King Salmon Wastewater Collection System Inspections

The Bristol Bay Borough is soliciting bids for the King Salmon Wastewater Collection System Inspections project through Invitation to Bid (ITB #25-06), seeking a contractor to perform comprehensive inspection and evaluation of the local sewer system infrastructure. The project requires remote operated vehicle (ROV) closed-circuit television (CCTV) inspection of gravity and force mains, comprehensive inspection of manholes, lift stations, wet wells, and associated infrastructure. Key deliverables include digital video recordings, images, detailed condition reports, and repair recommendations following NASSCO standards for pipeline and manhole assessment. Contractors must complete substantial project work by September 30, 2026, with final completion by December 31, 2026. Critical procurement dates include questions due by August 22, 2025, and bid submissions required through the Borough's Bonfire Procurement Portal by August 29, 2025 at 4:00 PM. Bidders must demonstrate technical capability to conduct ROV inspections, provide comprehensive system documentation, and comply with OSHA and Alaska Occupational Safety and Health regulations.

The contract includes specific Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) requirements with established participation goals of 3.26% for minority business enterprises and 1.48% for women's business enterprises. Bids exceeding $50,000 will require a 2.5% bid guarantee and performance/payment bonds. The Borough will provide lodging accommodations in a bunkhouse near Naknek School, including Wi-Fi, kitchen facilities, and a commuter vehicle, though contractors must provide their own food and supplies. The procurement includes four primary bid components: mobilization/demobilization, gravity mains inspection, force mains inspection, and cleaning services priced on a time-and-materials basis with an assumed 200 hours. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the inspection and infrastructure requirements suggests a substantial contract value. The Borough reserves standard rights to reject bids and will evaluate submissions based on technical capabilities, compliance with specifications, and overall project approach.
