Minneapolis private water-service relocations and sanitary-sewer replacements

The City of Minneapolis is seeking a contractor for as-needed private water-service relocations and sanitary-sewer replacements connected with street and sewer construction. - Government buyer: City of Minneapolis, Department of Public Works, Transportation Maintenance & Repair, Paving Construction. Named contacts in the materials include Kimberly Wilson (also rendered as Kimberly K Wilson) and Nancy Vue. - OEMs and vendors: No manufacturers, OEMs, or contractor vendors are named. Copper pipe, fittings, valves, and sewer pipe are specified by type, not brand. - Requested work and estimated quantities: - 1-inch copper water services: 14 short-side and 14 long-side. - 1½-inch copper water services: 2 short-side and 2 long-side. - Replacement of lead or galvanized lines with 1-inch copper service: 6 short-side and 6 long-side. - Private sanitary-sewer service replacement: 6 at 0–11 feet deep and 6 at 12 feet deep or deeper. - A separate attachment lists a lump-sum bid line for the relocation work, quantity 1. - Notable requirements: Work includes applicable permits, tap fees or inspections, excavation, connections, pipe and fittings, backfill and compaction, valves and stop-box components, and site safety. The work is ordered as needed and estimated quantities are not guaranteed. Contractors must complete at least five relocations per week and begin within four calendar days of notice. Relevant municipal-project references are required; subcontracting is not allowed. Prevailing wages apply, and the solicitation also states employment goals of 20% female and 32% minority. The successful bidder must provide a 2% bid deposit and payment and performance bonds, each equal to 100% of the contract amount. Pavement restoration is not required. - Term: One construction season, with a possible additional 12-month renewal by mutual agreement; unit prices remain unchanged during the renewal. - Attachment discrepancy: One attachment lists a base bid for five conference-room murals on interior glass and a bid total of $185,000. This appears unrelated to the water and sewer solicitation and is not treated as part of the requested work.
