Bid Title: RFP for Lead Service Line Replacement Project
Category: Bid Opportunities Status: Open Description: Background
The City of Fremont, Nebraska Department of Utilities (FDU) is soliciting proposals from
qualified consulting firms to provide operational management support for its Lead Service Line
Replacement (LSLR) project. This project is funded through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law
and aims to accelerate the complete replacement of all lead and galvanized water service lines
in Fremont, Nebraska.
The City has already started service line material verification and has begun building a
preliminary inventory of service line materials. There are approximately 600 lead and
galvanized service lines remaining to be replaced. The City plans to replace approximately 100–
150 service lines per year over the life of the project.
Per the EPA’s Lead and Copper Rule Improvements (LCRI), all lead and galvanized service lines
must be fully replaced by November 1, 2037. This RFP seeks a consultant partner to help the
City of Fremont meet or exceed this regulatory deadline.
FDU intends to select a single, experienced consultant team to serve as the primary project
consultant. The selected firm will provide comprehensive support in data management,
construction administration, property owner engagement, and grant/funding oversight.
The selected firm shall assist FDU in completing the following:
· Baseline Service Line Inventory
· Developing Service Line Replacement Plan
· Data and Documentation Management
· Construction Management
· Property Outreach
· Funding Management
· Program Management
· Tap Sampling Program
FDU desires to start lead service line repairs in calendar year 2026 and be completed with all service line
replacements no later than December of 2034. Service lines with known lead will be of the highest
priority and required to be removed first.
