    • Additional Information from a Previous Bid

      Please see below answers to the questions from a previous bid:

      1. Is the number of sewer laterals to be lined known?
      • Exact number of laterals to be lined will be limited by the unit cost of the bids, but the City anticipates pursuing approximately 30-35 lateral lining repairs as a part of this project if funds allow.
      1. What type of pipe? If all pvc why does it need lined?
      • All service laterals to be lined are PVC. Lining has been requested to seal leaking joints caused by pipe/fitting separations at bell/gasket joints, damaged or defective gaskets, cracks in pipes, and other similar structural defects.
      1. If cast iron is descale needed?
      • All service laterals to be lined are PVC, not cast iron; thus no descale services are currently anticipated to be needed.
      1. Is jetting needed?
      • No. Jetting services are not currently anticipated to be needed for the repairs
      1. Is there branches (shared mains ETC) on any of the lines?
      • All currently anticipated repairs are to service laterals that service only one single dwelling unit per lateral. Branched lines are not currently anticipated to be encountered.
      1. Any high temps or chemical concerns?
      • All currently anticipated repairs are to residential service laterals, thus waters encountered are expected to be typical for both physical and chemical characteristics of domestic sanitary sewers
      1. Who opens or digs for access?
      • No excavations are currently anticipated. Access to all service laterals to be lined shall be through existing cleanouts and manholes.
      1. Is there current access on every lateral?
      • Yes, reasonable means of access to all service laterals to be lined is currently anticipated.
      1. Is any bypass pumping needed or is it guaranteed shut down of water while lining?
      • Bypass pumping is not currently anticipated to be needed. Contractor shall be responsible for communication with residents of impacted dwelling units should temporary interruption of water usage be necessary. Contractor shall be responsible for installation/removal/retrieval of inflatable plugs if necessary to complete the work.
      1. How do we price repiper wye and tee patches etc.? Should there be a separate line item for such patches?
      • Pricing of repairs shall be by footage of liner applied. If a particular point-repair request is identified as being unsuitable for lining (due to presence of a wye/tee, excessive separation of pipe, etc.), contractor shall communicate inability to line the requested area to the City.
      1. Is mobilization to be built into liner footage price or separate line item?
      • Mobilization and demobilization costs are to be baked in to the overall unit pricing.
      1. Are wye patches to be billed as needed?
      • Yes.
      1. Are existing C/Os bi-directional or directional?
      • Most are anticipated to be directional, though bi-directional cleanouts may be sparsely encountered. Most service lines to be repaired are anticipated to have a minimum of one (1) 4-inch directional cleanout, and one (1) 6-inch directional cleanout.
      1. Is this Prevailing Wage (PW)?
      • No such requirements are in place for this bid.
