Oak Ridge Meadows Lift Station Refurbishment

The City of Brighton, Michigan is seeking contractors for the Oak Ridge Meadows Wastewater Lift Station Refurbishment project through a formal Invitation to Bid (ITB-WW-24-03). The procurement involves comprehensive rehabilitation of Lift Station #7, with specific requirements for replacing and upgrading critical infrastructure components. Key deliverables include installing two new Gorman Rupp pump assemblies, two 20 horsepower electric motors, replacing valves, level control systems, electrical components, and associated equipment. A mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for September 25, 2024, at 10 am, with final bids due on October 9, 2024, at 10 am. The project requires maintaining continuous wastewater service, with at least one pump remaining operational during the refurbishment, and using two-component epoxy coatings for infrastructure upgrades. Bidders must demonstrate technical capability to integrate SCADA systems using Allen-Bradley DF-1 serial protocol and potentially support future radio and Ethernet messaging upgrades. Evaluation criteria will include detailed company information, references, financial status, subcontractor details, and overall bid responsiveness, with the City reserving the right to reject non-compliant submissions.

While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are explicitly mentioned, the bid documents require comprehensive documentation about the bidding company's legal and financial structure. An addendum issued on September 16, 2024, introduces additional project specifications, including a requirement to replace the 100 amp main disconnect switch and establishing a project completion deadline of June 30, 2025. The project is located in Livingston County, Michigan, with infrastructure updates focused on improving wastewater management capabilities. Though no specific budget range is provided in the documents, the comprehensive technical requirements suggest a significant capital investment in municipal infrastructure rehabilitation. Contractors will need to provide a lump sum bid that encompasses all costs associated with equipment, materials, labor, removal, refurbishment, replacement, and site cleanup, indicating a potentially substantial project value for the selected vendor.
