BC Sewage Interceptor Replacement Project - Vermont Av to Mary St

The BVU Authority is procuring construction services for the Beaver Creek Sewage Interceptor Replacement Project in Bristol, Virginia, funded by the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality through the Virginia Clean Water Revolving Loan Fund. The project involves the replacement of approximately 1,900 linear feet of gravity sewer line ranging from 8 inches to 42 inches in diameter, including the installation of manholes, service laterals, cleanouts, utility encasements, concrete encasements at stream crossings, and structural streambank stabilization with rip-rap, extending from Vermont Avenue to Mary Street. Key deliverables include as-built plans and weekly payroll documentation demonstrating Davis-Bacon wage compliance. Required qualifications include either a Virginia Class A Contractor license (for contracts of $120,000 or more or bidders with total construction work of $750,000 or more within any twelve-month period) or a Class B license (for contracts between $7,500 and $120,000), along with submission of a Contractor's Qualification Statement, bid bond equal to 5 percent of the maximum bid price, performance and payment bonds, and comprehensive general liability insurance with minimum limits of $2,000,000 general aggregate. Contractors must achieve Substantial Completion within 180 days of the Notice to Proceed and Final Completion within 210 days, with liquidated damages of $500 per day assessed for delays beyond the Substantial Completion date. Sealed bids are due at 2:00 p.m. on Tuesday, April 14, 2026, at the BVU Authority office located at 15022 Lee Highway, Bristol, Virginia, with electronic submission also available through eVA; an optional pre-bid conference was held on March 25, 2026, and bidding documents are available from The Lane Group, Inc. at $200.00 per printed set or $50.00 per electronic PDF version (both non-refundable).

The BVU Authority encourages participation from Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) and Women Business Enterprise (WBE) firms and requires good faith solicitation efforts during the bidding process. All contractors must comply with federal requirements including the Davis-Bacon Act prevailing wage standards, American Iron and Steel provisions, Build America, Buy America requirements, Executive Order 13706 paid sick leave provisions, and Title 54 of the Virginia Code, with mandatory submission of certifications for compliance. Contractors are responsible for obtaining a City of Bristol Working Right-of-Way Permit and Land Disturbing Permit at their sole expense, coordinating with the BVU Authority and City of Bristol with 48 hours advance notification, and contacting MISS Utility at least 72 hours prior to excavation. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the contract documents. Construction must comply with VDOT specifications, OSHA requirements, Virginia Erosion and Sediment Control Handbook standards, and all City of Bristol rules and regulations. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated in the available documents, the contract scope and procurement requirements suggest a contract value exceeding $120,000, triggering the Class A licensure requirement and indicating a substantial project award.
