Agenda Vote
Description:
The purpose of this project is to rehabilitate 18 pipes and structures along 9 different roads using approved methods to mitigate potential stormwater impacts to affected areas. The pipes range in sizes from 18" to 48" and are mostly corrugated metal pipes (CMP). The pipes will be lined with Cured-In-Place Pipe (C.I.P.P.).
The City of Roswell advertised the project (ITB K) on the City's website to the pre-qualified stormwater lining contractors. On July 31, 2025, two (2) bids were received in response to the subject solicitation. The bids ranged from \$355,471 to \$362,995 with the low bid being submitted by Inliner Solutions, LLC.
Staff recommends awarding the contract to Inline Solutions, LLC in an amount of \$355,471 and staff also requests that an amount of \$35,547 be allocated from the Stormwater Master Project List budget to account for unforeseen conditions.
Financial Impact:
Funding in the amount of \$391,018 is available in the Stormwater Fund in Org - 50743200, Project - 82016 (Stormwater Master Project List) for Stormwater Lining Projects.
