Emergency Sewer Services Including Sewer Pump Stations (Re-bid)

The Town of Berlin, Connecticut, is soliciting proposals under RFP 2027-12 for emergency sewer services, including the maintenance and operation of sewer pump stations. The scope of work involves providing labor and equipment at hourly rates for routine and emergency tasks such as cleaning and jetting sewer mains, pumping sewage from pump stations, pulling pumps for repair or replacement, performing camera work in sewer lines, and easement clearing and brush hogging. The anticipated contract is a two-year agreement commencing around January 1, 2027, with the possibility of renewal. All work must be performed by the bidder's full-time employees, and a qualified superintendent who is a principal of the firm must be available for each job upon request. To be eligible, proposers must hold a State of Connecticut P-7 license and provide comprehensive insurance coverage, including at least 1 million dollars for general liability, professional liability, umbrella liability, automobile liability, and workers compensation. The Town will evaluate proposals based on the bidder's experience with similar Connecticut municipalities, responsiveness to requirements, references, and cost competitiveness, though the award will be based on the Town's overall best interest rather than price alone. Required submission documents include a P-7 license, a certificate of insurance, a sample billing format, a W-9, and a completed electronic pricing table. Proposals must be submitted via the Town's e-Procurement portal by October 29, 2026.
