Lift Station Project for Athletics Fields

The College prefers to retain the existing pump assembly if possible. An optional second bid item requests pricing for installation of two pumps within the same lift station. The contract term is one-time-only services.

Pricing must be quoted on an F.O.B. destination basis including shipping, handling, and related expenses, with no sales tax included. Unit prices govern in case of extension errors; bids subject to unlimited price increases will not be considered. All bids must remain valid for ninety days from the due date. Evaluation criteria include price, vendor reputation, quality, ability to meet College needs, past performance relationships, and long-term cost considerations.

Successful contractors must submit a certified insurance certificate within fifteen days of request, listing Alvin College as additional insured, with minimum coverage of $1 million Workers' Compensation and Employers' Liability; $1 million per person and $2 million per occurrence for bodily injury, and $1 million per occurrence for property damage under Comprehensive General Liability; and $5 million Excess Liability.
