Geneva RD. Ssmh liner project

The City of Orem, Utah is seeking qualified contractors for the Geneva Road Sanitary Sewer Manhole (SSMH) Liner Project, a comprehensive infrastructure rehabilitation initiative scheduled for completion by May 15, 2026. The procurement involves the installation of 198 vertical feet of cured-in-place structural liners across 18 sanitary sewer manholes located on Geneva Road from 1600 N to 200 S. Contractors must possess a valid Utah State Contractors License and demonstrate expertise in manhole rehabilitation techniques. The project requires a detailed, multi-layered fiberglass-based liner system that meets stringent ASTM testing standards for tensile and flexural strength, with specific installation requirements including complete sealing of manhole walls, shelves, and pipe connections. Bidders must submit electronic proposals through Bonfire by October 22, 2025, at 10:00 a.m., and provide a 5% bid bond based on their total bid amount. Key evaluation criteria include the lowest responsible bidder designation, with comprehensive documentation required, including manufacturer certifications, production volumes, reference projects, and financial reports.

The contract does not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Contractors must maintain substantial insurance coverage, including $2,000,000 in commercial general liability, $2,000,000 in business auto liability, and workers' compensation insurance. The project has an engineer's estimated cost of $400,000, with payment processed through automated clearinghouse (ACH) transfers and a 10% retainage held until project completion. The liner system must be installed by a manufacturer-certified licensed installer and comes with a 10-year materials warranty and 5-year labor warranty, with the liner engineered for a 100-year service life. Specific bid items include mobilization, traffic control, 5' and 6' diameter manhole liners, and infiltration mitigation services. Bidders will be required to demonstrate technical capabilities in rehabilitating utility infrastructure, with a focus on preventing infiltration, stopping structural deterioration, and providing a monolithic, structurally sound manhole restoration solution.
