Manhole Cover Raising Services 2026

The Town of Enfield, Connecticut, through its Department of Public Works, is soliciting proposals for manhole cover raising services. The scope of work involves raising manhole frames and covers, replacing damaged units, or clearing paved-over frames for approximately 25 plus known standard or watertight manhole covers within the town. All work must adhere to the Connecticut Department of Transportation Form 819 Standard Specifications. The contractor is responsible for obtaining all necessary permits, providing work zone safety signage, and disposing of all fill material at their own expense. Manhole frames and covers will be supplied by the Water Pollution Control Facility. The contract term begins upon execution and runs through June 30, 2027, with the possibility of two additional one-year renewals, not to exceed 36 months total. Award decisions will be based on the best interests of the Town, and the lowest price is not the sole determining factor. Qualified bidders must demonstrate at least five years of experience in similar projects and maintain significant insurance coverages, including 5 million dollars in umbrella liability and 1 million dollars for general and auto liability. Proposals must be submitted in a sealed envelope to the Director of Finance by 11:00 a.m. EST on November 17, 2026. Electronic submissions via the CTSource website are not accepted. Submissions must include one original and one copy in PDF format on electronic media, signed by an authorized representative. The Town of Enfield is exempt from Federal Excise and Connecticut Sales and Use taxes.
