26-B-870 Specifications.pdf

This is a specifications document for trenchless sanitary and storm sewer rehabilitation services in Florida. The project involves rehabilitation of sewer infrastructure using trenchless technology methods to minimize surface disruption. The specifications establish technical requirements for pipe bursting, horizontal directional drilling, cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) lining, and other trenchless rehabilitation techniques. Bidders must demonstrate capability in mobilization, site preparation, traffic control, environmental protection, and restoration of service lines. The document details equipment standards, material specifications, quality assurance procedures, and performance testing requirements for various sewer pipe sizes and conditions. Work includes both sanitary and storm sewer systems, with specifications addressing different soil conditions, existing pipe materials, and rehabilitation methodologies appropriate for each application.

The specifications establish minimum qualifications for contractors, including insurance requirements, bonding obligations, and safety compliance standards. Contractors must provide evidence of previous experience with trenchless rehabilitation projects of similar scope and scale. The document specifies warranty periods for completed work, typically ranging from one to five years depending on the rehabilitation method used. Quality control measures include pressure testing, video inspection of rehabilitated sections, and third-party verification of workmanship. Pricing considerations include mobilization costs, equipment rental, material expenses, and labor for site restoration. The specifications reference industry standards and best practices from ASTM International and the Water Environment Federation to ensure consistent quality and durability of rehabilitated infrastructure.
