The City of Salt Lake City Department of Public Utilities is soliciting qualifications for water-cured CIPP rehabilitation of approximately 6,386 linear feet of 48-inch, 54-inch, and 60-inch diameter RCP trunk line on the 1200 W sewer system along 1300 South from State Street to 700 West, with prequalification applications due September 9, 2026 (now closed) and bid opening scheduled for February 2027.

Prequalification is mandatory. Contractors must hold an active Utah E100 General Engineering Contractor or S410 Boiler, Pipeline, Waste Water, and Water Conditioner license at contract award, maintain minimum bonding capacity of $15 million, and demonstrate significant experience installing a minimum of 100,000 linear feet of large-diameter CIPP (48-inch and larger) on sewer rehabilitation projects completed within the last ten years (modified by Addendum No. 1, dated August 31, 2026). The designated project superintendent must have at least five years of experience and prior superintendent roles on three projects totaling 10,000 linear feet of CIPP installation greater than 48 inches in diameter within the past five years; the project manager must demonstrate similar experience. The City intends to prequalify a minimum of three contractors.

The scope includes furnishing and maintaining a flow control bypass pumping system with odor control and tributary/sewer service lateral connections; groundwater management with treatment and disposal per applicable permits; rehabilitation of 16 manholes with epoxy coating; cleaning and video inspection of the existing trunk line; location and reconnection of active laterals and disconnection of inactive laterals; post-construction testing and video inspection; and permitting coordination with Salt Lake City Right of Way, Traffic Control, UDOT, UPRR, and UTA. Public relations and outreach coordination during construction is required.

Prequalification evaluation employs an 80-point scoring system across four categories: Contractors Team and Quality of Work (40 points), Claims and Reporting (16 points), Coordination/Cooperation with Public and Other Agencies (12 points), and Schedule Adherence and Closeout (12 points). Contractors must score at least 50 percent on the reference scoresheet. Substantial completion is targeted for July 2028. Addendum No. 2, dated September 3, 2026, addresses contract modifications.
