Camp Dawson Backflow Preventer(s) Replacement

The West Virginia Department of Administration Purchasing Division, acting on behalf of the Adjutant General's Office, is soliciting bids for a Centralized Request for Quote (CRFQ) to replace ten backflow preventers at the Camp Dawson Army Training Site near Kingwood, West Virginia. The project requires a qualified contractor to provide comprehensive services including labor, materials, tools, equipment, and supervision to replace backflow preventers that failed recent inspections across multiple buildings. Specific deliverables include removing existing failed backflow preventers and installing new units with matching capabilities and sizes, ranging from 3/4" to 6" from manufacturers like Watts and Wilkins Zurn. A mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for August 19, 2025, at 9:30 am in Building 301-Post Engineering, with technical questions due by August 26, 2025, at 11:00 am. The bid response deadline is September 3, 2025, at 1:30 pm, with a fixed contract period of 90 calendar days. Contractors must submit third-party testing reports for the new preventers and comply with all specified technical requirements.

The contract requires contractors to have a valid West Virginia Contractor's License and maintain $1,000,000 in Commercial General Liability and Automobile Liability insurance. There are specific local labor market hiring requirements mandating that at least 75% of employees be hired from the local workforce. The project is contingent upon receipt of federal funding, and vendors are expected to honor their pricing for 90 days from the bid opening date. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the procurement is for a fixed-price construction project focused on infrastructure maintenance at the Camp Dawson Army Training Site located at 240 Army Road in Kingwood, WV.
