2025 WMD Pipe and Manhole Rehabilitation Phase 2

The state of Colorado is seeking a contractor for the 2025 WMD Pipe and Manhole Rehabilitation Phase 2 project, a critical infrastructure maintenance initiative targeting sanitary sewer system improvements. The procurement involves rehabilitating approximately 6,314 linear feet of sewer pipes with diameters ranging from 21" to 42" using Cured-In-Place-Pipe (CIPP) technology, a trenchless rehabilitation method that allows pipe restoration without extensive excavation. Contractors will be required to insert resin-saturated liners into existing pipes through manholes, creating a new structurally sound pipe within the original host pipe. The project also includes manhole rehabilitation, which must be performed by subcontractors qualified by specific manufacturers. Key deliverables include comprehensive pipe rehabilitation, minimal excavation for bypass and manhole cone removal, and adherence to the current 2022-2027 Six-Year Water Plan's capital maintenance sub-program. The contract opportunity (ID: 6881418c46dc3e3acf067544) was posted on July 22, 2025, with proposals due by August 21, 2025.

While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly detailed in the provided documentation, the project appears to be a standard municipal infrastructure improvement contract open to qualified contractors with specialized CIPP rehabilitation expertise. Potential bidders will need demonstrated experience in trenchless pipe rehabilitation and manhole reconstruction techniques, with a focus on technical proficiency and manufacturer-approved methodologies. The project is part of Colorado's broader water infrastructure maintenance strategy, suggesting potential opportunities for local and regional contractors familiar with municipal utility infrastructure improvements. Though exact budget ranges are not specified, municipal water infrastructure projects of this scale typically involve significant capital investments, potentially ranging from several hundred thousand to multiple million dollars. Contractors interested in this opportunity should carefully review the complete project specifications, ensure compliance with manufacturer qualifications for subcontractors, and prepare comprehensive technical and logistical proposals that demonstrate capability in advanced sewer rehabilitation techniques.
