Zoom Bid Opening Instructions 4.23.25~1.docx

The document is a Zoom meeting invitation for a bid opening issued by the City of Salem, Oregon, covering Bid No. 256008 for Root Treatment of Sewer Lines. The procurement targets chemical root control for approximately 90,000 linear feet of sewer pipes ranging from 6 to 24 inches in diameter, specifically for the Department of Public Works - Operations. The bid requires contractors to provide labor, equipment, and materials for comprehensive sewer line root treatment, with a bid due date of April 23, 2025, at 11:00 a.m. local time through electronic submission on Equity Hub's Bid Locker. The contract term is from July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2026, with potential for up to four one-year renewals, and actual work to be completed between September 1 and November 30.

Bidders must have a minimum of 5 years of direct experience in chemical sewer root control, having treated over 500,000 linear feet of pipe and completed at least 10 similar jobs. Contractors are required to possess a valid Oregon Pesticide Business License and maintain $1,000,000 in pollution liability insurance. The bid includes a detailed pricing schedule with unit prices for different pipe sizes and provisions for mobilization and traffic safety. The City will provide access to manholes, pre-treatment line cleaning, and TV inspection reports, while the contractor will be responsible for all aspects of root treatment, including safety, environmental protection, and providing a two-year warranty against root regrowth and pipe blockages. No specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged business enterprises are mentioned, and while no incumbent vendors are listed, the comprehensive nature of the project suggests a substantial contract value.
