Body
Dear Sir:
Contract documents and specifications have been prepared for Contract 06-154-3S, Summit Conduit Rehabilitation, Stickney Service Area.
The purpose of this project is to rehabilitate sewer segments and inlet and outlet structures of the Summit Conduit. The conduit, 1,600 feet in length, was constructed in 1918 and was modified twice. The sewer has, therefore, three distinct segments with different cross-sections, connected by transitions.
Beginning at the inlet structure located on a ditch on the west/north side of the Des Plaines River, the conduit extends southeast under the Des Plaines River and Stevenson Expressway to an outlet structure located on the west/north side of the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal in the village of Summit, Lyons Township, County of Cook, State of Illinois.
The work for which tenders are invited consists of furnishing all material, labor and equipment required for rehabilitating 1,600 feet of the Summit Conduit of varying cross-section either by the cured-in-place pipe lining and/or machine spiral wound PVC pipe lining methods, and repair/rehabilitation of the inlet and outlet structures with spray-on products. The contract will provide an option to the contractor to modify the structures to suit his method selected for conduit rehabilitation without compromising the hydraulics of the structures.
