<br />d. Understanding of Scope and Services
<br />MBC has thoroughly reviewed RFP 21-036 Sewer System Repair Services. This project includes sewer system
<br />repair services on an as -needed basis, of which can be awarded to up to 3 firms. The City of Santa Ana services
<br />over 343,000 people, covers an area of over 27.2 miles, contains 400 miles of sanitary sewer, 9,000 manholes,
<br />48,500 sewer laterals, and 2 sewer lift stations which will convey the sewage to the Orange County Sanitation
<br />District for Treatment.
<br />Our responsibilities once awarded the agreement will be to be available on an On Call basis ready to respond
<br />upon request. We will provide a 24-hoerrr response time. The basis of which is to provide lump sum pricing for
<br />certain requested activities along with Time and Materials services, when directed. We will obtain and pay for a
<br />fire hydrant meter permit to fill our water tank or other equipment, to provide water for compaction, as well as
<br />water for dust control. Any of our intended subcontractors will be presented for approval prior to utilization
<br />through the City of Santa Ana.
<br />MBC specializes in dealing with sewer systems that are in densely populated urban areas that are either in
<br />current usage, bypassed, or diverted. We own operate and maintain bypassing pumps, plugs, and flow through
<br />diversion plugs so that we can successfully perform these repairs without sewer leaks or spills. We are staged
<br />and ready to perform any sewer line replacement, installation, or rehabilitation set forth in this project. We will
<br />self -perform the following scopes of work: Traffic Control, Demolition, Excavation, Shoring, Subgrade
<br />Preparation, Pipeline Repair/Rehabiiitationllnstallation, Encasements, Brick Maintenance Hole Repair, Backfill,
<br />Base Paving, CCTV inspections, Scheduiing, Safety, Management, and Quality Control.
<br />A small list of repairs was identified in the RFP however MBC is staged and ready to perform other scopes in
<br />addition to what is listed, if required. Focusing an the items identified in the RFP we will be called upon to
<br />repair/replace 6", 8", 10", and 12" sewer mains varying in depths from less than 8' deep and less than 12'
<br />deep. In addition to the stated depths, gravity sewer mains quite often go deeper than 12' and when that
<br />situation presents, we possess in-house equipment to safely shore these excavations. We will complete these
<br />repairs with our own forces. The equipment required for these repairs is currently in stock in our 8-acre
<br />warehouse which is located just 25 miles north of the city. Therefore, we are able to respond to any repair at
<br />any time.
<br />Some repairs may require upsizing and rechanneling of flow. We will self -perform the remodeling of any sewer
<br />manhole bases. When the need arises for installing new manholes we will perform the excavation and
<br />preparation for the new manhole. If the manhole is a cast in place manhole we will commission the services of
<br />one of our trusted subcontractors that we have worked hand in hand with over the past 4 decades to perform
<br />the cast- in -place section. MBC will then stack the manhole shafting and set the cover to grade. On existing
<br />manholes that require an adjustment to grade, or the existing collar needs to be replacement we will also self -
<br />perform this scope of work.
<br />When lateral services are in need of repair, MBC will provide all of the access, flow diversion, demolition, clean
<br />out installations, and backfill to perform the lining or pipe bursting. We will subcontract the lining, top hat repairs,
<br />and pipe bursting to qualified subcontractors with whom we have worked with in the past.
<br />We understand that the mark ups are identified as 20% on Labor, 15% on Material, -15% on Equipment Rental,
<br />15% on Other Items and Expenditures and 1% will be added for bonding.
<br />After MBC receives a notification of a requested repair-, our project manager will immediately visit the site, inspect
<br />the area for what the repair methods will be, document the existing conditions, and create a project file for the
<br />repair. if requested by the City of Santa Ana, we will immediately provide a lump sum proposal for the work. If
