2024/2025 Cured In Place Pipe (CIPP) Sewer Rehabilitation Project

The Town of Telluride, Colorado is seeking qualified contractors for the 2024/2025 Cured In Place Pipe (CIPP) Sewer Rehabilitation Project, located in Sedgwick County. The procurement involves trenchless rehabilitation of approximately 3 miles of sewer infrastructure, with pipe diameters ranging from 6 to 21 inches. Key project deliverables include preconstruction CCTV inspection, pipe cleaning, bypass pumping, CIPP installation, hydrophilic end seals at manhole penetrations, trimming of protruding taps, and service connection reconnections. Potential acceptable installers include United Felts EnviroCure, Pipelogy, LLC, SAK Construction, LLC, and BLD Services LLC. Contractors must submit a comprehensive Statement of Qualifications demonstrating product and installer acceptability, including installation references from similar projects with detailed client contact information. The project evaluation criteria will focus on competitive pricing and the contractor's ability to meet specific contract specifications. The bid submission deadline is October 10, 2024, with work most accessible during the August through mid-late November timeframe, particularly considering restrictions in the Valley Floor conservation area.

The procurement does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged business enterprises. The project includes a $200,000 line item for contract revisions and allows for bid quantity adjustments between -30% to +30% while maintaining unit costs. Bidders are required to provide detailed bypass pumping plans, including flow monitoring, emergency procedures, and noise control measures, with specific requirements for diesel-powered pumps. The project involves potential chemical grout injection and specialized lateral lining in areas with water infiltration. While a specific budget range is not directly stated, the comprehensive nature of the project—involving approximately 16,485 linear feet of pipe rehabilitation, 150 service connection reconnections, and 40 protruding tap trimmings—suggests a significant municipal infrastructure investment. An add alternate bid item allows for additional lateral liner installations for pipes 12 inches and smaller, as well as 18 inches and larger, providing flexibility in project scope and potential contract value.
