Summary

This is a Scope of Work document for the City of Rockford, Illinois, detailing a lead service line replacement project designated as Phase 11G. The project involves the replacement of approximately 400 residential water service lines through either open-cut trenching operations or directional boring methods. Upon successful connection of newly installed pipe, existing lines are to be abandoned in place. Each bid submission shall be based on a unit price for one completed service line replacement, allowing for straightforward cost comparison and project budgeting across the full scope of work.

The document establishes that pricing should reflect the complete cost per service line replacement, encompassing all labor, materials, and equipment necessary to execute the work. The project represents a significant infrastructure improvement initiative focused on reducing lead exposure in Rockford's residential water supply system. Bidders are expected to provide comprehensive pricing that accounts for the variation in installation methods required across the 400 replacements, with costs potentially varying based on site conditions, soil composition, and accessibility factors that would necessitate selection between trenching and directional boring approaches.
