Requests for Proposals, Bids and Quotes

During the course of normal maintenance, repairs or upgrades of city utilities (water, sewer, stormwater, etc.), the City occasionally requires services deemed urgent and/or beyond the capabilities of “in-house” resources. The City intends to create a list of qualified Contractors willing to contract with the City of Burlington Department of Public Works on an as-needed basis and to establish in advance, the unit pricing for compensations of such services.

The City of Burlington Department of Public Works has had recent success using on-call contractors through a similar procurement process in 2019.  This request for proposals is intended to update our list of qualified on-call contractors and the maximum limiting amount available for this important work.

The City of Burlington Department of Public Works is seeking agreements with up to eight (8) qualified and licensed contractors to provide services required to complete work associated with both planned projects as well as emergency maintenance and repairs of city utilities. The work can include, but not be limited to: installation, replacement, and repairs of water distribution pipes, valves, hydrants, gravity sewers, sewage force mains, catch basins, manholes, storm pipes, stormwater infiltration systems or rain gardens, pavement failures (sinkholes), and erosional damage throughout the City, including excavation, backfill, paving and site restoration.
