Ames Raw Water Transmission Main Rehabilitation - Creek Crossing

The City of Enid in Garfield County, Oklahoma, is seeking bids for the Ames Raw Water Transmission Main Rehabilitation project, focusing on creek crossings at Turkey and Spring Creeks. The procurement involves rehabilitating approximately 2,220-2,347 linear feet of 24-30 inch water transmission main, with three installation options: Ductile Iron Pipe, HDPE Pipe, and Fusible PVC Pipe. Contractors must perform boring and potentially open trench installation, including pipe materials, valves, fittings, construction staking, restoration, and pressure testing. The project is funded through an American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) grant from the Oklahoma Water Resources Board. Bid documents require a 5% bid bond, and the successful bidder must execute a contract within seven days of award. The proposal was solicited on June 24th, with sealed bids due by June 12, 2024, and contract time to be determined by the contractor's bid. Bidders must provide comprehensive documentation and comply with technical specifications outlined in the detailed addenda.

The contract has specific requirements for Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBEs), mandating contractors undertake six good faith efforts to involve DBE participants. Contractors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM.gov) and provide various affidavits, including Non-Collusion and Business Relationship Affidavits. The project requires 100% performance and statutory bonds, with liquidated damages of $350 per calendar day for delays. Contractors must maintain public liability and workers' compensation insurance with specified minimum coverage amounts. If the total project cost exceeds $10 million, Davis-Bacon Act wage rules will apply. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the comprehensive bid package and ARPA funding suggest a significant infrastructure investment. Contractors must also provide a three-year maintenance bond upon project completion, demonstrating a commitment to long-term infrastructure quality and performance.
