Municipal Well Rehabilitation

The City of Watertown, Wisconsin, is seeking qualified contractors for the comprehensive rehabilitation of Municipal Well #5, located at 806 S. 1st Street. The procurement is structured as a Request for Quote (RFQ) for a full-service well maintenance project involving a 75 Hp GE motor and 10-inch 2-stage pump currently set at 150 feet depth and pumping approximately 1,800 GPM. The scope encompasses 16 primary tasks including equipment mobilization, motor testing, well rehabilitation, disinfection, performance testing, and return to service. Contractors must provide pricing for the base work and separately itemize 14 optional line items such as shaft couplings, column pipe sections, bearings, sandblasting, epoxy coating, and chemical treatment. Submissions are due via email to thayden@watertownwi.gom by May 3, 2024, at 10:00 AM, with the overall bid opportunity open until May 13, 2024. Successful bidders must demonstrate compliance with Wisconsin Administrative Code NR 812.41(1) for well disinfection and manage all necessary Department of Natural Resources notifications and reporting requirements.

The RFQ does not specify any specific set-aside designations, disadvantaged enterprise requirements, or restrictions on organizational respondents. No incumbent vendor information or current contract status is disclosed in the documentation. While the document does not outline specific budget limitations or total project cost ranges, contractors are expected to provide comprehensive pricing for both mandatory and optional rehabilitation components. Contractors will be responsible for equipment disposal and must coordinate with the property owner regarding material disposal methods. The well was last rehabilitated in March 2016, suggesting this is a periodic maintenance procurement to ensure continued operational efficiency of the municipal water infrastructure. Contact for questions and submissions is Tim Hayden, Water Systems Assistant Manager, who can be reached at thayden@watertownwi.gom or (920) 285-4215 for additional information about the well rehabilitation project.
