INFORMATION /BACKGROUND
1. Large Diameter Water Pipe and Repair Services
Rangeline Pipeline Services, LLC, was ranked the highest and determined to be the best net value
for the City for providing potable water pipe and potable water pipe repair in normal and emergency
situations. Rangeline Pipeline Services, LLC provides various types of pipe for water line
construction and repair, concrete cylinder pressure pipe, standard and emergency repair services for
water reinforced concrete cylinder pipe for the Water Utilities. Water Utilities relies on Rangeline
Pipeline Services, LLC to make the necessary repairs on all concrete piping as the City does not
have the expertise or capability to perform this type of repair. Water Utilities purchases these types
of pipe material for our larger diameter distribution and transmission water lines.
2. Large Diameter Reinforced Concrete Drainage Pipe and Appurtenances
Forterra Pipe & Precast, LLC, was ranked the highest and determined to be the best net value for
the City for providing reinforced concrete drainage pipe, box culverts and safety end treatments.
The Drainage department uses the precast reinforced concrete pipe for making emergency repairs
of the underground storm drain system, box culverts at creek crossing and for new small capital
improvement projects. The bid has a large assortment of sizes which is necessary to cover the
numerous variations of sizes currently in our storm drain system. The quick accessibility to the pipe
from the vendor allows us to make repairs quickly and limit the impact to the citizens.
