Sanitary Sewer Lateral Rehabilitation Services

The City of Clermont is seeking to establish a continuing services contract with multiple qualified contractors to provide cleaning, inspection, condition assessment, and rehabilitation services for sanitary sewer laterals and their connections to the main wastewater collection system. The program’s goals are to reduce infiltration and inflow, restore structural integrity, extend the system’s service life, and help maintain regulatory compliance. Work will be assigned through task orders over the contract term, with contractors responsible for all necessary labor, equipment, materials, and supervision. Key activities include cleaning sewer mains and laterals using hydraulic or mechanical methods; closed-circuit television (CCTV) inspection and condition assessments compliant with nationally recognized standards such as NASSCO PACP/LACP/MACP; and trenchless rehabilitation methods—such as cured-in-place pipe lining, lateral sealing, or chemical grouting—that meet ASTM standards and offer a minimum 50-year design life. Surface restoration following rehabilitation work is also required. The City intends to award contracts to the three lowest responsive bidders, retaining discretion to assign tasks individually or request competitive quotes for specific orders. While estimated quantities are provided for bidding, actual volumes may vary, and the City reserves the right to adjust the scope accordingly. Contractors must hold all relevant state and local licenses and demonstrate a minimum of five years of successful project experience in similar work. Insurance and bonding provisions are mandated, including a performance and payment bond at 110% of the contract value to guarantee faithful contract completion and supplier payment. The contract is subject to prevailing wage requirements under the Davis-Bacon Act with local wage determinations applicable to Lake County, Florida. The City utilizes the OpenGov e-Procurement Portal to manage bidding and vendor registration, facilitating streamlined electronic submissions and communications. This solicitation is managed by the City’s Procurement Services office, with points of contact including the Wastewater Collections Manager and Procurement Services Director.
