About this opportunity
The City of Madison Engineering Department is seeking qualified geothermal well drillers to complete a specialized test bore and thermal conductivity testing project at two municipal sites. The procurement involves installing a 306-foot deep test bore at Fire Station 14 and a 406-foot deep test bore at Pinney Library, with comprehensive requirements including u-bend polyethylene assembly installation, high-solids bentonite grouting, data acquisition, site surveying, GPS documentation, and test bore marking. Bidders must submit an all-inclusive, not-to-exceed fixed fee using Form D, with separate costs for each site and optional deducts if specified depths cannot be achieved. The solicitation requires bidders to provide three references, preferably from Dane County, Wisconsin, and certify their ability to meet a strict completion schedule. Key dates include bid questions due by June 21, 2017, bid submission deadline of June 28, 2017 at 2:00 PM CST, site visits on July 5, 2017, project mobilization between July 10-14, 2017, thermal conductivity testing from July 17-26, 2017, and final reports due by August 4, 2017.
The contract includes local vendor preference provisions and specific insurance requirements, mandating Commercial General Liability insurance of $1,000,000 per occurrence, Business Automobile Liability of $1,000,000, statutory Workers' Compensation insurance, and Professional Liability insurance of $1,000,000. Affirmative action compliance is required for contractors with 15 or more employees conducting $25,000 or more in annual aggregate business with the City, necessitating the filing of an Affirmative Action Plan within 30 days of contract execution. The City of Madison is exempt from federal excise taxes and Wisconsin state sales tax. Contractors must comply with federal, state, and local laws, including coordination with Diggers Hotline for utility locations and obtaining necessary environmental confirmations from the DNR regarding bore location and wellhead protection areas. While a specific contract value is not explicitly stated, the comprehensive requirements and multi-site nature of the project suggest a significant technical and financial commitment from the selected vendor.
