Cacapon State Park New Sewage Lift Station

The West Virginia Department of Administration Purchasing Division, on behalf of the Division of Natural Resources, is soliciting bids for heavy construction services to install a new sewage pump lift station at Cacapon Resort State Park in Berkeley Springs, with bids due October 13, 2026 at 1:30 p.m. ET (extended from September 10 by Addendum #1). A mandatory pre-bid meeting is required for all vendors; a specific date and time are not identified in the solicitation documents.

The scope involves replacement of an existing lift station with a packaged duplex grinder pump station sized for 44 gallons per minute at 87 feet of total dynamic head, paired with a 2-inch steel force main extending 1,220 linear feet to the next lift station, serving the Pro Golf Shop facility at 818 Cacapon Lodge Drive. All construction must comply with applicable federal, state, and local laws; the project is subject to Davis-Bacon wage rate requirements due to federal funding and West Virginia's preference for domestic steel, aluminum, and glass products.

Bidders must hold a valid West Virginia contractor's license and demonstrate completion of at least two similar projects. A 5% bid bond is required with submission; upon award, the contractor must furnish performance and labor/material payment bonds each equal to 100% of the contract value. Substantial completion is required within 180 days and final completion within 210 days from notice to proceed. Payment is made in arrears with 10% retainage until substantial completion. A drug-free workplace affidavit is required. The local labor market hiring requirement mandates that at least 75% of employees be hired from the local labor market. Pricing must remain firm for the life of the contract. Liquidated damages apply for failure to meet completion deadlines.

Addendum #2 (September 23, 2026) provides clarifications and responses to bidder inquiries; vendors must acknowledge receipt of all addenda with bid submission. Bids are submitted to the Department of Administration Purchasing Division at 2019 Washington Street East, Charleston, WV 25305. The buyer is Joseph E. Hager III, (304) 558-2306 or joseph.e.hageriii@wv.gov.
