Request For Statements Of Qualifications For Sewer System Manhole And Pipeline Rehabilitation And Related Services

Sonoma County Water Agency, including its affiliated sanitation districts, is soliciting Statements of Qualifications under solicitation TW 25/26-142 to establish a list of qualified firms for as-needed sewer system manhole and pipeline rehabilitation services over a five-year period. The scope of work encompasses a wide range of specialized services, including defect, ring, and lid replacement, manhole lining, grouting, coatings, Cured-in-Place-Pipe lining, pipe bursting, slip lining, remote robotic repairs, and cellular concrete for void filling and utility abandonment.

To be eligible, firms and any identified subcontractors must be DIR-registered contractors and provide proof of registration. Evaluation is based on the thoroughness of the submission, with a 5 percent weighting preference given to local firms with a physical address in Sonoma County. While a rate schedule is required, costs are not used for the initial qualification evaluation. Selected consultants must adhere to a professional standard of care, comply with the County of Sonoma Living Wage Ordinance, and meet comprehensive insurance requirements, including general liability, workers compensation, and contractors pollution liability. All work is subject to prevailing wage requirements and DIR compliance monitoring. Submissions are due by 2:00 p.m. on October 14, 2026.
