city of rockford lead service line 11H.pdf

This is a Scope of Work document for the City of Rockford, Illinois, detailing a lead service line replacement project for Phase 11H. The project encompasses approximately 400 residential water service line replacements utilizing either open-cut trenching or directional boring methodologies. The scope of work requires contractors to remove existing lead service lines and abandon them in place upon successful connection of newly installed pipe. Proposals were due November 2, 2026, and work will be performed within Rockford, Illinois. The project is structured around individual service line replacements rather than a lump-sum contract approach.

Pricing for this project is established on a unit-price basis, with each bid priced per completed service line connection. Contractors are required to submit individual pricing for one completed service, which will be applied across the full 400-replacement phase. The City of Rockford will evaluate and award contracts based on the per-unit cost submitted by bidders. This approach allows the municipality to assess the most cost-effective proposals while maintaining flexibility in project execution across the residential water connections targeted for lead service line replacement.
