CDBE SS7655 Shady Lane FM Extension

The City of Columbia is soliciting bids from qualified contractors to extend the existing 6-inch sanitary sewer force main that currently ends at 24238MH. The project involves lengthening the force main approximately 2,600 LF down to a larger 24-inch sewer main and terminating at 24266MH. This force main extension will reduce the likelihood of surcharging in the existing sewer line by flowing into a larger capacity sewer main. The contractor will be responsible for securing all necessary licenses and permits, providing proof of financial responsibility, and completing the work within the specified period. The City reserves the right to accept or reject proposals in part or in their entirety. Some key points to consider are: • The project requires a bid bond of 5% of the bid amount and a payment bond of 100% of the contract price. • The contractor must provide a CDBE Goal Affidavit and Good Faith Effort documentation, if applicable. • The City has a goal of 15% participation for historically disadvantaged business enterprises. • The contractor must comply with all federal provisions, including those related to small, minority-owned, and women-owned businesses. • The project is subject to liquidated damages of $500 per day for each calendar day of delay beyond the contract time.
