Ngwsp pumping plant 1

The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation's Upper Colorado Region is seeking a contractor to construct Pumping Plant 1 (PP1) for the Navajo-Gallup Water Supply Project (NGWSP). Located 13 miles west of Farmington, New Mexico, the project involves building a comprehensive pumping facility that includes access road regrading, a metal building, vertical centrifugal pumping systems, steel manifold piping, air chambers, electrical systems, a precast concrete vault, and a control system. Interested small businesses are required to submit detailed responses by March 25, 2025, at 1:00 pm MT, addressing company details, business classification, bonding capability, a capabilities statement, and a listing of 3-5 previous projects involving pipe repair or modifications. The contract will be evaluated based on the submitted capabilities, with a focus on small business qualifications and technical competence in water infrastructure construction. Responses should be submitted directly to Amy Loveless (Contract Specialist) and Ashton Jones (Contracting Officer) via email.

The procurement is currently not set aside for any specific business category, though the sources sought notice suggests the potential for a small business set-aside in the future. The project is classified under NAICS code 237110 with a small business size standard of $45.0 million, indicating significant opportunity for qualified contractors. The estimated contract value ranges between $35-50 million, supporting the broader NGWSP infrastructure initiative aimed at providing municipal and industrial water supply to the Navajo Nation, Jicarilla Apache Nation, and Gallup, New Mexico. The project represents a substantial infrastructure investment in water supply capabilities for the region, with potential long-term economic and community benefits. While no incumbent contractors are specifically mentioned, the detailed technical requirements suggest a complex project requiring specialized engineering and construction expertise in water supply infrastructure.
