The scope encompasses recoating the wet well interior, replacing riser piping and header piping, installing a bypass tee and plug valve, replacing three submersible pumps (720 GPM, 10 HP each), converting from a valve vault to a valve pad, and bypass pumping operations. The bid set includes 12 base rehabilitation items, 1 miscellaneous item for bonds, 7 extra work items to be used only as directed by the engineer, and 1 alternate bid item for stainless steel riser piping. Work must be completed within a specified number of calendar days after receiving written notice to proceed.

Bidders must submit a certified or cashier's check or bid bond from a Texas-licensed surety equal to 5% of the bid amount.

All bidders must submit a Texas Ethics Commission Form 1295 with a certificate number prior to contract award, with the original signed and notarized form delivered physically within two business days of award.
