The City of Salem Public Works Department is procuring a comprehensive sanitary sewer rehabilitation project for Silverton Road NE, spanning from Evergreen Avenue NE to Lana Avenue NE in Oregon. The project (#723106, Bid No. 245059) involves extensive infrastructure improvements, including installing UV CIPP liner in existing sewer mains, rehabilitating manholes with cementitious lining and epoxy coating, reconstructing lateral connections, and installing new cleanouts. Key deliverables include mainline video inspection of 30-36 inch and 8-inch pipes, UV cure CIPP liner installation for 30-inch and 36-inch pipes, and comprehensive traffic control measures. The project requires specialized trenchless rehabilitation techniques, with work limited to night hours (9:00 PM to 6:00 AM) and mandatory bypass pumping operations capable of handling flows up to 19 MGD during wet weather conditions. The bid submission deadline was February 4, 2025, with a virtual bid opening via Zoom at 2:15 PM Pacific Time, and the City intends to award the contract on February 14, 2025.

The procurement appears open to all qualified contractors, with no specific set-aside designations mentioned in the documentation. Four companies submitted complete bids: SLE, Inc. (Vancouver, WA), Allied Trenchless (Wenatchee, WA), Insituform Technologies, LLC (Chesterfield, MO), and Iron Horse, LLC (Fairview, OR). The project has an Engineer's Estimate ranging from $1,250,000 to $1,500,000, with actual bids received between $940,950 and $2,150,999.
