Pursuant to an April 2021 Amended Consent Judgement with the Missouri Department of Natural Resources, the city of Springfield implemented a citywide Supplemental Overflow Control Plan to reduce sanitary sewer overflows. The plan includes a public sewer rehabilitation program (known as 'Group' projects) to reduce sanitary sewer overflows. The city has implemented Groups 1 through 5, and is ready for Group 6 Public Sewer Rehabilitation. Group 6 will require several agreements to contract for different types of public rehabilitation. The work to be done under this notice includes the following:
- Cleaning approximately 113,000 linear feet of sewer main, ranging from 8-inch to 36- inch diameter. The majority of the pipe will be 8-inch Vitrified Clay Pipe (VCP).
- CCTV of approximately 113,000 linear feet of sewer main, ranging from 8-inch to 36-inch diameter. The majority of the pipe will be 8-inch VCP. Pre- and post-rehabilitation CCTV will be required. Note that NASSCO PACP/ LACP/ MACP standards are to be followed. The city expects thorough video of each service lateral connection to drive future rehabilitation of those connections. Post-rehabilitation CCTV will be completed after all main line CIPP rehabilitation is completed in a batch order.
- CIPP rehabilitation of approximately 113,000 linear feet of the cleaned and televised sewer main at the discretion and authorization of the city of Springfield. The majority of the existing pipe to be lined will be VCP with a small amount of Reinforced Concrete Pipe and other pipe types of 8-inch diameter to 36-inch diameter. The majority of the pipe will be 8-inch VCP.
There are existing sanitary sewer facilities, within different areas of Springfield, that require accelerated cleaning or maintenance or have severe inflow and infiltration issues and overflows. The city of Springfield has identified those defects and has determined the defects to include in this project. The main schedule and location maps have been included in the bid documents. As work progresses, the city will continue to review other existing collection system conditions. The city reserves the right to remove mains identified on the main schedule and substitute with mains of approximate equal length and diameter that are found to have critical issues.
This project is financed through the Missouri State Revolving Fund, established by the sale of Missouri Water Pollution Control bonds and federal Capitalization Grants to Missouri. Neither the Missouri Department of Natural Resources, its divisions, nor its employees will be party to the contract at any tier.
