The Town of Manchester, Connecticut, is soliciting proposals for solicitation number 26/27-17 to furnish and install inserts for Siphons 1 and 3 at the Globe Hollow Water Treatment Facility. The scope of work includes the repair of the trough discharge point, including all necessary piping, fittings, supports, and seals to ensure a watertight and serviceable discharge consistent with previously repaired siphons. All materials used must be equal or superior to those used on Siphons 2 and 4 and must be NSF/ANSI 61-compliant for potable water service. The project requires a phased approach where Siphon 1 must be tested and operational for one week before work begins on Siphon 3. Proposals are due by November 17, 2026, via the OpenGov portal. The award will be based on a weighted evaluation of price (50%), project schedule (25%), and familiarity with the Globe Hollow Water Treatment Plant (25%). Bidders must provide a bid bond or cashier's check for 5% of the total bid and must be prepared to provide performance and labor and materials bonds equal to 100% of the contract price upon award. Compliance with Connecticut prevailing wage laws and OSHA 10-hour construction safety certification for all employees is mandatory. Required submission documents include a current W-9, SAM registration number, FEIN/EIN, a five-year project history, and a detailed project approach.
