Lead Service Lines Identification Project - Phase I

The Lead Service Lines Identification Project - Phase I is a solicitation by the Town of Greenburgh, New York, to identify the materials used in existing water service lines. The scope of work involves conducting test pits at water service valve locations to determine the material of the lines from the main to the curb box and from the curb box to the building side. The project includes site investigation, excavation, backfilling, and the restoration of asphalt roads, concrete hardscapes, and topsoil. Additionally, the contractor may be required to perform emergency water service line repairs or replacements. All work must be completed within 180 calendar days from the receipt of the Notice to Proceed, with liquidated damages of 500 dollars per calendar day for delays. The contract is structured as a bid specification with a total base bid consisting of unit prices for mobilization, various test pit types, and restoration services, including specific allowances for landscaping and miscellaneous repairs. Bidders must provide a bid bond or certified check and a consent of surety for performance and labor and materials bonds. Compliance requirements include New York State Prevailing Wage Rates, Mandatory Affirmative Action requirements, and the Buy American clause. Safety standards require the designation of a Soil Competent Person per C.F.R. 1628-3(E) and adherence to NYSDOT Standard Specifications. Field identification must be performed in the presence of the Engineer and involves pressure washing the pipe, performing magnet tests, and providing focused photographic documentation.
