650872-162001

The Blueprint Miller-Kelton Newton/Bedford Lateral Lining Project 1 (CIP 650872-162001) is a construction solicitation issued by the City of Columbus Department of Public Utilities. The project involves the rehabilitation of approximately 640 sanitary sewer service laterals using trenchless cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) technology. The scope of work includes sewer cleaning, video recording and inspection, and the installation of CIPP liners and service connection seals across various mainline diameters. The estimated contract value is in excess of 2,000,000 dollars, and the award will be granted to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with a local preference policy applied for tie-breaking. Bids must be submitted exclusively through Bid Express by October 14, 2026, at 3:00 PM Eastern Time. Because the project is funded by the Ohio EPA’s Water Pollution Control Loan Fund, contractors must comply with several mandatory requirements, including Davis-Bacon wage rates, American Iron and Steel provisions, and a 5.4 percent DBE subcontractor goal. Technical standards are governed by NASSCO specifications and ASTM F-1216/F-1743 for sampling and testing. Required submissions include a bid bond, various EEO and debarment certifications, and documentation of experience and competency.
