Emergency Standby Generators Installation Project (Riverside Pump Station & Ops Building)

The City of Waco, Texas, is soliciting bids for the Emergency Standby Generators Installation Project (RFB 2026-009) at the Riverside Water Treatment Plant, specifically targeting the High Service Pump Station and Operations Building. The scope of work encompasses the complete installation of emergency standby generator systems at both locations, including all labor, materials, equipment, appurtenances, electrical components, civil site improvements, and incidental items necessary for full project completion and acceptance. Work items are organized into four sections: General Conditions (mobilization, bonds, insurance, trench safety planning, and stormwater pollution prevention), Riverside WTP High Service Pump Station Generator installation (16 line items covering demolition, civil site work, electrical components, foundations, and testing), Riverside WTP Operations Building Generator installation (10 line items with similar scope elements), and Miscellaneous Items including as-built documentation. A mandatory on-site pre-bid meeting is scheduled for March 2, 2026, at 10:30 a.m. Central Time, with attendance required for all prospective bidders. The bid due date is March 19, 2026, with bid opening scheduled for 2:00 p.m. Central Time via Zoom. Contractors must submit firm pricing for each lump-sum line item on the provided pricing sheet, identify all proposed subcontractors by work type, and provide unit prices that will be extended and totaled to establish the official bid amount. Two items include fixed costs: a $100,000 contingency allowance and Oncor charges of $15,000 for High Service Pump Station modifications and $5,000 for Operations Building service modifications.

The bid package documents do not specify set-aside designations, disadvantaged enterprise restrictions, or incumbent vendor information. No existing contractor or current vendor integration requirements are detailed in the available documentation. The procurement does not include a stated contract award value or budget range, though the General Conditions section identifies a $100,000 contingency allowance and $20,000 in fixed Oncor charges as project components. Prospective bidders should review the complete 73MB bid package for comprehensive technical specifications, project drawings, detailed site conditions, contractual terms, and any additional qualifications or evaluation criteria necessary for proposal preparation and submission.
