2025 currier street water main replacement project

The City of Wayne, located in Wayne County, Michigan, is soliciting bids for the 2025 Currier Street Water Main Replacement Project, a comprehensive municipal infrastructure improvement initiative. The project involves replacing approximately 800 linear feet of 8-inch ductile iron water main (Class 54), along with multiple associated infrastructure enhancements including 3 eight-inch gate valves and wells, 2 six-inch hydrants, 2,345 square yards of road and repair for 8" non-reinforced concrete, 790 square feet of drive approach/sidewalk replacement, and 3,170 square feet of sidewalk replacement. Bid submissions are due on Thursday, April 17, 2025, at 11:00 A.M. local time, with the project scheduled to commence no earlier than Monday, June 9, 2025, and be completed by Friday, August 22, 2025. Contractors are required to submit a 5% bid bond or certified check with their proposal and must retain more than 50% of the project's dollar value for their own forces. The project is subject to prevailing wage requirements for contracts exceeding $50,000, and bidders must submit detailed information about subcontractors for review.

The contract includes specific performance requirements and financial considerations, with the City reserving the right to reject any or all proposals. Liquidated damages are set at $1,200 per calendar day for failure to complete the project by the specified date. While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are explicitly mentioned, the project will require contractors to work in an urban environment with potential impacts to existing utilities, roadways, and property access. The successful bidder will be required to provide performance, labor and material, and maintenance bonds. Although a precise budget range is not specified in the documents, the comprehensive nature of the infrastructure replacement suggests a significant municipal investment. Contractors will need to demonstrate capability in urban infrastructure replacement, water main installation, and coordinating complex municipal construction projects with minimal disruption to existing city services and resident access.
