Explanation
§ This Project will replace 4,200 feet of the existing Stowe Creek sanitary sewer force main along Shopton Road West and Rock Island Road (Council District 3), to increase sewer system capacity.
§ The Project also includes installing 750 feet of 10-inch water main to connect existing water mains at Starbrook Drive and Huntingtowne Farms Lane (Council District 6), to improve water system performance.
§ Both tasks will require horizontal directional drilling, which is a unique construction method that most contractors do not perform. It was decided to combine the two Projects in order to increase interest from contractors, in an effort to receive a higher quantity of bids and competition.
§ On April 3, 2018, the City issued an Invitation to Bid for Stowe Creek Replacement Force Main and Huntingtowne Farms Water Main; three bids were received from interested service providers.
§ R.H. Price, Inc. was selected as the lowest responsive, responsible bidder.
§ The project is anticipated to be complete by first quarter 2019.
