Site work for a water / sewer project in Detroit, Michigan. Completed plans call for site work for a water / sewer project.

**As of May 7, 2026 this project has not yet been awarded. A timeline for the award has not yet been established.** The scope of work includes identifying existing Lead (Pb) service lines, meeting with customers to get access and permission to do work on private residential or commercial property, delivering water quality information, replacing existing Lead (Pb) service lines, and record keeping. The approximate locations of the replacements that will be assigned to the Contractor will be identified by the Engineer on an "as- needed" basis pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Contract Documents. There is no guarantee as to the number of replacement locations that will be assigned under this Contract. However, about 1000 lead service line replacements (placed by directional drilling or the cable pulling method) and 1250 Hydrovac Excavations are expected to be assigned throughout the life of this Contract. A more detailed description of the work is stated in Appendix A of the Agreement. The Detroit Water and Sewerage Department (DWSD) has prepared this contract for the purpose of replacing full Lead service lines, from the existing water main to the meter inside the home/property, and at locations where unplanned work results in the disconnection of any Lead service, on either the private property or within the public Right-of-Way (ROW). The contractor hereby agrees to perform all work assigned by the Engineer no matter where located, at the unit price established in the Pricing Sheet. The contractor will be responsible for following DWSD's Full Lead Service Line Replacement (FLSLR) Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and specifications to efficiently, effectively, and safely remove full LSLs. Because this contract will be providing work for unplanned service replacement, not all of the locations of the work are defined at this time. Please refer to Specification Section 33 14 17.81 and the sketch provided in Appendix G for additional guidance. DWSD expects the contractor to complete about 1000 LSL replacements and 1250 Hydrovac Excavations through this contract. Restoration of each LSR site will be in accordance with the DPW standards. This can be found at: https://detroitmi.gov/document/standard-specifications-paving-and-related-construction. The Bidder agrees that any work including unmarked underground utilities that may be required to complete any specific item shall be considered incidental and no claim for additional compensation will be made. The work adjacent to any Detroit DPW road jurisdiction shall be in accordance with the requirements of the Detroit DPW. o No full road traffic closure will be permitted. o All partial lane closures and traffic control plans, including bus route adjustments, must be reviewed and approved by the City of Detroit Traffic Department prior to implementation. Due to the extreme inconvenience to Detroit Water and Sewerage water service customers and the public in general, and also due to the impossibility of performing prompt, permanent restoration during the winter season, work on the Contract shall be temporarily halted after the second week of November or as authorized by the Engineer. The Contract work shall promptly resume during the third week of April of the following year or as authorized by the Engineer. The Project has an expected duration of 730 calendar days.
