Blueprint Miller Kelton Newton Bedford Permeable Pavement

The City of Columbus is seeking bids for two interconnected infrastructure projects: the installation of permeable pavers and waterline improvements in the Newton Bedford area. The project involves constructing approximately 7,174 square yards of permeable pavers along four local streets—Carpenter Street, 22nd Street, Linwood Avenue, and Kimball Place—within the public right-of-way, utilizing temporary easements and city-owned land. In addition to the paving work, the project includes installing new storm sewer systems, modifying existing drainage infrastructure, replacing curbs and sidewalks, and laying approximately 1,424 linear feet of 6-8 inch waterlines. The work must adhere to the city's detailed drawings, technical specifications, special provisions, and construction standards. Bids are to be submitted exclusively through Bid Express by October 22, 2025, at 3:00 PM Eastern Time, with no physical or email submissions accepted. The bidding process involves an electronic opening, with bids posted immediately for review before awarding the contract, which is estimated to be valued between two and five million dollars. The solicitation emphasizes that there will be no pre-bid meeting, and any questions must be submitted via email, with responses posted as addenda on the bidding platform. This comprehensive project aims to enhance local streets with sustainable permeable pavement and upgraded water infrastructure, contributing to improved stormwater management and urban resilience in the Columbus area.
