Town Branch Basin Sewer Improvements - Alignment 3 (TB-40.1)

The City of Bentonville is soliciting bids for the Town Branch Basin Sewer Improvements – Alignment 3 (TB-40.1), a construction project focused on upgrading approximately 1,600 linear feet of gravity sewer with 24-inch diameter ductile iron and PVC mains and installing approximately 501 linear feet of 36-inch steel encasement via multiple auger bores at key crossings. The work is divided into two distinct work zones, involving upsizing the existing sewer, replacing appurtenances, and all associated tasks necessary to deliver a fully operational system for the City’s Water Utilities Department. The project requires strict compliance with CSI MasterFormat™, ASTM, and Corps of Engineers standards, with all work performed in coordination with existing infrastructure and other contractors. Performance is governed by the EJCDC C-700 contract template, not federal FAR clauses, with responsibilities clearly defined for inspections, quality control, substitutions, and corrections under Article-based provisions. Bids are due June 4, 2026, and will be evaluated using a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) methodology, where the lowest responsive and responsible bidder will be selected without trade-offs. The contract requires full compliance with technical submittals in PDF, DWG, DOC, EXC, and DB formats through Procore, with payment applications processed via the same platform. The project is located in Bentonville, Arkansas, with substantial completion required within 105 days for Zone 1 and 140 days for Zone 2, and final completion within 170 days of commencement. Bidders must submit detailed qualifications, financial statements, safety certifications, and diverse business documentation if applicable, along with bonded bids and insurance certificates naming the City and Engineer as additional insureds. No contract value is specified in the solicitation due to incomplete pricing data, and no federal accounting, invoicing, or payment office details are provided; instead, the City administers the contract through its local procurement framework. All materials must be protected during transport and storage using manufacturer guidelines, with labeling requirements mandating agency-approved identification and legibility throughout the project lifecycle, while prohibiting manufacturer logos on public surfaces.
