Shadow Lake Spillway Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation

The City of Olathe, Kansas, through Johnson County, is soliciting sealed bids for the Shadow Lake Spillway Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation project (Project No. 1-R-002-23), a construction contract involving the rehabilitation of approximately 216 linear feet of 12-inch sanitary sewer line located at 10345 South Northlake Circle, Olathe, Kansas. The scope of work includes installation of either cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) or Thermoform PVC liner, provision of means of access to two identified manholes (MH 10944 and MH 14445), contractor-provided bypass pumping services, and complete restoration of all disturbed facilities including sod, fencing, curb, and sidewalk to standards equal to or better than pre-construction conditions. Qualified contractors must submit bids online through the Bonfire platform by 10:00 a.m. local time on March 26, 2026, with public bid opening to follow immediately thereafter; a preconstruction conference will be held prior to work commencement to establish working procedures and discuss scheduling and coordination requirements. The project requires substantial completion within 120 days and final completion within 75 days after contract commencement, with liquidated damages assessed at $250 per day for delays beyond contract deadlines. Contractors must submit a bid bond equal to 5 percent of the total bid amount and provide performance and maintenance bonds in the amount of 100 percent of the contract price, along with comprehensive insurance coverage including workers' compensation, commercial general liability of $1,000,000 per occurrence, automobile liability, and umbrella coverage with the City listed as an additional insured. Monthly progress payments will be made at 95 percent of completed work with 5 percent retainage, and final payment will be released upon completion of all punch list items and achievement of a final use and occupancy permit.

The contract documents do not specify set-aside designations or restrictions on types of organizations eligible to respond. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the available procurement materials. The contract establishes a lump sum payment structure with an Owner's Contingency Allowance of $10,000 to cover unanticipated costs or quantity overages; however, the specific award value or total contract budget is not disclosed in the posted opportunity summary. Contractors must demonstrate familiarity with utility coordination and restoration standards, as the project area contains existing water lines, gas lines, electrical systems, and telecommunications infrastructure that must be identified and protected during construction activities. The engineering plans were prepared by RIC Consulting and approved by the City's Engineer and Design Engineer, establishing the technical specifications and standards that successful bidders must meet.
