This is a Total Small Business set-aside (NAICS 237110, $45 threshold); the original set-aside generated no responses and was reopened to unrestricted small business.
Place of performance is Montrose County, Colorado (latitude 38.06529167 N, longitude -108.63154723 W). The contractor must provide a complete system comprising a solar pumping array at an existing water well, gravity-fed elevated buried storage tank, wildlife drinking tank with frost-proof hydrant, and provisions for future stockwater tank upgrade. The system must maintain 500 gallons of water per day to the drinking tank with minimal human input except winterization and annual maintenance, and operate freeze-proof year-round. Work must be completed within 360 days of Notice to Proceed, Monday through Friday excluding federal holidays, with contract time paused upon request when snow or snowmelt prevents site access. Period of performance is October 1, 2026 through September 26, 2027.
A licensed well contractor per Colorado Board of Examiners standards (2 CCR 402-14) must perform well investigation and improvement; the prime contractor may self-perform excavation, piping, tank installation, and related water system work. Offerors must demonstrate at least five years in project planning and three to five years in well installation or improvement with formal training, and submit three to six similar projects completed within the past three years. The contract is firm fixed-price with Davis-Bacon Act prevailing wage requirements for Montrose County. Performance and payment bonds equal to 100 percent of contract price are required within 10 days of award. Award is based on best value, equally weighting price and technical factors including technical approach, past performance, and schedule. All invoicing occurs through www.ipp.gov with 14-day prompt pay.
