What this bid is

Central Ohio Transit Authority (COTA) wants a contractor to clean and rehabilitate deteriorated drainage piping at its McKinley Facility in Columbus, Ohio. The work starts with mechanical augering and high-pressure water jetting to clear debris and buildup, followed by three monthly follow-up jet-cleaning visits. Identified pipe sections would then be sleeved using a trenchless or minimally invasive method, with restoration of affected areas and a camera inspection afterward. The notice says the contractor supplies labor, equipment, materials, disposal, documentation, warranties and a final completion report. Final acceptance depends on the completed work, the inspection results, restoration and COTA accepting the closeout paperwork. COTA alone decides who is selected.
