STATEMENT OF WORK

INSPECTING, CLEANING AND CIPP REHABILITATION OF UNDER-SLAB SANITARY SEWER

PIPELINES IN THE BUILDING D BASEMENT

1. BACKGROUND

The U.S. Government Publishing Office (GPO) provides publishing and dissemination services for official and authentic government publications to Congress, federal agencies, federal depository libraries, and the American public. GPO is experiencing recurring backup and drainage issues in the sanitary sewer pipeline beneath the basement of Building D, affecting both the east and west storm drain systems. To address this, GPO recently conducted a Drain and Sanitary Sewer Pipes Assessment in the Building D basement, performed by a qualified contractor. The drain system and sanitary sewer pipes on both the east and west sides of the basement were inspected using closed-circuit television (CCTV). The report revealed significant structural deterioration and operational blockages. The inspection identified critical issues, including multiple blockages, spalling, joint separation, corrosion, and debris buildup.

The purpose of this Statement of Work is to seek a contractor capable of removing the blockages and rehabilitating approximately 510 linear feet of 3”–4” cast iron sanitary sewer pipes using the Cured-In-Place Pipe

(CIPP) lining method or a more efficient and effective alternative.

2. OBJECTIVES

The objective of this contract is to restore the structural integrity and operational functionality of the under-slab sanitary sewer system, prevent collapse, restore flow, and extend the useful life of the existing piping system with minimal disruption to facility operations. The Contractor shall use advanced techniques and equipment to detect and locate any clogged, damaged or defective under-slab sanitary sewer pipelines that are causing the slow drainage and frequent blockages.

• Restore full operational capacity of the basement sanitary drainage system.

• Eliminate existing pipe blockages and prevent future backups.
