This Invitation for Bid (IFB) is issued by Carroll County, Virginia for the MT. Zion Home Connections project, a construction contract involving plumbing and electrical connections for a newly installed Low-Pressure Sewer system. The procurement encompasses connecting 97 simplex grinder pump stations to approximately 97 existing residential properties along Wilcox Neck Road. The plumbing scope includes hand digging to locate existing sewer lines, cutting and connecting lines to grinder stations, capping abandoned pipes, installing up to 20 feet of 4-inch Schedule 40 PVC lateral per home, installing cleanouts at redirected gravity laterals, and backfilling and seeding all excavations. The electrical work requires installation of one 30-amp, 120/240-volt, 4-wire circuit per grinder pump station, including all associated inspection fees, coordination with County Building Inspection, upgrades to existing electrical distribution equipment as required, installation of safety switches, and construction of pump control panel mounts and backboards using pressure-treated lumber with specified dimensions. Qualified bidders must demonstrate site familiarity through thorough visual examination, provide evidence of authority to do business in Virginia, submit a current state contractor's license, and furnish references for a minimum of three similar projects. The bid is due May 21, 2026, with bidders required to submit bids within 30 days of bid opening, while substantial completion is required within 30 days from notice to proceed and final completion within 60 days from notice to proceed.
