BACKGROUND / JUSTIFICATION
This proposed contract will replace DWSD’s Contract 6003126 (Project# DWS-902) as part of its on-going repair work program. The work consists of repairing, trimming and/or removing pavement ,sidewalks, driveways and curb cuts, as needed throughout the City of Detroit.
In order to repair the leaks and breaks in DWSD’s water mains and sewers, repair work crews are required to open-cut street pavements, sidewalks and driveway areas to expose and repair DWSD’s lateral underground assets. The water/sewer repair contractors are responsible for repairing the leaking water mains - they are required to backfill the excavated areas and perform temporary (also called “soft”) restoration work. The subsequent permanent work (referred to as “hard restoration”) includes, but is not limited to, the removal of pavement cuts or patches, concrete pavement, high early strength no slump concrete base, remove and replacement of sidewalk, replacement of curb at various locations in the City of Detroit.
This water main replacement contract is one of a continuing series of contracts that replace the water mains in the City of Detroit having an extensive history of leaks and breaks. The new water mains and associated infrastructure will enhance the integrity of the DWSD Water System and ensure quality service to its customers. To protect the health and safety of our customers, existing Lead water services are being replaced from the new water main all the way to the customer meter.
Proposed Contract 6004444 for Project DWS-919, will continue providing hard surface restoration services throughout the City of Detroit on an as-needed basis to provide better services to citizens of Detroit and meet the needs of future development.
