FIMI 3D Well Relocation Construction

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers New York District is preparing to solicit a construction contract for the FIMI Contract 3D Well & Pump House project located in Ocean Beach, Fire Island, Suffolk County, New York. The project involves installing a 1,000 gpm deep well turbine pump and constructing a wood-framed pumphouse to house critical water infrastructure components including electric motors, flow meters, piping, valves, and switchgear. The proposed facility will include a reinforced concrete foundation, concrete driveway, manual transfer switch, and generator receptacle. A key objective is to construct a discharge pipe that will deliver raw water from the new well to an existing treatment facility, ultimately connecting treated water to distribution pipelines. The pre-solicitation notice was posted on May 16, 2025, with responses due by June 1, 2025, indicating a relatively short turnaround time for potential bidders.

The contract opportunity does not have a specific set-aside designation, suggesting it will be open to all qualified contractors. The project falls under the NAICS category 237110 for Water and Sewer Line and Related Structures Construction, with a Product Service Code (PSC) of Y1JZ for Construction of Miscellaneous Buildings. While specific budget details are not provided in the pre-solicitation notice, the complexity of the infrastructure project suggests a potentially significant investment in water system improvement. The scope of work involves specialized construction and infrastructure development, likely requiring contractors with specific expertise in municipal water system installation and related civil engineering capabilities. The project's location on Fire Island also implies potential logistical challenges that bidders will need to consider in their proposal preparation.
