Description

The Lansing Board of Water & Light (BWL) is seeking a qualified consulting firm to provide comprehensive surveying, base mapping, design, permitting, geotechnical, and construction‑engineering services for the replacement and installation of multiple 8‑inch ductile‑iron water mains throughout the city. The scope covers topographic surveys, detailed design drawings, three budgetary design scenarios, permit acquisition, pavement coring, traffic control, and full construction‑phase engineering support including inspections, CCTV coordination, and final as‑built documentation. The work is divided into five tasks with specific deliverable dates, culminating in a final walkthrough and punch‑list completion by May 2028. • Survey existing utilities, curb lines, pavement types, hydrants, valves, and underground structures for ~8,000 ft of water main. • Prepare base maps and detailed design plans (scale 1” = 40 ft) showing proposed mains, connections, valves, hydrants, and associated civil details. • Provide up to three design‑scenario cost estimates (open‑cut, directional drilling, jack‑and‑bore). • Assist BWL in obtaining all required permits and coordinate with City of Lansing and utility owners. • Conduct geotechnical pavement coring (minimum one core per 500 ft) and produce comprehensive core reports. • Deliver construction‑engineering services: field supervision, inspection, traffic control, material testing, CCTV of sanitary sewers, change‑order processing, and final documentation. • Meet phased deadlines: design deliverables by 9 Feb 2027; construction‑engineering services completed by 21 May 2028.

Budget estimate

$500,000 – $1,500,000

Based on the extensive scope—topographic surveys for ~8,000 ft of water main, detailed design drawings, three design‑scenario cost estimates, permit acquisition, geotechnical coring, and full construction‑phase engineering support—the contract is likely to be a mid‑size professional‑services award. Comparable municipal water‑main design contracts in Michigan range from $500 k for limited‑scope surveys to $1.5 M for full design‑to‑construction engineering services. Assuming a blended rate of $150–$250 per hour for senior engineers and $80–$120 for technicians, and estimating roughly 3,500–5,000 total labor hours plus direct expenses, the expected budget would fall between $500,000 and $1,500,000. Factors influencing the final amount include the chosen construction method (open‑cut vs. directional drilling), the number of design scenarios submitted, and any additional geotechnical testing beyond the baseline requirements.
