of the system with unknown service line materials. In support of this effort, the Authority anticipated awarding a third consulting contract for a period of up to two years.
