AI overview
The Tennessee Wastewater Find and Fix program (Solicitation 3862) is a procurement initiative focused on identifying and repairing leaks, defects, and infiltration/inflow (I&I) issues within municipal wastewater collection systems across Tennessee. The program aims to reduce inflow and infiltration, prevent sanitary sewer overflows (SSOs), and extend the useful life of existing sewer infrastructure through systematic inspection, condition assessment, and targeted rehabilitation. Key work elements include cleaning, CCTV inspection, smoke testing, dye testing, manhole inspection, and the design and implementation of cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) lining, pipe bursting, or point repairs to address identified defects.
The successful contractor will be responsible for a multi-phase approach: initial system evaluation and defect identification, prioritization of repairs based on severity and cost-effectiveness, and completion of remedial construction. Deliverables include detailed inspection reports with video documentation, a prioritized repair schedule, and certification of all completed rehabilitation work. The contract is expected to span multiple years with an estimated total budget of up to $5 million. A pre-proposal conference is scheduled for September 24, 2026, at 10:00 AM Central Time, with attendance recommended but not mandatory.
Proposers must demonstrate experience in similar wastewater collection system rehabilitation projects, including relevant certifications, safety programs, and proven project management capabilities. All work must comply with state and local regulations, including Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC) standards for sewer rehabilitation. Proposals are due October 13, 2026, by 2:00 PM EDT. The anticipated award date is November 15, 2026, with work expected to commence by December 1, 2026.
Key dates include the pre-proposal conference on September 24, 2026, questions due by October 1, 2026, and proposal submissions due by October 13, 2026. Additional important milestones include the contractor selection and notification on November 15, 2026, and contract start on December 1, 2026.
