2025-2027 Water Service Line Replacement Project Bid

The City of Owosso in Wayne County, Michigan, is seeking bids for a comprehensive 2025-2027 Water Service Line Replacement Project, with proposals due by 3:00 p.m. on May 20, 2025. This "All or None" procurement will involve approximately 160 water service line replacements per year, encompassing comprehensive infrastructure improvements including water service line replacements, pavement removal, HMA patching, concrete sidewalk work, and turf establishment. Bidders must demonstrate at least three years of experience in municipal water service line replacements and provide comprehensive references. The project timeline spans from August 4, 2025, to November 13, 2027, with work restricted during winter months (December through March) unless specifically approved by the Engineer. Contractors must submit a 5% bid bond and will be responsible for all excavation, restoration, and utility coordination, with detailed unit pricing requirements for various service line replacement scenarios based on pipe size and location.

The project is funded through the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF) with a total budget of $4,500,000, allowing for potential additional service line replacements at contracted unit prices if the initial budget is not fully expended. While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are explicitly mentioned, the bid documents include extensive technical requirements for trenchless installation methods, materials specifications, and restoration standards. The procurement covers comprehensive water infrastructure improvements across multiple street segments, with bidders required to provide pricing for all requested items. The contract anticipates integration with existing city utility infrastructure and requires precise documentation of installation methods, materials, and restoration techniques. Contractors will need to demonstrate robust capabilities in municipal water infrastructure replacement, with a focus on comprehensive service line replacement across various urban environments.
