Wastewater Collection and Storm Drainage CIPP

The City of Ashland, Oregon, is seeking sealed bids for Wastewater Collection and Storm Drainage CIPP (Cured-In-Place Pipe) Project No. 2024-28, with bids due on March 24, 2026. This project involves furnishing all materials, equipment, labor, and services for the trenchless rehabilitation of sanitary and combined sewer lines using CIPP technology, with approximately 8,500 linear feet of sewer main rehabilitation planned throughout the city's infrastructure system. The scope of work encompasses inspection, cleaning, and rehabilitation of aging sewer infrastructure to improve system capacity and condition, with project completion required by September 30, 2026, and a target work commencement date of May 1, 2026, following receipt of the Notice to Proceed and necessary permits. Bidders must be registered with Oregon's Construction Contractor's Board and pre-qualified in accordance with ORS Chapter 279C.430 and Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction. Required bid submittals include completed bid schedules, a First Tier Sub-Contractor Disclosure Form, a 10 percent bid bond, a Statement of Qualifications, and a Product Information Sheet. A pre-bid meeting was conducted on March 10, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. at the Community Development and Engineering Services Building in Ashland; written questions were due by March 13, 2026, at 2:00 p.m., with responses issued by March 18, 2026. The award will be made to the lowest responsive bid, with bid award notification expected by March 27, 2026.

This is a prevailing wage project requiring contractor and subcontractor compliance and reporting throughout contract performance. The project contains no set-asides for disadvantaged business enterprises or small business concerns, and this represents new work with no incumbent contractor, as the project is being initiated to address aging infrastructure rather than replace an existing contract. The City of Ashland Collections Department will perform spot repairs and work from a knock list as services by other means on the project. Funding is provided through a combination of municipal bonds and state grant programs with cost-sharing arrangements among participating municipalities. While specific budget or award values are not detailed in the available documentation, pricing is structured as a lump-sum bid for the complete scope of work with payment according to project milestones and completion of defined work phases. Plans and specifications were made available through OregonBuys.gov to interested bidders.
