IFB 2024 Well Redevelopment

The Littleton Water Department (LWD) in Middlesex County, Massachusetts, is initiating an Invitation for Bid (IFB) for the 2024 Well Redevelopment project, seeking qualified contractors to perform comprehensive well rehabilitation services. The procurement specifically targets the cleaning and redevelopment of nine designated water wells (Wells 1, 2-1, 2-2, 2-3, 3-1, 3-2, 3-3, 3-4, and 5) located in Littleton, MA. Contractors will be required to execute well redevelopment through multiple methodologies, including in-situ techniques, mechanical surging, and chemical treatments, with mandatory performance testing to follow. The bid documents are available electronically on the LWD website, and interested parties must submit their bids by 2:00 p.m. on December 5th, 2024. Bidders are required to provide a bid deposit equaling 5% of their total bid amount, and the contract will be awarded to the lowest responsible and eligible bidder. The LWD reserves the right to reject any or all bids and to waive minor informalities if deemed in the best interest of the department.

While no specific set-aside designations or disadvantaged enterprise requirements are explicitly mentioned in the documentation, the procurement appears open to qualified contractors capable of meeting the technical specifications. The bid requires a payment bond equal to 50% of the total bid amount for the successful bidder, indicating a substantial financial commitment. The project involves working with existing water infrastructure, suggesting contractors should have specialized experience in municipal water system well rehabilitation. Though a specific budget range is not provided, the complexity of rehabilitating nine distinct wells implies a potentially significant project value. Prospective bidders are advised to carefully review all documentation and are encouraged to submit any questions or requests for clarification in writing to Paul Denaro of the Littleton Water Department prior to the bid submission deadline.
