RFP#332-27-YE pipe rehabilitation services

Portsmouth City is requesting proposals for CIPP sliplining pipe rehabilitation services under RFP#332-27-YE, with proposals due October 6, 2026. The scope covers rehabilitation of deteriorated water or wastewater pipes using cured-in-place pipe sliplining, a trenchless technology requiring pipe assessment, cleaning, preparation, and installation of new liners within existing conduits.

Respondents must demonstrate experience and capability in CIPP sliplining work and submit detailed proposals outlining qualifications, project approach, timeline, and personnel. Site visits are anticipated to allow bidders to observe project locations and existing pipe conditions. A bidders' conference is likely scheduled to address technical questions and clarify RFP requirements.

Pricing must include all labor, materials, equipment, and mobilization costs submitted according to the RFP's cost proposal format. The project may include set-asides for small businesses, disadvantaged businesses, or other classifications as defined by Virginia procurement regulations. All bonding, insurance, and compliance requirements with state and local environmental and safety regulations apply. Contractors should verify these requirements prior to submission.

Questions should be submitted by the deadline specified in the RFP. Contract award is expected following the evaluation period, with specific terms and project timeline detailed in the full RFP documentation.
