26-017-CIP

The Deer Run Sanitary Sewer Shed Infiltration and Inflow Mitigation Pilot Project, solicitation number 26-017-CIP, is a citywide initiative by the City of Dublin, Ohio, designed to identify and implement measures to reduce sanitary system overflows and water-in-basement events. With an engineer's estimate of $665,020, the project involves specialized sewer work including Cured in Place Pipe (CIPP) lateral lining, packer injection grouting, and comprehensive CCTV inspections. The construction period is scheduled to run from November 30, 2026, through April 1, 2027, with a Notice to Proceed expected on or after November 17, 2026. The City utilizes a lowest and best analysis for award, prioritizing domestic products and providing preference to Ohio-based bidders or those in border states, provided the price does not exceed the lowest non-Ohio bid by more than 5 percent. Technical requirements are stringent, requiring NASSCO PACP certified operators for inspections and adherence to City of Columbus and ODOT specifications. Key deliverables include Mpeg-4 video recordings of inspections and a two-year warranty against visible leakage for grouting work. Bidders must submit their proposals via Bid Express by October 28, 2026, and provide bid security equaling 10 percent of the total bid amount. Compliance with Ohio Prevailing Wage laws and strict confined space safety regulations is mandatory.
