Cured-In-Place Pipe (CIPP) Stormwater Pipe Rehabilitation (Re-Bid)

Pinellas County Public Works is seeking a qualified contractor to provide Cured-In-Place Pipe (CIPP) construction services for rehabilitating approximately 6 miles of stormwater and sanitary sewer infrastructure. The project involves rehabilitating corrugated metal, reinforced concrete, vitrified clay, and ductile iron pipes using CIPP technology, which avoids traditional open-cut methods. The procurement is structured as a two-step qualification process, with Step 1 bid submissions due on April 10, 2025, and Step 2 submissions due on April 24, 2025. The contract term is 730 consecutive calendar days from the Notice to Proceed, with potential for two 12-month extensions. Contractors must provide a comprehensive bid package including a bonding letter, qualification submittal forms, documentation of experience with similar projects, and three reference letters. Evaluation criteria will focus on technical capabilities, past performance, and ability to meet the county's infrastructure rehabilitation objectives.

The county has established a 5% Small Business Enterprise (SBE) participation goal for subcontractors, encouraging participation from smaller businesses. Insurance requirements are extensive, including workers' compensation, commercial general liability, automobile liability, excess liability, and pollution legal liability insurance with specific coverage limits. The total estimated project value is $15,423,230, with $10.6M allocated to Public Works and $4.7M to Utilities, funded through Surface Water Utility Fee and Penny for Pinellas sources. Pricing will be based on unit prices for various pipe diameters ranging from 8" to 72", with potential annual adjustments tied to the Consumer Price Index. Contractors must comply with multiple regulatory requirements, including E-Verify system verification, web content accessibility guidelines, and National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) standards. Liquidated damages are set at $1,356.00 per day of project delay, ensuring contractor accountability and timely project completion.
