The City of Rochester is seeking proposals from qualified Consultants ("Consultant(s)") to provide engineering design, bidding, construction administration and resident project representative (RPR) services required for three separate public works construction projects that will replace a total of an estimated 2,978 existing lead water services on various streets within the City.

The IIJA LSLR Group 6B project is expected to involve replacement of 1,058 services and a smaller number of inside services. The IIJA LSLR Group 6C project is expected to involve replacement of 1,116 services and a smaller number of inside services. Work will also involve surface restoration that is limited to pavement and lawn repair due to the trench excavation. Chip sealing or milling and resurfacing will not be included in this project.
