REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS (RFP)

FOR

OAKWOOD AVENUE WATER MAIN SIPP

SECTION 1 – INTRODUCTION & BACKGROUND

The Town of Munster, hereinafter referred to as the “Town”, is seeking the services of

an experienced and qualified firm or company, hereinafter referred to as the “Proposer”

or “Contractor”, to provide Spray-In-Place Polymeric Lining (SIPP) for approximately

1,300 feet of existing water main along Oakwood Avenue. The existing water main is

located between Castle Drive and Oakwood Avenue from 33rd Avenue to Fairway

Avenue.

Water main serving homes along Oakwood Avenue is located along common rear lot

lines, and excavation to replace the pipe would be disruptive to existing lawns, fences,

and other items within the limits of the required trench. The Town has chosen to use

trenchless technology methods to avoid disruption to the maximum extent practicable.

The existing main consists of 6-inch cast iron pipe, with 27 service connections within

the rehabilitation limits.

additional items required for a project of this type, and the Contractor shall include and

minimum, the following items.

The Contractor shall provide a temporary above-ground potable water service to

supply uninterrupted water service to affected homes. The Contractor shall take

applicable laws and standards.

All materials used for providing temporary water service to residents shall be NSF
