Summary:
Summary
The purpose of this project is for the repair, rehabilitation, and replacement of sanitary sewer pipes, manholes and appurtenances at various locations throughout the County. This work order contract is necessary to construct individual projects that are typically smaller in cost and are more efficiently managed through a work-order type contract rather than advertising and bidding each small project or repair individually. This approach reduces the overall construction timeframe and provides cost-benefits to the County by grouping numerous small projects under a work order type contract. It also provides the flexibility to address unanticipated infrastructure needs (i.e., emergency failures), and provides the ability to quickly mitigate inflow and infiltration (I&I) and sanitary sewer overflow (SSO) occurrences.
