Bid NO. 25-03 Sewer Rehabilitation - Normal Park Drive to Paul Knox Street

The City of Huntsville, Texas is seeking bids for Bid No. 25-03, a sewer rehabilitation project located between Normal Park Drive and Paul Knox Street. The procurement involves rehabilitating approximately 755 linear feet of existing 8-inch and 10-inch sewer lines, which will be upsized to 12-inch HDPE SDR 26 pipes using pipe bursting techniques. The project requires replacing three existing manholes (specifically manholes 3286, 3296, and 3299) with new concrete manholes lined with polymeric or epoxy coating. Bidders must provide unit pricing for both pipe burst and open-cut rehabilitation methods, and the work includes additional services such as CCTV inspection, connection restoration, site restoration, and bypass monitoring. The City will evaluate bids based on best value criteria, considering factors like price, bidder proximity, delivery date, reputation, past performance, and compliance with city ordinances. Mandatory site visits were scheduled for November 19, 2024, and a second mandatory site visit on December 4, 2024, with sealed bids due on December 12, 2024, at 3:00 P.M. Central Time. The total project must be completed within 60 calendar days of the Notice to Proceed, with liquidated damages of $250 per calendar day for delays.

The procurement does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The project requires a 10% bid bond and mandates that the successful contractor provide performance and payment bonds. The estimated project budget is $200,000, and the City will cover permit fees, though the contractor is responsible for obtaining necessary permits. Insurance requirements include commercial general liability coverage of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate, plus commercial automobile liability coverage of $300,000. Bidders must maintain firm pricing for 120 days after bid opening and provide unit pricing for various project components. The City reserves the right to reject any or all bids and make partial awards if deemed in the best interest of the municipality. Contractors will need to coordinate any required clearing on private property and work within the 8-10 foot easement along the project area. The project primarily involves work on City properties, with no significant external infrastructure integration requirements noted in the procurement documents.
