PutnamWPCALeadServiceLineReplacementProgramBidSubmittalAugust2026_8-11-20261.pdf

This is a bid submittal document for the Town of Putnam Water Pollution Control Authority (WPCA) in Connecticut for a Lead Service Line Replacement Program. The project encompasses the replacement of up to 223 lead service lines across the Town of Putnam WPCA service territory, with galvanized steel lines treated as lead service lines requiring removal. Work will typically occur on the private side of service lines from the curb stop to the first fitting in the building using copper pipe, with public-side replacements performed only when lead is identified upstream of the curb stop during testing or private-side work. The scope allows for special replacement procedures at certain locations, including service-line relocation from the water main to the building. Addresses may be added to or removed from the replacement list by the Engineer or Owner throughout project duration. Proposals were due September 16, 2026. Bidders must hold a current Connecticut Department of Administrative Services (DAS) contractor pre-qualification certificate for Sewer and Water Lines to be eligible.

The project is subject to Build America, Buy America (BABA) compliance requirements, which apply to federally funded infrastructure projects and mandate domestic content and materials sourcing documentation. The bid submittal document does not specify an estimated contract value, contract term, pre-bid conference date, site visit opportunity, questions deadline, or evaluation criteria. No incumbent information or renewal options are detailed in the available documentation.
