On Call Infrastructure Repair and Replacement

The City of Blue Springs is seeking quotes from qualified contractors to provide Repair Services for Water Distribution System, Wastewater Collection System and Stormwater Collection system infrastructure as a yearly contract for the Public Works Operations Division. These jobs are generally in response to system failures requiring an immediate response to minimize property loss or environmental damage and are generally expected to be of short duration. Additional repair jobs may include those for which the Operations Division does not have immediate access to appropriate equipment or available resources to complete the work in a timely manner. This contract may be awarded to more than one contractor to provide redundancy and ensure resources are available when they are needed, thereby providing prompt service to the community and minimizing the impact upon vendor's resources. Jobs to be assigned to vendors will be identified by Operation's Management. Contractors are required to begin mobilization activities upon notification by Operation's Management of a condition, given time to assess the scope of work and an appropriate set of equipment and personnel to complete the work. Because this work involves the repair of buried infrastructure, the scope of each job may not be entirely known until work commences. All repairs will be performed to the standards outlined in the City of Blue Springs' Design and Construction Manual and standard practices utilized by the Blue Springs Water Department. Jobs will always be to repair an infrastructure defect or failure to its original configuration and will not include system upsizing or configuration changes. The focus of each job will be to mitigate a failure in a system and return the work site to a safe condition or to complete a job for which the Operations Division do not have appropriate equipment or available resources. This may include the backfill and compaction of an excavation and to restore a temporary driving surface or eliminate a hazard. It does not include the restoration of final paved surfaces, curbing, drives, landscaping, or other property. That work will generally be completed by the City. The City reserves the right, if mutually agreed by the contractor, to extend this service agreement for up to four (4) additional 1-year terms at the same pricing quoted for year one (1) including annual inflation adjustment. The City will determine whether to accept year 2 through year 5 service agreements 45 days prior to the completion of the previous years' service agreement. All inquiries should be addressed to Payton Dodd, City of Blue Springs, pdodd@bluespringsmo.gov. This request does not commit the City of Blue Springs to enter into an agreement, to pay any cost incurred in the preparation of price quotations in response to this request, or to procure or contract the services or supplies. The City of Blue Springs reserves the right to accept or reject any or all quotations received as a result of this request, to negotiate with any qualified sources, or to cancel on part or in its entirety the quotes submitted, if it is in the best interest to the City of Blue Springs.
