SANITARY SEWER REHABILITATION PROGRAM JOB ORDER CONTRACT

The City of Phoenix is seeking qualified contractors to do business on an on-call basis to provide Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation Job Order Contracting (JOC) Services for rehabilitation of primarily 8-inch to 15-inch diameter sanitary sewer but may include larger pipe diameters within the City of Phoenix wastewater collection system as described below. Up to five contractors may be selected for this JOC.

A Small Business Enterprise goal has been waived for this project.

The City of Phoenix has approximately 5,000 miles of gravity sewer with small diameter pipe comprising 92% of the wastewater collection system. The purpose of this program is to maintain the reliability and integrity of the wastewater collections system by rehabilitating existing infrastructure.

This program is mainly for 8-inch to 15-inch diameter clay pipe, but rehabilitation may include pipe diameters greater than 15 inches and other pipe materials. The primary method of sanitary sewer rehabilitation is cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) utilizing felt and resin lining process. Occasionally the work may include dig and replace in lieu of CIPP-lining of existing pipe. At a minimum, the Contractor will be expected to successfully perform the following construction services, including, but not limited to:

• Traffic control
• Sewer cleaning
• CCTV or digital scans of sewer pipe/manholes
• Bypass pumping
• Trenching for bypass piping
• Pavement restoration
• Spot repair
• PVC-liner repair
• Install cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) structural liner
• Cleanout replacement/removal
• Manhole rehabilitation, repair or replacement
• New manhole installation
• Odor control
• All other work as it relates to rehabilitation of sanitary sewer system

During the term of the JOC, work is performed as a series of individual Job Orders. Each Job Order Agreement, initiated by the City, is defined cooperatively by the City and the Contractor. A scope, schedule, and price are agreed upon, and the Contractor is directed to proceed with the work. JOAs may include pre-construction services, construction work, project management and contract administration as comprised within the Contractor’s construction management plan.

The scope of work will vary with each JOA. Minor design services may be required for some JOAs, however, most will be designed through consultants under a separate contract with the City. City staff may design some projects.

The City of Phoenix will provide construction administration, inspection, and acceptance material testing for the JOAs.
