Paul Director of Purchasing & Risk Management RFP 7546 Directional Boring & Trenching Page 3 of 86 7546 DIRECTIONAL BORING AND TRENCHING PROJECT SCOPE OF WORK I. PURPOSE & BACKGROUND A. PURPOSE The City of Fort Collins is requesting proposals from qualified construction Contractors to perform directional boring and/or trenching operations, potholing to locate underground utilities or verify clear zones for traffic signal caisson installation, vacuum excavation of traffic signal caissons and to dewater caissons. The City of Fort Collins Light & Power Operations Department (L&P) will be the primary users of this contract, while the Traffic Operations Department will also request work of the chosen Contractors. Additional City departments may utilize this contract occasionally. The selected Contractor(s) will work closely with L&P crews, L&P customers, and other City Project Managers. The City intends to select a primary Contractor to perform directional boring and/or trenching operations to assist L&P in installing underground electric lines, mostly in existing subdivisions; and a second Contractor to assist with this scope of work should the workload become too great. Both Contractors may be asked to assist Traffic and other departments with potholing and vacuum excavation. The amount of work required for the calendar year has no guaranteed quantities and quantities in the bid tab will be used for bidding and award purposes only. The selected consultants may be retained by the City of Fort Collins Utilities annually for up to five years to provide these services as they are required. The City of Fort Collins shall have the option to bid specific projects as deemed necessary. B. L&P BACKGROUND Throughout the City of Fort Collins there are areas of underground electric lines that are nearing the end of their life-cycle. Many of these are over 30 years old and have been marked for “reconstruction”. This typically will involve installing new electric lines in the front of lots and will require directional boring and/or trenching. Electric mains as well as services will be installed throughout the process. A smaller project may consist of a single pothole. Some areas recently annexed to the City will have some construction to underground existing overhead and/or “rebuild” existing underground. This area of work will include residential as well as business customers. Light & Power’s (L&P) Project Managers (PM) will draw up work orders with mapping for all of the work to be done. Conduits, cables, flush-mounted vaults, transformers and switch cabinets will be installed during the course of the awarded contract(s). The main area of assistance from a Contractor will be in the installing of the conduits as well as at RFP 7546 Directional Boring & Trenching Page 4 of 86 times non-energized cables for services to customers. This likely will include directional boring as well as trenching. The Contractor is expected to possess the experienced personnel, the proper equipment, and the necessary tools to trench and/or directional bore in a wide variety of differing physical locations and conditions (including shale), to backfill, compact, remove spoils from trenching/directional boring, compact and re-landscape with various materials, to install L&P’s equipment. C. TRAFFIC OPERATIONS BACKGROUND The Traffic Operations Department is looking for an on-call boring services contractor. The scope of work will vary from potholes and vacuum excavation to directional boring and trenching. Construction activities specific to Traffic Operations work may include: 1. Potholing to locate underground utilities or verify clear zones for traffic signal caisson installation. 2. Vacuum excavation of traffic signal caissons. 3. Dewatering caissons. II. SCOPE OF WORK When a need is identified, City Project Managers (PM) will contact the Contractor to discuss the scope of the work order, perhaps meeting onsite.

The Contractor will submit a Work Order Estimate Sheet (Exhibit E) with charges estimated for the work order. During the project, the Contractor will be expected to submit a weekly log of services completed. The Contractor is required to submit an invoice for each work order upon completion and acceptance of the project. Typical construction activities include: 1.
