Red rock potable water line repair

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Nevada State Office is seeking contractors to locate and repair a leaking 2-inch diameter potable water pipeline that serves a restroom facility at the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area Visitor Center Complex in Las Vegas, Nevada. The project involves excavating approximately 20 linear feet of damaged pipeline, installing new Schedule 40 PVC piping and fittings, conducting water testing for total coliform compliance, and restoring concrete walkways to match existing conditions. Contractors must provide traffic control, coordinate with BLM staff for visitor safety, and follow specific disinfection procedures using NSF 61 chlorine solutions. The procurement will use a best-value trade-off evaluation process, with technical capability and past performance weighted more heavily than price. A mandatory site visit is scheduled for August 28, 2025, with questions due by August 29, 2025, and quotes due by September 4, 2025, at 1:00 PM PDT.

This opportunity is designated as a total small business set-aside with no incumbent contractor, representing a new requirement for the government. The contract value is estimated between $25,000 and $100,000 as a firm fixed-price construction contract. The scope includes excavating 11 bank cubic yards, replacing 20 feet of piping, and backfilling 13 cubic yards of material, with work depths reaching approximately 5 feet. Performance must begin within 10 business days of award and be completed by October 31, 2025, with contractors required to provide a one-year warranty on all work. The project will be performed at the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area Visitor Center Complex, with work hours limited to Monday through Friday, 7:30 AM to 4:30 PM, and contractors must comply with Davis-Bacon Act prevailing wage requirements for Clark County, Nevada.
