Water and Sewer Service Installations and Repairs

The Livingston County Water & Sewer Authority (LCWSA) is soliciting proposals for its 2027 contract to provide water and sewer service installations and repairs within public rights-of-way or easements in New York. The scope of work includes new sewer and water service installations, mainline repairs, emergency repairs, and surface restoration including paving. Specific technical requirements include the use of wet taps for water services, the installation of clean outs for sewer repairs, and strict adherence to ASTM and AWWA standards for plastic tubing and brass components. Due to the critical nature of the infrastructure, water main repairs requiring a shut-off must be completed within four hours to prevent the issuance of boil water notices. LCWSA intends to establish a matrix of multiple contractors to ensure flexibility and timely completion of work, with awards based on the lowest bid for specific locations, service sizes, and scopes of work. Selected contractors must adhere to New York State prevailing wage rates, OSHA safety rules, and maintain a safety level of 1.0 or better. Response times are strictly enforced, requiring a 24-hour turnaround for installation inquiries via email and a 4-hour turnaround for repair inquiries via phone. Proposals must be submitted by December 4, 2026, at 4:00 p.m., and must include completed price proposal sheets, standard contract requirements, and lobbying law compliance certifications.
