As-Needed Well Rehabilitation Services

The Alameda County Water District (ACWD) is soliciting proposals for as-needed well rehabilitation services for its production wells through Request for Proposals (RFP) 25-26-01. The procurement seeks qualified firms to provide comprehensive consulting services for rehabilitating wells with various casing types, including carbon steel, stainless steel, and mixed configurations. Proposers must hold a valid Class C-57 California Contractor's License and demonstrate experience through references from similar well rehabilitation projects completed within the past five years. The contract will have a two-year base term with three potential one-year option renewals at the District's discretion. Evaluation criteria will be based on a 100-point scoring system, with 40 points for methodology and approach, 35 points for qualifications and experience, and 25 points for cost proposal. Key deliverables include video camera surveys, physical rehabilitation work, and waste disposal services. The pre-proposal meeting is scheduled for July 14, 2025, with proposals due on July 31, 2025, and an anticipated contract award in September 2025. Proposers must submit a detailed bid schedule with lump sum and hourly rates for various services, and the lowest bidder will be determined by comparing bids for a representative well rehabilitation project (Mowry 6).

The RFP does not explicitly mention any set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The contract includes provisions for economic price adjustments, with a maximum annual increase of 3.5% based on the Consumer Price Index. Contractors will be responsible for environmental compliance, including using secondary containment for temporary water storage tanks and properly disposing of collected solids in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations. Pollution insurance requirements have been adjusted to $1M/2M for maintenance projects. While specific budget ranges are not detailed, the comprehensive nature of the services and the two-year contract term suggest a potentially significant investment in well rehabilitation. Contractors must also comply with specific environmental protection guidelines, including pollution prevention measures and waste management protocols. The addendum to the RFP requires bidders to return a signed acknowledgment, ensuring they have reviewed and understood the updated specifications and requirements.
