ITB: HORIZONTAL DIRECTIONAL DRILLING ST. JAMES BRIDGE

Brunswick County is soliciting informal bids for the installation of two (2) horizontal directional drills at 2785 Pinecrest Drive, Southport, NC 28461. On September 16, 2024, Potential Tropical Cyclone #8 made landfall in North Carolina, resulting in significant flash flooding that caused road washouts and exposed or compromised utility infrastructure at multiple locations in Brunswick County. The project includes installing a 6” water line approximately 250 feet in length and a 4” sewer force main approximately 500 feet in length, as well as abandoning an existing 4” force main approximately 150 feet in length. The contractor shall pressure test, flush, chlorinate, perform a bacteriological (BAC-T) test, and connect the new lines to existing infrastructure to ensure full operational integrity and compliance with state regulations while adhering to all Brunswick County specifications and requirements. The existing sewer line shall remain in operation during the installation of the directional drill and will only be shut down for the final connections. The contractor must plan and execute the work to minimize downtime during this process. Brunswick County will handle pumping and hauling operations while the line is offline.
