About this opportunity
The USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service is soliciting bids for the upgrade and replacement of lift station and sump pit pumping systems at the National Center for Applied Plant Protection facility in Laurel, Maryland. The project requires installing three new silt and solid handling pump systems to replace six obsolete Zoeller Model G294-E pumps that have experienced multiple maintenance issues, inadequate piping, and safety hazards. The new systems must be fully automated, high-efficiency units with redundant features, complete with guiderails, supports, controls, valves, and piping modifications that connect to existing site infrastructure and computer systems. Contractors will be evaluated based on technical capability, price, and past performance, with references required demonstrating relevant construction experience with sewer lines and related structures. A mandatory site visit is scheduled for July 29, 2025, at 10:00 a.m. ET, with proposal submissions due by August 13, 2025, at 12:00 p.m. local time.
This solicitation is set aside exclusively for small businesses under NAICS code 237110 (Water and Sewer Line and Related Structures Construction), with an estimated project value ranging between $100,000 and $250,000. The existing system handles approximately 3,000 gallons of liquid slurry and material per day across three locations using lead/lag pump configurations for redundancy. The contract will be awarded as a firm-fixed price construction contract with a performance period requiring work to commence within 10 calendar days and complete the entire project within 90 calendar days from the Notice to Proceed. All work will be performed at the National Center for Applied Plant Protection facility in Laurel, Maryland, and contractors must comply with Davis-Bacon wage rates and use domestic construction materials. The project emphasizes the need for "stock unit" pumps to facilitate easier service and repair, while maintaining facility operations throughout the construction period.

Update #2 · Latest ·
This is a USDA, Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service requirement to upgrade a lift station at the National Center for Applied Plant Protection facility in Laurel, MD.
Background:
Due to the multiple maintenance issues, antiquated equipment, and operational criticality for the facility, the current lift station pump system and downstream sump pump systems are obsolete and need replacing. The current system uses six Zoeller Model G294-E pumps (two pumps in three locations) installed in lead/lag configurations for redundancy. Several key components on the system are either deteriorating or inoperable, including deteriorating guide rails and supports needed for repair and/or replacement of the pumps. The effluent discharge piping has been reworked several times due to clogging with silt and other materials and is undersized for its application, resulting in numerous clogs requiring labor-intensive maintenance. Additionally, the discharge piping is not supported properly and routed improperly to facilitate proper function. The piping also blocks access to the adjacent pump control panels, creating an additional hazard for personnel maintaining the system.
The project includes installation of three new silt and solid handling pump systems within the lift station and downstream sump pump systems, including all required guiderails, supports, controls, valves, and piping modifications. The pumping systems must be fully automated, high efficiency, and equipped with redundant features. These features will ensure the system is effective and lead to consistent results without making the process cumbersome or inconvenient. Contractor will connect the new pump systems to the existing site/building infrastructure and computer system. Likewise, the pumps must be a “stock unit” for ease of acquiring service and repair.
