It is the responsibility of the interested parties to monitor this site for additional information pertaining to this Notice. GOVERNMENT REQUIREMENTS: Under the five planned Contracts, the contractor will be required to provide the following construction services: 1. Porter County Storm Sewer Improvements (estimated magnitude of construction cost is between $1,000,000 and $5,000,000) – The contractor will be required to improvements of approximately 800 linear feet of channel improvements for the roadside ditch, from the existing confluence with Squirrel Creek to the proposed drop structure/relief sewer to the South Haven Elementary School (SHES) flood storage facility. The channel improvements would be provided to increase conveyance and eliminate the need for 54-inch storm sewer along the entire stretch of McCool Road. Construction will also include approximately 1,200 linear feet of 54” relief sewer extending from the limits of the roadside ditch (southwest of the intersection of McCool Road and Midway Drive) to the South Haven Elementary School (SHES) flood control basin (constructed by others). 2. City of Crown Point Sanitary Sewer Improvements (estimated magnitude of construction cost is between $1,000,000 and $5,000,000) – The contractor will be required to installation of the following rehabilitation work components for the combined sewers: 700 feet of 8-inch Cured-In-Place-Pipe Liner (CIPP), 400 feet of 10-inch CIPP, 6500 feet of 12-inch CIPP, and up to 40 manholes to be rehabilitated as well as installation of a 36” flow meter and 48” sanitary doghouse manhole (up to 9’ complete). Manholes and sewer segments would be rehabilitated to include cementitious lining amongst other component work, while the sewer segments would receive cured-in-place pipe lining (CIPP), and/or point repairs. 3. Gary Sanitary District – Gary, IN 13th Avenue Sewer Replacement (estimated magnitude of construction cost is between $1,000,000 and $5,000,000) – The contractor will be required to remediate compromised sewers in Gary, Indiana. The proposed project area is located on 13th Avenue bounded on the west by Roosevelt Place, on the east by Johnson Street. The existing poured in place concrete sanitary sewer (30-inch, 42-inch, and 48-inch) is severely corroded, crumbling, and has recently failed forming a large sinkhole. The proposed project will replace up to approximately 2,030 linear feet of existing sewer line with a new reinforced concrete sewer with the same sizes, and in the same location and slope as the existing sewer. The new sewer will connect to the existing sewer at the west end manhole on Roosevelt Place. The project will also include nine new manholes, removal of existing manholes and pipes, dewatering, bypass pumping, and pavement repair. This proposed project is expected to accommodate the city’s needs for the next 50 years. 4. Lake Station, IN Lift Station Replacement (estimated magnitude of construction cost is between $500,000 and $1,000,000) – The contractor will be required to reroute 18th & Union Pump Station to Crossroads. The Crossroads lift station (LS) must be replaced. It is past its useful life and has recently had emergency repairs made to bolster its structural stability. This LS will be sized to accommodate the additional flow from the upstream rerouted sewers as well as growth in the Crossroads LS basin. 5. Gary Sanitary District – Gary, IN Water Treatment Plant Upgrades (estimated magnitude of construction cost is between $1,000,000 and $5,000,000) – The contractor will be required to perform treatment process which occurs at the headworks of the plant, and consists of a single trash rack followed by a mechanical screening and grit removal. Grit removal is obtained through the grit dewatering system: grit pumps, grit classifiers, process piping, grit hopper and bin activator. The Grit Dewatering Improvements Project will replace the existing grit dewatering equipment with higher capacity and more robust equipment, creating a system that allows Gary Sanitary District (GSD) to meet the grit loading it receives from the collection system and reducing the burden on the primary treatment systems. The Gary Sanitary District (GSD) Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) is a regional facility servicing an area of approximately 400 square miles and a population
