Auxiliary Lake Intake Sediment and Debris Removal

The City of Murfreesboro, through its Water Resources Department, is soliciting sealed bids under ITB-15-2027 for the inspection and cleaning of the Auxiliary Lake Intake. The scope of work requires the removal of all submerged sediment and debris, as well as the clearing of foreign materials such as sticks and trash from the river side of the intake to prevent blockages. Key deliverables include a DVD video of the inspection and a written report with color photos assessing all major components of the intake structure, including a 36-inch diameter intake pipe approximately 50 feet in length. Sediment must be captured using an approved method, such as a filtering sock, and the city designee must approve the containment method before work begins. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. Bidders must submit one electronic copy of their proposal via the OpenGov portal by November 13, 2026, at 8:00 PM CST. Successful contractors must maintain comprehensive general liability insurance of at least 1,000,000 dollars, along with automotive and workers compensation policies. Payment is issued within 30 days of receiving a monthly invoice, with final payment withheld until all work is approved by Joe Russell of the Water Resources Department. All work must comply with city, county, state, and federal regulations, and the contractor must provide a standard manufacturer's warranty for all goods and services.
