This file consists of plans and specifications for a domestic water well construction project managed by the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) at the Ladd Marsh Wildlife Area in La Grande, Oregon. The project requires a contractor to drill, develop, install a well pump, and test an approximately 300-foot-deep water well, including installation of a pitless adaptor, 60-gallon bladder pressure tank, and a well pump system designed to yield approximately 10 gallons per minute. A mandatory pre-bid conference is scheduled for June 25, 2024, at the project site, with bids due by July 9, 2024, at 2:00 PM Pacific Time. The project has a substantial completion timeline of 90 calendar days from the notice to proceed, with liquidated damages assessed at $500 per day for failure to meet completion deadlines.

Bidders must be registered in OregonBuys, hold a valid Oregon Construction Contractors Board license, and provide three references for comparable projects completed within the last five years. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder following a detailed responsibility inquiry. The estimated project budget is $30,000, funded through state funds from the USFWS - PR program. Contractors must comply with prevailing wage rates, recycled product usage requirements, and provide certifications related to tax status, drug testing, and non-discrimination practices. The procurement includes set-aside provisions for certified disadvantaged businesses, requiring bidders to demonstrate reasonable steps to ensure minority-owned, woman-owned, service-disabled veteran-owned, and emerging small businesses have equal opportunities for subcontracting. Payment terms require invoices to be submitted for approval with payment due within 45 days, and contractors must maintain compliance with federal, state, and local laws, including Oregon tax regulations and workers' compensation coverage requirements.
