About this opportunity

Written by GovTribe AI ·

The U.S. Department of State, specifically the U.S. Embassy in Lusaka, Zambia, is seeking a contractor to perform comprehensive water and storm water reticulation services at 4049 Lukulu Road. The project involves extensive infrastructure modifications, including demolition of existing water and sewer systems, excavation of trenches, and installation of new water supply and drainage infrastructure. Contractors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) database prior to submitting a proposal, with failure to register potentially rendering a bid non-responsive. Electronic submissions are permitted, with a response deadline of April 18, 2025, and strict requirements that individual email submissions not exceed 5MB. Key contract requirements include minor demolition works, excavation and backfilling, concrete works, plumbing installations, and connecting to the city water supply, with specific technical specifications for pipe sizes, concrete strength, and installation methods.

The contract opportunity is not designated with any specific set-aside and will be performed at the U.S. Embassy Lusaka located at Plot 692 Lot 100 Ibex Hill Road in Lusaka, Zambia. The project falls under NAICS category 237110 for water and sewer line construction, with a primary objective of reconfiguring the existing reticulation systems to improve drainage, reduce maintenance efforts, and create better access around the property. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the work suggests a substantial infrastructure investment. The project scope includes installing a 5000L plastic septic tank, various pipe systems (UPVC, CPVC, GI), garden taps, and electrical connections for water tank pumps. The contract's archive policy is set to automatic, though the specific archive date remains undefined, and vendors are allowed to add or remove themselves from the interested vendors list.
