The City has identified watermains that are in need of replacement or rehabilitation.  The replacement/ rehabilitation of cast iron watermain is consistent with the City’s strategy to upgrade aged and deficient watermains to improve supply capacity and reliability. Replacement of the old cast iron watermains will also offer improved reliability (less risk of breaks) as well as improve water quality and flows for domestic and fire demand.

The City intends to replace the deficient watermain either by:

(a)  Replacement using open cut; or

(b)  Rehabilitate using the CIPP (Cured-In-Place Pipe) Structural Liner

The City anticipates issuing a Request to Tender (RFT) every year for the replacement / and or rehabilitation of existing cast iron watermains to Contractors who have been prequalified through this Request for Prequalification (“RFPQ”).  The estimated value of annual contract is anticipated to be approx. $3M.

Only prequalified contractors will be eligible to submit a Bid.

This Request for Prequalification (“RFPQ”) is a formal request for submissions from interested Contractors.  Contractors responding to this RFPQ must be able to demonstrate expertise and familiarity of projects completed of a similar size and complexity in either method of construction.
