Sewer mains vary in depth between 3 feet and 26 feet deep and are located in various soil, rock and easement conditions.

The contract will be for a one year period with the option to renew for four additional one year periods providing both part agree and funds are available.

In comparing proposals, consideration will not be confined to price only. The successful bidder will be one whose services are judged to best serve the interests of the City when price, safety, quality and delivery are considered.

A contract will be awarded to the bidder submitting the lowest responsible bid meeting the requirements of this specification.
