Highway 81 Storage Drainage

The City of Enid in Garfield County, Oklahoma, is soliciting sealed proposals for the Highway 81 Storage Drainage project (Project No. F-2412C), a comprehensive drainage infrastructure improvement initiative. The procurement involves constructing a drainage system with high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipes ranging from 24" to 42" in diameter, including pipe installations, manhole construction, inlet and junction box installations, and associated site work. Key deliverables include pipe plugging, traffic control, erosion control, seeding, and pavement removal and replacement. Bidders must submit proposals by May 22, 2024, at 4:00 P.M., with a public bid opening at 4:10 P.M. in Conference Room B of the City Administration Building. A non-mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for May 10, 2024, at 10:00 A.M. via Zoom. Evaluation criteria include compliance with technical specifications, bid responsiveness, and meeting all required documentation, such as the Non-Collusion Affidavit and Business Relationships Affidavit. Contractors must provide a 5% proposal guaranty and demonstrate the capability to complete all work within the specified calendar days.

The procurement does not explicitly indicate specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises, though bidders must comply with the Energy Discrimination Elimination Act of 2022. Potential contractors will be required to obtain necessary permits, perform soil testing, protect existing utilities, and maintain the work for three years after acceptance. The bid requires a performance and statutory bond of 100% of the contract price, and contractors must maintain public liability and OCP insurance. While no specific incumbent vendors are mentioned, the project includes provisions for liquidated damages ranging from $100 to $350 per calendar day of delay. Bid documents can be obtained by registering online or purchased for a non-refundable fee of $25.00. The City reserves the right to reject any or all bids and to modify project quantities as necessary. Although a precise budget range is not specified, the comprehensive nature of the project and the detailed bid schedule suggest a significant infrastructure investment for drainage improvements in the Eagle City CDP area.
