This document contains Zoom bid opening instructions issued by the City of Salem, Oregon's Public Works Department and Administrative Services, Contracts and Procurement Division for two thermal and ultraviolet light cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) rehabilitation projects. The City is soliciting bids for Bid No. 245041 (Thermal CIPP) and Bid No. 245042 (Ultraviolet Light CIPP) to rehabilitate existing sewer and storm gravity pipes in Marion County. The comprehensive scope includes sanitary sewer bypass pumping, CIPP setup, manhole work, pipe lining for various pipe sizes, sampling and testing, and lateral reinstatement. Bids are due on June 11, 2024, at 2:30 PM Pacific Time, with the public bid opening conducted via Zoom meeting (Meeting ID: 891 1593 9682). The contract term is one year with four potential one-year renewal options, allowing for price increases at renewal subject to justification and documentation.

Contractors must submit detailed pricing for time and material line items and fixed unit prices for CIPP lining work that complies with specific design parameters. The contract is not set aside for any specific type of organization; however, prevailing wage rates apply, and contractors must maintain an employee drug testing program. The successful bidder will be responsible for executing the rehabilitation work according to detailed specifications and is anticipated to be SAK CONSTRUCTION, LLC. The contract award will be made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with prices remaining firm throughout the initial contract term except for potential decreases. The City reserves the right to reject any or all bids and may require removal and replacement of non-compliant CIPP liners. Contractors are expected to be available for emergency calls and work on an as-needed basis throughout the contract period.
