About this file
This is Addendum #1 to Request for Bid Number 260171 issued by the City of Wichita, Kansas, Public Works & Utilities Department/Facilities Division, for wet-well pit cleaning and preventive maintenance services. The scope of services requires contractors to remove solids, grit, and debris from four pump stations, transport and dispose of materials at an approved landfill, and power wash interior wet-well walls. The four stations are located at 436 S. Oliver St (Station 6), 420 S. Ridgecrest Rd. (Station 7), 448 S. Windsor Rd. (Station 8), and 8028 E. Kellogg Ave. (Station 9). The pit dimensions are as follows: Station 6 measures 19.8' x 14.8', while Stations 7, 8, and 9 measure 19.55' x 30', 19.55' x 30', and 19.55' x 25.65' respectively.

Vendors must electronically acknowledge receipt of this addendum via the City's Procurement Portal.
The addendum provides clarification on project conditions and expected work duration. The pits were last cleaned 3.5 years ago, with an expected debris depth of 2 to 3 feet consisting primarily of dirt, leaves, and trash. The typical cleaning schedule requires approximately one hour for setup, four to five hours for the actual cleaning depending on pit conditions, and one hour for breakdown per station per day. This is the first time the City has put this project out for bid, and no previous bid tab or budget estimate is available. All vendor responses must be submitted electronically through the City's Procurement Portal as part of the completion of submission to acknowledge receipt of this addendum.
