City of Dexter Storm Sewer Lining

The City of Dexter, located in Washtenaw County, Michigan, is seeking sealed bids for a Storm Sewer Lining project involving Cured-In-Place Pipe (CIPP) lining on seven segments of storm sewer pipe. The procurement will cover spot and full lining on pipe diameters of 12-inch, 21-inch, and 24-inch throughout the city. Bids must be submitted to the City Manager's office by 2:00 PM local time on May 6, 2025, with an anticipated contract award on May 12, 2025. The project requires comprehensive installation services, including pre-cleaning of existing sewer lines, bypassing storm water, service connection restoration, and detailed testing and inspection protocols. Contractors must demonstrate capabilities in municipal infrastructure rehabilitation, with specific technical requirements including compliance with MIOSHA safety standards and Michigan Department of Transportation specifications. The project timeline includes a notice to proceed on May 19, 2025, construction start date of August 4, 2025, and project completion by November 14, 2025.

The contract requires bidders to provide bid security of at least 5% of the total bid amount and maintain comprehensive insurance coverage, including workers' compensation, comprehensive general liability, and builder's risk insurance with specific minimum coverage amounts. Payment will be structured based on unit prices for specific line items such as mobilization, spot lining, full lining, and traffic maintenance. While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are explicitly mentioned, contractors will need to meet rigorous technical and financial qualifications. The project will be funded by the City of Dexter, with potential budget ranges implied by the detailed unit price structure and comprehensive scope of work. The contract documents, prepared by OHM Advisors, indicate a complex municipal infrastructure rehabilitation project that requires sophisticated technical expertise in storm sewer rehabilitation methodologies.
