Scope of Work: This project generally consists of rehabilitation of existing outdated and/damaged sewer collection

project is to rehab sewer mains and sewer manholes using Cured-In-Place Pipe (CIPP) rehabilitation, and other
repairs to associated manholes, services, and other related appurtenances. The proposed wastewater pipe in these
Wards is experiencing inflow and had experienced the greatest number of sewer leaks in the City. All proposed
mains below will be cleaned, and video inspected during the CIPP process. Any point repairs of the sewer line
needed will be recommended by the contractor and engineer after the video inspection. A total of approximately
77,919 L.F. of sewer pipe and 297 manholes will be rehabbed and lined. The project will be bid under a unit price
format.
