66th Street Industrial Park Waterline Improvements Phase 1

The City of Enid in Garfield County, Oklahoma, is seeking competitive bids for the 66th Street Industrial Park Waterline Improvements Phase 1 project, a comprehensive infrastructure development initiative. The procurement involves the design and installation of new waterlines along 66th Street between Chestnut Avenue and Willow Avenue, with a complex scope of work including approximately 10,380 linear feet of 18" HDPE pipe installation using both boring and open trench methods. The project requires installing 14 fire hydrant assemblies, gate valves, and associated infrastructure components, with both a base bid covering specific stations and two alternate bids for additional project sections. Contractors must provide detailed line items with quantities and unit prices, demonstrating capabilities in municipal water infrastructure construction. The proposal requires a 5% proposal guaranty, performance and maintenance bonds, and compliance with Davis-Bacon wage determinations. The contract opportunity was posted on September 6, 2024, with proposals due by October 29, 2024, and contractors must complete the project within the calendar days specified in their bid submission.

The procurement does not explicitly specify set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged business enterprises, though federal contracting standards suggest potential opportunities for such organizations. The project requires contractors to maintain public liability and OCP insurance and provide a three-year maintenance bond after project completion. Wage rates for the project are governed by the 2024 Davis-Bacon wage determination for heavy construction in Oklahoma, with minimum wages ranging from $11.00 to $46.48 per hour depending on job classification. While a specific budget range is not disclosed, the comprehensive nature of the waterline improvements suggests a significant capital investment for municipal infrastructure. Contractors must demonstrate expertise in horizontal directional drilling, pipe installation, traffic management, and municipal construction techniques, with particular attention to maintaining 66th Street's through traffic during construction. The project represents a critical infrastructure upgrade for the City of Enid's industrial park development, requiring precise engineering and construction capabilities.
