CIPP Relining (ITB PW 25-06)

The City of Norcross is seeking sealed competitive bids for a Cured-in-Place-Pipe (CIPP) relining project through Invitation to Bid (ITB PW 25-06), targeting the repair and extension of 3,454 linear feet of storm pipes and culverts across multiple city locations. The project encompasses pipes ranging from 18" to 66" in diameter, including sections on Atlantic Boulevard, Glouchester Place, Lancelot Drive, and Lake Drive. Bidders must provide unit pricing per linear foot for pipe segments, including costs for pipe cleaning, CCTV inspection, and mobilization. Contractor qualifications are stringent, requiring certification by the CIPP product manufacturer, a minimum of 5 years of experience, and documented installation of at least 1,000,000 linear feet of the same CIPP product in the United States. Key procurement dates include an optional pre-bid meeting and site visit on February 14, 2025, at 11:00 a.m., with questions due by 5:00 p.m. that same day. Bids are due February 28, 2025, at 12:00 p.m., with a public bid opening at 12:05 p.m. A bid bond of 5% is required for bids over $30,000, and successful contractors must provide performance and payment bonds equal to 100% of the contract amount if over $30,000.

The procurement does not explicitly indicate set-aside designations for disadvantaged business enterprises. A bid bond of 5% is required, and contractors must submit a comprehensive fee schedule (Appendix I) detailing pricing for additional preparatory tasks such as point repairs, invert repair, headwall adjustments, and riprap placement. The project allows for various CIPP technologies, including spray lining for pipes 36 inches or larger, folding form liners for smaller pipes, and UV CIPP liners as an alternative to felt CIPP, provided they meet ASTM F1216, GDOT specifications, and industry standards. While no specific budget range is provided, the comprehensive nature of the project suggests a significant infrastructure investment. The contract duration has been extended from 90 to 120 days from the Notice to Proceed, with work commencement required within 10 calendar days of NTP. The city will handle public notifications and right-of-entry permissions, and no specific permits are required for the current project scope. Billing can be conducted monthly or per completed section, with restrictions on billing for incomplete work.
