The state and local contract opportunity involves a waterline extension project in Eakly Town, Garfield County, Oklahoma, focusing on installing an 8" PVC waterline along the 300-700 block of West Moore Avenue between Monroe and Adam streets. The procurement is being conducted through the Oklahoma Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF), with the City of Enid managing the bid process. Contractors must submit detailed proposals with itemized cost breakdowns, with the contract being awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. Key project requirements include compliance with Davis-Bacon Act prevailing wage standards and American Iron and Steel provisions mandating that all iron and steel products be produced in the United States. The bid package requires contractors to be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM), possess a DUNS number, and submit various certifications including non-collusion affidavits and equal opportunity compliance documentation. The proposal is due by July 10, 2024, with contractors expected to complete the project within the calendar days specified in their bid. Liquidated damages will be assessed for project delays, and contractors must obtain a DEQ Storm Water Construction Permit.

The project requires contractors to submit a 5% bid bond and provide 100% performance, statutory, and maintenance bonds, with the maintenance bond covering a three-year period. While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are explicitly mentioned, the procurement appears to be open to qualified contractors meeting the technical and administrative requirements. Bid evaluation will likely focus on technical capability, compliance with federal and state regulations, and overall cost-effectiveness. The project is funded through the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund, suggesting potential federal oversight and strict compliance standards. Though a specific budget range is not disclosed in the available documents, infrastructure projects of this nature typically range from $500,000 to $2 million depending on the complexity of the waterline extension and associated infrastructure work. Contractors will need to demonstrate expertise in municipal water infrastructure installation, familiarity with DWSRF project requirements, and the ability to meet stringent federal and state construction standards.
