The City of Moline is seeking contractors for on-call water service line replacement work supporting its drinking water infrastructure.
- **Government buyer:** City of Moline, Utilities Department; Engineering Department and Drinking Water Infrastructure program, Moline, Illinois.
- **Scope:** On-call excavation, water service line supply and installation, abandonment of old lines, backfill, site restoration, landscaping, and related work. Hard-surface replacement is excluded, though removal is included in the bid schedule.
- **Key bid items:** Base bid includes 60 feet of 1-inch bored-or-pulled copper pipe; one 1-inch corporation connection; one 1-inch curb stop and box; 15 cubic yards of trench backfill; removal work; complete site restoration; traffic control; and one complete connection inside a home. Contingency items include temporary patching, 1.5- and 2-inch connections and fittings, and 1-, 1.5-, and 2-inch copper pipe in bored-or-pulled and open-cut installations. Contingency items do not determine the award comparison.
- **OEMs and vendors:** No manufacturers, product brands, or contractor vendors are named.
- **Notable requirements:** The City anticipates approximately six replacements per month and plans to select two responsible and responsive contractors based on base bid items. Typical notice is 48 hours; emergency work may require mobilization in about two hours. Contractors may decline three locations before removal from the program; emergency assignments do not count toward that limit. Prevailing wages apply. No bid bond is required, but the presumed awardee must provide performance, labor and material, and one-year maintenance bonds. CCDD disposal requires advance coordination, qualified monitoring and testing, and engineer approval.
