Explanation
§ Sanitary sewer pipe relining for facilities is a trenchless technology used to repair and rehabilitate smaller drain lines to extend the useful life of the system.
§ On November 7, 2025, the city issued a Request for Proposals (RFP); one response was received.
§ Bizzy Bee Plumbing, Inc. meets the city’s needs in terms of qualifications, experience, cost, and responsiveness to RFP requirements.
§ At renewal, potential price adjustments may be considered based on legitimate and justified increases in the cost of doing business. The ability to consider price adjustments also allows the city to accept decreases, if warranted.

Charlotte Business INClusion
Contract goals were not established for this contract because the scope of work or goods does not present viable subcontracting opportunities. Bizzy Bee Plumbing, Inc. will be responsible 100% of the work or goods, and there are no opportunities to include subcontractors. This assessment was confirmed by CBI and the respective department after reviewing the project’s scope and potential for division into subcontracting opportunities.
