Auxiliary Lake Intake Sediment and Debris Removal

The City of Murfreesboro is requesting sealed bids for sediment and debris removal from the Auxiliary Lake Intake structure under ITB-15-2027, with bids due November 13, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. CST, and a pre-bid meeting scheduled for October 30, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. at the Murfreesboro Water Treatment Plant, 5528 Sam Jared Drive.

The scope involves inspection and removal of all submerged sediment and debris from within the Auxiliary Lake Intake structure (constructed in 1999 with four operational levels) and the river side of the intake. Sediment depths range from approximately 6 to 8 feet in the intake area and 1 to 2 feet on the Level 2 platform, characterized as oily-appearing mud/clay. The contractor must inspect all submerged areas and the 36-inch intake pipe extending approximately 50 feet into the river, and deliver a DVD video inspection and a written report with color photographs. Sediment and debris removal from the auxiliary lake intake system located at 5798 Central Valley Road and 4862 Central Valley Road in Murfreesboro.

The contract is a lump-sum, fixed-price engagement covering one year from contract execution contingent on City Council approval. All costs—labor, equipment, materials, freight, and disposal—must be incorporated into the bid price. The City is not subject to sales tax. Bidders must demonstrate experience providing similar services within the last five years through three references and maintain comprehensive general liability insurance with minimum limits of $1 million, along with automotive and workers' compensation insurance. Bidders must register with and submit all required forms through the City's OpenGov e-procurement portal; failure to do so results in bid disqualification. Written questions are due November 5, 2026. The City reserves the right to reject any and all bids, negotiate after bid opening, award to multiple bidders, or modify quantities based on bid prices and available funding.
