Request for bids (RFB) line scoping, survey, and mapping of sewer conveyance system and laterals

The Little Mountain Service Area (LMSA) in Ogden, Utah, is soliciting bids for a comprehensive sewer system assessment through a Request for Bids (RFB) focused on line scoping, survey, and mapping of their conveyance system and laterals. The project requires a qualified contractor to perform closed-circuit television (CCTV) scoping and condition assessment of all lateral lines connected to LMSA's main conveyance lines and associated manholes, with the main trunk and manholes having been recently scoped and repaired. Contractors must conduct a field survey and GPS mapping of all mains, laterals, and manholes, and then integrate the survey and inspection data into a GIS-based sewer system map, producing both digital and hard copy deliverables. The bid evaluation will be based on five key criteria: cost competitiveness (30%), contractor qualifications and experience (30%), technical approach and methodology (20%), schedule feasibility (10%), and references (10%). Bidders must demonstrate expertise in CCTV sewer inspections, PACP rating standards, have a licensed professional surveyor/engineer in Utah, and possess proven GIS mapping capabilities. The bid is scheduled for release on August 28, 2025, with bids due by September 12, 2025, and a contract award anticipated on September 19, 2025, with a project completion deadline of December 31, 2025.

While no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on respondents were explicitly mentioned, the bid requires strict compliance with OSHA, Weber County, and Utah Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) requirements. The project aims to provide LMSA with an accurate baseline inventory of assets and identify infiltration/inflow (I/I) issues and repair needs. Contractors must submit an itemized pricing proposal covering CCTV inspection, manhole connection inspection, cleaning, survey, GIS database development, map production, and final reporting. LMSA reserves the right to reject any or all bids, indicating flexibility in the procurement process. Although a specific budget range was not provided, the comprehensive nature of the project suggests a significant investment in infrastructure assessment and mapping. The successful contractor will need to demonstrate technical proficiency, local regulatory knowledge, and the ability to deliver a detailed, actionable sewer system analysis that meets LMSA's comprehensive assessment objectives.
