Killdeer Plains Water Control Structure Replacement at GTR West and Pond 3

The Ohio Division of Wildlife is seeking a contractor to replace water control structures at the Killdeer Plains Wildlife Area in Wyandot County, specifically at the Pond 3 and GTR West locations. The project involves removing existing concrete water control structures and corresponding pipes, and installing new 8-foot AgriDrain control structures with 18-inch diameter corrugated plastic pipes. Contractors will be responsible for disposing of existing concrete structures and pipes, replacing riprap, refilling with topsoil, regrading, and reseeding disturbed areas. The project must be completed by June 30, 2026, with work to be performed Monday through Friday between 7:00 AM and 4:00 PM. A mandatory pre-bid meeting and site visit is scheduled for December 11, 2025, and bidding will be conducted through OhioBuys as one complete task. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with the Ohio Division of Wildlife providing all materials and water control structures.

The procurement appears to have no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, though the Addendum to Bid Quote Template suggests potential requirements for minority and diverse business enterprise (MBE/EDGE) vendor participation. Contractors must comply with various Ohio Revised Code sections and complete an Affirmation and Disclosure Form, which requires detailed information about business locations and offshore service restrictions. The contract includes provisions prohibiting services from being performed offshore and mandates disclosure of service locations for both the primary contractor and subcontractors. While a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the contract includes standard payment terms of net 30 days and provisions for invoicing through Ohio Shared Services. Contractors must also complete an OPERS Independent Contractor Form, confirming their status and understanding of potential benefits limitations.
